star trek green dancing girl

Remembering the Green Girl from Star Trek

As all Star Trek fans know, Captain Kirk was quite a stud in the intergalactic romance department, and if there’s any alien woman we all remember, whether you’re a Trekkie or not, it’s the woman with the green skin.

And even though she was green, she was still very beautiful, and looking back at photos of her online, time hasn’t diminished her beauty at all.

So who was the green woman from Star Trek? If you’re a Trekkie we’re sure you know the answer, but if you’re a casual Trek fan, she was Susan Oliver, and she’s now the subject of a documentary, The Green Girl. Like a lot of documentaries these days, the director, George Pappy, is going to Kickstarter for help. 

As the Facebook page for the movie tells us, Susan Oliver was a prolific actress who worked regularly from the ‘50s to the ‘80s, and she was an original member of the AFI Directing Workshop For Women. Among her noted movie credits are Butterfield 8, and the Jerry Lewis comedy The Disorderly Orderly. Along with playing the green woman on Trek, Oliver also appeared in the pilot episode as Vina. (As Wikipedia reminds us, footage from this episode was later used in the two-parter The Menagerie).

In addition to her famous Star Trek appearance, Oliver starred in many of the popular shows of her time including Father Knows Best, Bonanza, Rawhide, The Twilight Zone and more. Ultimately Oliver appeared in over 120 acting roles, and she also directed television in the eighties.

In addition to her acting and directing accomplishments, Oliver was also an aviator who broke a number of records. According to the Green Lady Kickstarter pages, Oliver flew across the Atlantic Ocean in a single engine plane in 1967, and she was also one of the first women to pilot a Lear Jet. (Oliver died tragically of cancer at the age of 58 at the Motion Picture home in Woodland Hills, CA, where many in Hollywood wind up in their old age).

As this story was being finalized, it looked like Pappy reached his goal of raising $80,000 for the movie, and this could indeed be a really interesting story, especially considering it’s from a minor player in the phenomenon of Star Trek. 

Often times, the soldiers in an army can tell more interesting stories than the generals, like we saw in GoodFellas. It’s also nice to see that Susan Oliver is not going forgotten, and we hope we’ll be able to see her story fully retold in The Green Girl soon. Director Pappy hopes to have the film completed by June, with a final cut by October, and film festival submissions in late August.

Green Girl Gets a Voice: the True Life Story of the Actress, Director, and Pilot Behind Star Trek’s Slave Girl

When you think of iconic images of women from Star Trek: The Original Series , the green Orion dancing girl from the first pilot, “The Cage”, (and later the two-part episode “The Menagerie”) has got to be near the top of the list. The image of the woman dancing, painted all green with bright red lips, was unlike practically everything else on TV at the time. Go to a Star Trek convention today and you’re sure to find at least a couple of fans dressed up like an Orion slave girl ; that first “green girl” started it all. Serious Trek fans will know the Orion “animal woman” is only one incarnation of the character Vina, and she’s played by Susan Oliver, an actress who is the subject of a new documentary directed by George Pappy, edited by Amy Glickman Brown.

Pappy decided to make his film, The Green Girl , after casually deciding to look Oliver up on IMDB one day and realizing she was so much more than this one role, iconic as it was. “I found an eight or nine-page resume. And I saw she had directed a M*A*S*H and Trapper John, M.D. Thirty years ago, women were not directing TV; they’re barely doing it now,” Pappy said at a screening in Las Vegas this week. And yet, people today don’t seem to know much about this groundbreaking woman.

The Green Girl  runs at quite a clip through Oliver’s TV and film resume, which is extensive, to say the least. Film historians, critics, and her fellow actors remember her as incredibly versatile, able to play anything from a vamp to a junkie, to a person with split personalities, to a “good girl.” And, of course, a green girl.

“There aren’t too many shows you can find from the late 50s to the early 70s that she wasn’t in at some point,” said Broadcast Historian Mark Topaz. For example, Oliver appeared as different characters in multiple episodes of Route 66 , Rawhide , Wagon Train , Dr. Kildare , and The Virginian . Some weeks you could open the TV guide and find her in three different roles in three different shows. Watching snippets from her TV roles, as well as films she appeared in like Butterfield 8  (with Elizabeth Taylor), you can see what an incredible range she had.

