HORSE SENSE

There's something about Marianna.

We recently acquired every episode of the original Star Trek and Marianna Hill is just one of dozens of beautiful guest stars who appeared on the show. She was in the episode “Dagger of the Mind” playing the character Dr. Helen Noel, and later went on to guest on other television shows. She also had roles in The Godfather Part II, Medium Cool, and El Condor (memorably nude, FYI), and was also in the amazing Blood Beach, which we discussed a while back. She was born Marianna Schwarzkopf but overcame that nicely. The above shot of her is probably from around 1968, and the photo below is from 1966.
