| - Arlene Martel (b. 1936) is a Bronx-born actress who made numerous TV and film appearances from the 1960s onward, often capitalizing on her exotic looks. Science fiction fans know her best as T'Pring, Mr. Spock's fiancee, in the classic Star Trek episode "Amok Time". In The Six Million Dollar Man episode "The Last of the Fourth of Julys", she played Violette. Now in her 70s, she continues to act and recently appeared in the fan-made Star Trek Internet film, Of Gods and Men.
- Martel was born in New York City. She spent her early years growing up in a slum in the Bronx, but had a very lively imagination. At age 8, her mother's millionaire boss saw her family's poor living conditions as well as noticed her own personal potential, and decided to become her personal benefactor, and had her family taken out of the slums and her sent to a private boarding school in Connecticut, where her acting and writing skills were discovered and encouraged to grow. At age 12, she went to back to New York to audition at the famed High School for Performing Arts, without her mother's knowledge or consent. She passed the audition, soon excelling at the school, and being awarded the school's top drama award at the time of her graduation. One of her teachers is the now renowned director Sidney Lumet. Her professional acting career began early when she played "Esther" in a Broadway production of Uncle Willie, which starred Norman Fell. Martel moved west to Hollywood, where she began an active career on television, starting with a guest appearance on Behind Closed Doors. She had also appeared on such television shows as The Twilight Zone, The Untouchables, Route 66, Perry Mason, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., I Dream of Jeannie, Here Come the Brides, Mannix, McCloud, The Rookies and Battlestar Galactica. She has also appeared in the films The Glass Cage, Chatterbox and Angels from Hell, as well as the television movies Indict and Convict and Eleanor, First Lady of the World, as well as several Columbo television movies, and the television soap The Young and the Restless. Her most famous roles, besides playing Tiger on Hogan's Heroes, was playing Consuelo in the The Outer Limits episode, Demon with a Glass Hand, considered by many as one of the best episode of the series; T'Pring, the female Vulcan who was suppose to marry Spock in the Star Trek Amok Time episode; and "Malvina" an evil witch who appeared in two-part "How Not to Lose Your Head to Henry VIII" episode on Bewitched. She also played the Russian female commandant in charge of the road crew that appears at the start of the 1978 horror film, Zoltan, Hound of Dracula, receiving top billing while appearing in only the first five minutes of the film. Her last onscreen role was in the film, What Do Women Want in 1996. Martel died of a heart attack on August 12, 2014 in Los Angeles, California.