But there were even more remarkable things about Oliver, including the fact that, after a near plane crash, she decided to become a pilot, and ended up flying solo over the North Atlantic, under very treacherous conditions. She won five world records in flying light planes and was also one of the first women to fly a Learjet.

So how is it that Susan Oliver, who played opposite so many big name stars, who directed for TV in the 1980s, who conquered her fear of flying and became a pilot, isn’t remembered as a big success, if she’s remembered at all?

Sadly, the cutthroat nature of show business and sexism in the media seem to have been major factors. On her solo Atlantic flight, she was forced to land in Denmark instead of going all the way to Moscow, her goal, because the Russian government wouldn’t grant her the airspace. She returned to the States to reporters that called her flight a “failure” and seemed more interested in her legs than her piloting skills. “Did they ever ask Lindbergh to bear his biceps?” Oliver asked in her autobiography, quoted extensively in voice-overs during the film.

As well, Oliver had turned to directing partly because she hit an age where there were very few female roles available, and partly out of a frustration with the limited nature of the roles there were. As Sociologist Kerry Ferris says in the film: “There just weren’t other roles…for middle-aged women that she could play” – she played college students well into her thirties and there didn’t seem to be anything for an age between “college student” and “grandma” in Hollywood. Interviews with actresses like Lee Meriweather (Catwoman in the 1966 Batman film) and Celeste Yarnall ( Star Trek: TOS ) reinforce the challenges of the era for actresses.

Friend and fellow actor Gary Conway remembers, “For a woman to direct a film would be like a woman playing professional football.” When Pappy asks the other male actors he interviews if they’d ever worked with a female director, most said no.

On her second directing job, on Trapper John, M.D. , the crew resisted her authority. “I suspect that our crew just wasn’t ready for a female director at that time,” said Charles Siebert, one of the show’s stars. Without an enthusiastic reference from them, it was going to be a long shot for Oliver to get any more directing jobs. Friends and family interviewed for the film report she went downhill from there, becoming demoralized and not taking as much care with her health. In her autobiography, published in 1983, Oliver actually says, “Life has not worked out happily ever after for me.”

Oliver’s last acting job was in Freddy’s Nightmares in 1988. In the following year, she was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. She died in 1990 at the age of 58. The final scene in The Green Girl is the audio recording of the last voice mail message she left herself on the day she died, in which she says goodbye.

Pappy said that as he found out more about Oliver, “I became more and more outraged…[Her story] shows what a B.S. deal it was for women who wanted to step outside traditional roles…I just felt like someone owes her this.”

The Green Girl is available on DVD and is expected to be available on demand in the fall.

Rare Star Trek photos show green Orion slavegirls like you've never seen them

The original Star Trek pilot, "The Cage," included a lot more of the scenes where Vina is turned into a green Orion slavegirl who dances for Captain Pike — but they were cut because they were too saucy for prime time television. Now, some rare Trek behind-the-scenes pictures include a brand new look at the unshown parts of Vina's dance sequence.

Including a part where the poor slavegirl gets whipped. Turns out being an Orion slavegirl isn't all dancing and quoting poetry .

Tom Redlaw, aka Bird of the Galaxy , has collected tons and tons of behind-the-scenes Star Trek images and rare frames from the show. These were sold as 35 mm film cells at conventions and via mail order through Lincoln Enterprises, a company run by Gene Roddenberry and his wife, Majel Barrett. And now, Redlaw has been scanning and restoring these rare images and posting them on his Flickr page.

Talking to What Culture , Redlaw explains:

In the early 1970s the first Star Trek conventions happened in New York. Those, plus the original Lincoln Enterprises catalogs (you received them when you wrote to Gene Rodenberry or NBC executives) were what started me buying these. Recall, there were no VCRs, DVDs, internet. So being able to project these little slides was as close to on demand Trek images as you could get in those days. And, it was a glorious exercise trying to find your favorites. By 1975 I think I had around 2000 of these things, I guess that was the collection and really what I stopped at for 30 years. Then, one day I bought a slide and negative scanner to restore some of my own 35mm photography and just to test it out I put a scratched and red faded film clip of the Doomsday Machine into it, and I was astounded at the result. A little bit of photoshop work later and I was hooked.

