Star Trek (1966-1969) ("The Galileo Seven" & "The Way To Eden") TV Actress Phyllis Douglas may bear a resemblance to Barbara Eden & another actor, actress or group from some movie, TV series, etc.
Connections:
- Michael Ansara played a Klingon in '68 Star Trek TOS episode "Day Of The Dove".
- Rock musician Elvis Presley can be linked to Barbara Eden via their acting together in western Flaming Star (1960).
- After an alien shape shifts into the Enterprise captain, two Kirks duel in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991). This scene may have been inspired by a similar one in '69 TOS episode "Whom Gods Destroy". Actress Yvonne Craig played a green alien muse in this. Craig was in 2 films with Elvis: It Happened At The World's Fair & Kissin' Cousins (this film features 2 Elvis Presleys)).
