Sunday Globe Special: So Long, Sarah

No time is a good time for goodbyes....

"Sarah Marshall, 80; ‘Star Trek’ actress" by Daniel E. Slotnik |  New York Times, January 26, 2014

NEW YORK — Sarah Marshall, an actress who was born into show business and worked on Broadway, in film, and on television with a galaxy of big names, perhaps most memorably in episodes of “The Twilight Zone” and “Star Trek,” died of cancer Jan. 18 at her home in Los Angeles. She was 80....

She was also a mainstay on television, appearing on shows from “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” to “Cheers.”

In 1962 she played a woman whose daughter vanishes into the fourth dimension in “The Twilight Zone” episode “Little Girl Lost,” and in 1967 she played a former love interest of William Shatner’s Captain James T. Kirk in the “Star Trek” episode “The Deadly Years.”

I just saw the Twilight Zone episode on Syfy marathon, and "The Deadly Years" is the episode when she fell for an aging Captain Kirk. At this stage of my life that makes me hot!

She will live forever thanks to film and videotape.