Below are some of our favorite images from Redlaw's collection — dozens more are available on his Flickr page.

Diora Baird Talks About Her Role as An Orion in Star Trek

| September 20, 2008 | By: TrekMovie.com Staff 131 comments so far

According to Baird she plays the ‘green girl’ in the new Star Trek movie, but she doesn’t seem exactly clear on what that means.

Maxim: So you’re an alien? Baird: Um, I would assume so—unless I was born with a skin disease. In the original series, there were these infamous green women that Captain Kirk would hit on, and so without giving too much away, I’m one of those green girls.

So she may not be ready for a Trek trivia contest, but Baird has a couple dozen film and TV credits already, including Wedding Crashers , Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and guest spots on Shark and The Loop . And it appears she has what it takes to play an alluring Orion. Baird can be seen now in the Dane Cook comedy My Best Friend’s Girl, which opened this weekend.

More from Baird, including photos at Maxim .

Maxim ranks Baird at #64 in their ‘Hot 100’ list, here is a video for that…

More Baird: Wikipedia Page   |  IMDB Profile | Fansite .

She’ll do.

It’s green…

I was just thinking the same thing. So, this is, what, at least two Orion women?

Feh, so what else is new. How about a pic of the “E”, or a trailer date?

When are they going to have some women with meat on their bones? I’m not trying to be disrespectful, but there are many women with some ‘substance’ that would make an excellent Orion woman, com officer, etc. Guess I don’t live in the real world, though :-\

Oh, the Orions are just going to be window dressing anyway. How much are they really going to have to do with the story? My guess is, not much. They won’t be catalysts for the plot like they were in ENT: ‘Bound’.

#4: You’re kidding, right?

I know I’m a geek for saying this, but I’d rather see the new bridge, or the Enterprise… chicks like this are a dime a dozen

Lame…

This is only interesting for guys married to their hands…

#10 Totally unneeded comment.

Diora Baird’s an up-and-comer, so I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets at least a couple of lines. Good work, J.J.

She-Hulk fans rejoice!

#11 Agreed.

#13 ‘She-Hulk’. Is that movie in the works now, too?

The episodes with T’Pol half naked and the Orions in Enterprise were always disappointing to me. The only real relationship I had with my dad growing up was our common interest in Star Trek (Original Series) and unfortunately, with the some of the overly sexualized episodes of Enterprise, I had to be careful what I let my kids see and not see.

My best memories were going to see the Star Trek movies with my parents. I remember being 6 or 7 and seeing The Search for Spock and so on. I was hoping to have a similar memory built with my oldest daughter who’ll be 9 next year. If as is typical, the movie versions are even more sexualized (and I hope there is no nudity) then the Enterprise versions, then there is no way I can take my kids or build this memory with them.

It’s obviously way too late now for JJ Abrams to change anything now. He’s got his vision and passion for what he wants to show but I sure could have wished he took this into consideration.

You guys amaze me. No matter what new news comes out about the movie, you are STILL not satisfied. “give me the E” “Give me the trailer” Is that all you guys know how to say? Jeez… give it a rest.

Anthony.. I am so happy you delete the “First” comments.. can you do the same for the “Give us a trailer” comments too? It really is getting annoying. There in not one thread that doesn’t have at least 15 comments that say “give me a trailer”.

you’ll get a trailer when they are ready. the movie isn’t til may. give it rest already.

So this isn’t the ground breaking interview you wanted from one of the main cast.. so what. You aren’t going to hear anything new.. you aren’t going to hear them slip up and say something you haven’t heard. They are under hush orders. Be lucky you are getting the minor and bit actors saying something.

Oh man, I forgot all about That, what are you all Spazin’ about Now? What, too hot For Trek?? Oh No!!

She’s Green!! for cryin’ out loud. Hell Yeah!!

Um, not to also mention: SHE WAS A PLAYMATE! Anyways She’ll do fine as an Orion Woman, MORE than fine. But yeah, WHEN will whe get to see the Enterprise or Bridge?

In the 90s & early 2000s I always complained about the women characters in catsuits, never stopping to remember Gene Roddenberry’s penchant for nearly-naked women in TOS. It was only in the earliest movies that Trek moved away from the scantily clad women. But then, the principals were all getting older and Uhura’s fan dance in Trek V was about 15 years too late to be very arousing, alas.

She fits CANON very well. Nice casting JJ.

Jim Kirk andf two Orion females…that sounds about right. :D

Time for me to take up golf! :-)

Looks cool.

When I was told growing up to, “eat your greens!”………..

……………….I should have listened more carefully!

Is she related to Stuart Baird by any chance?

I’d hit *that* with an inverse tachyon beam.

She’ll make the perfect orion slave girl. That could also be the nerdiest pick up line ever.

#11 “#10 Totally unneeded comment”

Aren’t most comments here really unneeded. Interesting occasionally … but unneeded.

So my unneeded comment of the day is “she’s hot!” (Not very interesting either, I know)

Anthony, I would understand why you would delete some of our posts on here, but you gotta admit, SHES HOT! Im betting this will have fans come and see the movie just for her, and it will hopefully boost ratings for the movie. Anyways… enough rambling. Im tired and im gonna dream about her tonight. :))

She’s Treks She-Hulk!

So, in the 23rd century, busty is in? I think I’m gonna like this century.

To my surprise actually, my first response at these news were… “YEAH!!”.

to quote a great captain “oh my!”

#5 “When are they going to have some women with meat on their bones?”

Agreed. If orion slaves are meant to please their masters with erotic/exotic dances, we know that in our real world those things work better with curves. I’ve never seen a skinny belly dancer.

Ok. admit she is hot and sexy. can’t wait to see her as an orion. Should be good.

She has lots of meat where it counts.

Wouldn’t mind discussing the Big Bang theory with her..! And she’s got a fantastic set of tachyons. I bet she’d be impressed with a 10 inch refractor though.

Anyone seen her “other” pictures :P

Not yet! I’m really tee-ed off cos I’m at work.

JJ knows his stuff, all right! Gorgeous women are vital to anything properly based on Star Trek (TOS)!

weee, hope the movie doesn’t get over-sexed (: I mean: Zoë Saldana might be the hottest choice for young Uhura possible. We have sexy mini-skirts (which of course mainly add some 60’s-touch). We have Rachel Nichols AND now theres Ms Baird… well, at least there won’t be any female Borg drones

Well, it should boost ticket sales to the college frat boy demographic…

“Star Trek XI: Orion Girls Gone Wild!” ;)

“So she may not be ready for a Trek trivia contest, but perhaps she’d make a good Vice Presidential candidate.”

Diora Baird as Orion Slave Girl — excellent casting.

I agree with Vince Vaughn! Well proportioned indeed!!

#23 Not even close to Firt dude!

#26 She seems to know as much about Trek as Stuart Baird so yeah they might be related!

I just hope there also will appear some women who are not just toys for the males.

in alias and Lost JJ always created emancipated, strong women, I hope we will have some of those in STXI, too.

I am really sick of those girls who never have seen any actor school, but appear in all the movies just because they look so hot.

” there were these infamous green women that Captain Kirk would hit on”

umm…..close enough. Let’s see what you look like in the movie baby?

me (47) I think there’ll be plenty of strong female roles in this film. After all, it’s a JJ Abrams film. But sex was always a very important part of Star Trek (TOS) and this film is clearly reflecting that. After seeing Diora Baird in those clothes, I’s almost be tempted to take up golf!

Trouble Keeping Her Green: Creating the Orions

The Orions were among the first alien species introduced in Star Trek . A slave girl, or rather the illusion of one, was played by Susan Oliver in the ill-fated pilot episode “The Cage”.

The “green girl” was the creation of Fred Phillips, who also made Spock’s Vulcan look for The Original Series . Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry recalled in The Making of Star Trek how Phillips grew increasingly frustrated as three consecutive makeup screen tests, in which Roddenberry’s future wife Majel Barrett had been painted green, came back negative.

Now, Fred Phillips is an exceptionally fine makeup artist and recognized as a top pro in the business. He did a thorough job with the makeup and was quite satisfied with the results. Imagine everyone’s surprise, upon viewing the developed film the next day, to find the actress’ face just as normally pink skinned as ever! There was no trace of green.

Gene’s orders to Fred Phillips: “Paint her greener!” The following day, the test film again showed her as pink-skinned as ever. Even Fred was dumbfounded.

We did this three days in a row. We had her so green you couldn’t believe it and she kept coming back pink! Finally we figured out what was happening. The technician over at the film lab would receive the film every day and run it through the development solution. As the image formed on the film, he kept saying to himself, “My God, this woman is green!” And so he kept correcting the film developing process in order to turn her back to normal skin color again!

Whitfield and Roddenberry shared another amusing anecdote about the shooting:

The accomplished actress Susan Oliver later played the part of the alien woman in the pilot and was almost totally covered with green body makeup. During filming she became very tired and a doctor was called in to give her a vitamin B shot. The doctor arrived, but no one bothered to tell him what his patient looked like. He went over to Susan’s dressing room, knocked, the door swung wide and suddenly he was confronted with an all green woman! He was so flustered that it took him almost 5 minutes just to find a spot to administer the shot.

The Season 2 episode “Journey to Babel” featured another Orion, although he was disguised as an Andorian. It was not until “Whom Gods Destroy” that a genuine Orion female appeared on screen. The first Orion male appeared in “The Pirates of Orion” of The Animated Series .

While references were made the “Orion Syndicate,” a criminal organization, throughout Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , it wasn’t until the fourth and final season of Star Trek: Enterprise that the Orions reappeared. But they reappeared in plenty then.

I believe you’ve mistaken Phillips with John Chambers, who was the head makeup artist on Planet of the Apes , and who worked with him on The Outer Limits and on “The Cage” (designing Spock’s ears). Phillips wouldn’t have time to work on POTA anyways, as it was shot simultaneously with the second season of Star Trek .

Documentary about star trek’s original orion slave girl, susan oliver, being developed.

A new Star Trek-centric feature-length documentary, you may not be aware of, is currently in development. The focus of the film isn’t the phenomenon of Star Trek franchise or its creator Gene Roddenberry — the documentary, The Green Girl , looks at the career of the actress and the original Orion slave girl (from the episode “The Cage”), Susan Oliver.

Directed and produced by George Pappy, the film has been in development for over two years and according to the Indiegogo page, includes more than 40 interviews with Oliver’s friends, family and co-stars — including Lee Meriwether, David Hedison, Roy Thinnes, Kathleen Nolan, Nancy Malone, Gary Conway, Monte Markham, Celeste Yarnall, Peter Mark Richman and Rosey Grier.

In order to complete the film, Pappy is asking fans to contribute to the project’s Indiegogo campaign, which runs until November 30th.

According to a press release, the finished film is slated for release in February 2014.

Check out the teaser trailer, below.

'Star Trek's original Green Girl the subject of Kickstarter documentary

At first mention, today’s pop-culture connoisseurs might not recognize the name Susan Oliver, the Peyton Place actress who was a guest-star staple on popular primetime television in the 1960s and ’70s. But if you’re an old-school Star Trek fan, you most definitely remember her work from the show’s first — ultimately rejected — pilot episode, in which she played the original Green Girl, the seductive emerald-skinned Orion who was the rhythmic, writhing incarnation of Capt. Pike’s deepest fantasy. (See video below.) She made quite an impression on Pike and millions of adolescent boys who watched the series, which later incorporated her performance into the show’s end credits after it was recycled into a subsequent episode . In fact, when J.J. Abrams rebooted the franchise in 2009, Chris Pine’s Kirk had a one-nighter with a similarly sexy Orion, a nostalgic nod to Oliver’s original character.

But there was much more to Oliver than her brief fling with Star Trek , and an independent filmmaker is raising money on Kickstarter to complete a documentary about her life — titled, of course, The Green Girl . George Pappy became intrigued by Oliver after re-watching her Star Trek cameo, but he quickly became more impressed by her achievements as a pioneer female director and record-setting pilot. In addition to working opposite Elizabeth Taylor (in Butterfield 8 ), Steve McQueen, and Clint Eastwood, Oliver directed an episode of M*A*S*H and Trapper John, MD at a time in the early 1980s when women behind the camera were practically unheard of. In 1967, she flew a single-engine plane across the Atlantic alone. “She’s thought of as just another pretty face, but she really was so much more than that,” said Pappy, in his Kickstarter appeal. “If nothing else, I think the universe kind of owes her a little recognition and remembrance.”

Pappy has already conducted several interviews with several of Oliver’s contemporaries, but he’s still well short of his $80,000 goal with 17 days to go. Won’t you give the guy some Green?

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Enterprise's Orion Slave Girls

StarTrek.com wracked our brains recently, trying to come up with a fun way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day – and then it hit us. Let’s catch up with everyone’s favorite green beauties, the Orion Slave Girls. And so we reached out to Menina Fortunato, Crystal Allen and Cyia Batten, who, in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode “ Bound ” so memorably portrayed Maras, D’Nesh and Navaar, respectively. The timing for this group chat was perfect, as the ladies are will make a rare joint appearance at the Hollywood Show, an autograph event to be held April 8-10 at the Westin Los Angeles Airport Hotel in Los Angeles; go to www.thehollywoodshow.com for details.

All three are actresses, models and dancers with a diverse range of credits to their name. Fortunato appeared in episodes of MADtv and in the film Poseidon , and she served as Jennifer Garner’s stunt double in an episode of Alias . She’s also a mom, a frequent guest judge for dance events, and is producing films and videos. Allen starred in the film sequels Anaconda 3 and 4 , the Trek fan film Of Gods and Men , and has guested on such series as Prison Break, The Sopranos, Sex in the City and Haven , and will soon be seen in the upcoming series Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders . Batten was a member of The Pussycat Dolls, has her own menswear line, is also a mom, and has appeared in such films and shows as Crossing Jordan, Charlie Wilson's War, CSI: Miami, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip . Trek fans will recall that she also guest starred on Deep Space Nine (Ziyal in “ Indiscretion ” and “ Return to Grace ”) and Voyager (Irina in “ Drive ”).

Below is part one of our two-part conversation. Visit StarTrek.com again tomorrow to read part two. Let’s start with the present. What you each of you working on these days in terms of acting, producing, dancing, choreography and/or music, etc.?

Batten: I have been out of the business for seven years. I am in start-ups now. Currently, I'm creative director of a menswear company, AugustFiorin.com . I am also a brand strategist, working with creative start-ups who need support getting off the ground. I will always dance for fun and exercise. As for acting, I left when my son was born because of the hours and not wanting to be away from him for so long. I miss it sometimes and get offers to do things, but I find myself so intellectually and creatively stimulated by the start-up world that I have chosen to stick with this space. I actually just returned from a two week humanitarian trip to work with refugees along the Balkan Route with my charity Humanity for Change . And my menswear company has me in Europe at least five times a year, so this crisis touched me deeply. Actually, Menina and Crystal, you’re both in Unbelievable!!!!! How was that experience, since it was like a sci-fi/ Trek convention come to life?

Allen: Working on Unbelievable!!!!!! was really fun, except we had to have our faces green and our hands green. That wasn't great, but at least we didn't have full-body green!

The three of you will be together at The Hollywood Show. Our understanding is it’s your first joint appearance. How eager are you to do that, to sit and hang out and meet the fans and pose for pics together? Allen: I’m really excited to hang out with Menina and Cyia together. It always makes a difference when all three girls are together. It’s more fun for the fans and more fun for us. We're like the Orion sisters reunited. And the fans love it. I've never met such loyal fans in my life. I’m so grateful.

Batten: It's always wonderful meeting the fans. They're truly the most loyal fans in the world. And I thrilled to be able to do it with the girls. I'm looking forward to seeing them.

Fortunato: Yes, this is our first joint appearance. I’m excited that we finally are able to make it happen. We’ve not been together since the filming of the episode in 2005, so this is a big deal. I know the fans wanted this for a long time, so I hope we don’t disappoint. I am really looking forward to meeting the fans and taking photos together. With conventions in general, what’s the pleasure you take in meeting the fans face to face, and hearing their appreciation of you and your work? Fortunato: I didn’t know what to expect when I made my first convention appearance (in Las Vegas in 2005). I was blown away by the loyalty and knowledge of the fans. They attend these events annually and know more about our characters than we do. Some of them were even dressed in costumes, even as Orion slaves painted in green. Star Trek fans are the most loyal fans. I haven’t done a convention since 2008, so it’s been a while for me and I’m looking forward to having some fun again.

Batten: Like I said, the Star Trek fans are the most loyal and lovely there are. It's a pleasure to be able to see their joy and to shake their hands or give them a hug of gratitude for their support.

Let’s talk Trek . First, how well did each of you know Star Trek before getting involved with the show?

Batten: I was familiar with it, but I was never a TV watcher growing up. I was a ballerina from a young age, so that was all I did in my free time!

Allen: When I first booked “Bound” I had no idea what I was in for. I had only watched a couple of the original Star Trek as a kid.

Fortunato: I didn’t know much about Enterprise prior to working on the show. However, I used to watch The Next Generation as a kid. My grandfather was a diehard Trekkie of The Original Series . If he were still alive, he would’ve been so proud of me. How did each of you land your respective role in “Bound”? Allen: I auditioned for the role of D'Nesh, the Orion who seduces the engineer. I think it also had to do with all three of us had dance training. I had a blast dancing. It was just very uncomfortable with the green paint. I have to say I was over it when we were done with the seventh day of shooting being green!

Fortunato: I got the role through an acting audition. Even though my role was centered around dance, they didn’t even see me dance. I assume they trusted my dance ability from my resume.

Batten: I knew the Star Trek people from my history on the show. I can't remember if it was an offer or not, but if not, I would have gone straight to the producers to read for it. They didn't really know I was a dancer and I remember the choreographer on day one of rehearsals being very nervous that he had an "actor" to make look like a dancer. It was rather satisfying to surprise him. Once you learned you’d be playing Orion slave girls, did you go check out the various Trek episodes with the Orions? What did you think of the episodes? Fortunato: I had no prior knowledge of the Orion Slave Girls at the time. The director showed us a photo of Bobbie Sue Luther to give us an idea of the look of the character. I did watch some of the old videos of the previous Orions for inspiration.

Batten: I didn't have time as I was shooting a film right up until we began rehearsing and shooting.

Allen: Yes, I actually watched the green girls in the original Star Trek to get a feel for how we were supposed to move. They were all seductive and snake-like. It was beautiful choreography.

Review by brifilms ★★★½

I watched this in honor of Susan Oliver’s birthday, never having heard of her before seeing it was her birthday and I saw this documentary about her and I was like, eh why not.

It was a great portrait of her life, being in every tv show but never making it in film and I found all the stories her friends and family told about her really interesting. I really liked the green girl overall but what keeps it at a lower score is the pretty horrible pacing, it felt like 2 and a half hours when it was only 1 and a half. Still definitely worth a watch though.

Review by Jim Dooley ★★★★

THE GREEN GIRL immediately drew my attention when I learned it was a biography of Susan Oliver.  The title is in reference to her most famous television show appearance as Vina who, in one of her incarnations, was a green skinned dancer in the two-part “Star Trek” episode in the 60’s that was made from the pilot.  If you watched much of that original series, you undoubtedly saw her image even if you didn’t see the two episodes as it was featured behind the ending Desilu end title.     That was not the first time that she attracted my attention.  I first saw her in a memorable episode of “The Twilight Zone” with Roddy McDowall in “People Are Alike…

"The Green Girl" directed George A. Pappy Jr (2014) Featuring Susan Oliver, Lee Meriwether, David Hedison, Nancy Malone, Kathleen Nolan, Roy Thinnes, Gary Conway, Peter Mark Richman --------------------------------------------------- Documentary on the life and career of character actor Susan Oliver (1932-1990), commonly remembered in pop culture from her appearance in the original Star Trek pilot as "Vina," the first of several green "Orion slave girls" to appear on the series.

Oliver is little remembered today aside from that, but she made hundreds of guest appearances on nearly every significant TV show from the late 50s into the 1980s.

If you've watched any old TV from that era, you'll probably recognize her from something. She was also a pioneering female pilot who…

Review by Marty McKee ★★★½

Susan Oliver was a busy blond, blue-eyed actress, primarily in the 1960s and 1970s, best known as the tragic Vina in “The Cage,” the original STAR TREK pilot that was recycled as the two-part first-season episode “The Menagerie.” Oliver’s scene as a green-skinned Orion dancing girl (part of a fantasy sequence intended to entrance Jeffrey Hunter’s Captain Pike) left such a mark that a still from it appeared in STAR TREK’s closing credits for the rest of the season. Vina also inspired the title of THE GREEN GIRL, a documentary about Oliver directed by George A. Pappy Jr. (FEW OPTIONS). Oliver, who died much too young at age 58 of cancer in 1990, was, of course, more than “the green…

Review by Tigerheart ★★★★

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A lovely documentary about a very versatile, beautiful and talented actress who didn’t quite get the breaks in Hollywood that she deserved. 

If you’ve seen either the Star Trek TOS original pilot or the episode called ‘The Menagerie’ then you might recall the character Vina, played by Susan Oliver. The title of the film relates to her appearance in part of these episodes, plastered in green makeup and blonde locks hidden under a black wig while she dances extremely seductively. Moreover, if you’ve seen many of the top TV shows of the 60s then you’ve probably seen Susan Oliver at some point. (My first proper sighting of her was in a first season episode of The Man from Uncle , The Bow-Wow Affair,…

Review by Tallulah Belle ★★★★

Documentary. As a child of the 70s, Susan Oliver is an over familiar figure from reruns of the 50s-60s of just about any show you can think of...(Bonanza, Star Trek, etc.) The beautiful blonde with acting chops who somehow never had her own series but tons of coveted guest star roles normally reserved for huge stars. What gives? This film explores Oliver's career and life through snippets from her friends and family and her own voice. it is well done and a sneak peek into the industry and creative process, as well as hitting on Oliver's personal life and choices. The segment on aviation was a little too long for me but maybe that was just me. Otherwise, it is next day and I find myself thinking about the Green Girl with her haunting eyes and wondering...

Review by joelnox ★★★★

Wonderful documentary of the very talented but little remembered actress Susan Oliver.

Review by DuffyTweedy ★★★½

This is a good documentary about an amazing life. Susan Oliver was an overnight hot property who walked away from a lucrative contract with Warner Brothers because she was getting bad roles. She took a trip to Europe, and Gene Kelly got her a seat on a supposedly full return flight with him. The plane almost crashed, and Susan swears that as the plane lost thousands of feet of altitude she thought, "Not like this! The headlines will be, Gene Kelly Dies in Plane Crash! On the backpage there'll be, in small print, Also Killed, Susan Oliver."

She conquered her understandable subsequent fear of flying and went on to be a pioneering aviatrix--even after her instructor actually crashed their plane.…

Review by Bill Arceneaux ★★★★

Not everything that shines is gold. Hollywood, tinsel town, was where many a young person set out to conquer. On the surface, it appeared to be as magical as Disneyland. Underneath, it’s as aggressive and monstrous as Walt Disney. To make it here, you play by a certain set of rules. Individualism is allowed on a case by case basis only.

Susan Oliver must not have gotten the memo early on.

The career spanning documentary The Green Girl, through interviews with friends, family and colleagues, tells the impressions and expressions of versatile TV and film actress Susan Oliver. It’s suggested in the opening that she is most known — especially by Trekkies — as “the green girl” in an episode of Star Trek: The…

Review by SE Frost ★★★

Far too much of the running time is devoted to a sampling of Susan Oliver's vast number of guest appearances, but there's still a fair bit of coverage of her decline and sad pre-mature end.

Review by Holden007 ★★★★½

This documentary about the life and career of actress Susan Oliver is fantastic. Susan's movie debut was THE GIRL WITH GREEN EYES which was shot in black and white. Susan had blue eyes but since it was black and white it did not matter. She was under contract with Warner Brothers and she was a rising star but when she rejected the idea of appearing in the film UP PERISCOPE with James Garner. Susan rejected it, not because of Garner, but because of the quality of the script and the part she had. She was so upset with it she said Jack Warner should shove it up his periscope. Needless to say, Warner, who was even hated by his own…
