France Nuyen (birth name France Nguyen Van Nga) (born 31 July 1939) is a French actress. She was born in Marseille, Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. Her mother was French, her father Vietnamese.
During World War II, her mother and grandfather were persecuted by the Nazis for being Gypsies. Nuyen was raised in Marseille by a cousin she calls "an orchidaceae raiser who was the only person who gave a damn about me."
In 1955, while working as a seamstress, Nuyen was discovered on the beach by Life magazine photographer Philippe Halsman. She was featured on the cover of the October 6, 1958 issue of Life magazine.
She became a stage actress and played the lead in the 1958 theatrical production of The World of Suzie Wong, opposite William Shatner. She was originally cast to star in the film production, but was replaced by Nancy Kwan. She worked with Shatner again in an episode of Star Trek, playing Elaan of Troyius, and in an episode of Kung Fu. Her distinctive accent made her recognizable to television audiences.
In 1978, she guest starred with Peter Falk and Louis Jourdan in the Columbo episode "Murder Under Glass." In 1986, she joined the cast of St. Elsewhere as Dr. Paulette Kiem, remaining until the series ended in 1988.
Nuyen appeared in films including South Pacific (1958), Satan Never Sleeps (1962), A Girl Named Tamiko (with Laurence Harvey) (1962), Diamond Head (1963), Dimension 5 (1966), Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973), and The Joy Luck Club (1993). She continues to appear in films and recently appeared in The American Standards (2007).
Personal life
From 1963 to 1966, Nuyen was married to Dr. Thomas Gaspar Morell, a psychiatrist, by whom she has a daughter Fleur, who resides in Canada and works as a film makeup artist. She met her second husband, Robert Culp, while appearing on his show I Spy (in, for example, the episode "Magic Mirror"). They married in 1967 but divorced three years later. Nuyen and Culp were to appear as co-hosts of the second episode of the TV series Turn-On in 1969, but the show was cancelled after just one week.
In 1986, Nuyen earned a master's degree in clinical psychology and began a second career as a psychological counselor for abused women and children, and women in prison. She received a Woman of the Year award in 1989 for her psychological work.
In the Life magazine cover story on Nuyen, she is quoted as saying a proverb she also repeated in character as a spy in the I Spy episode "Magic Mirror": "I am Chinese. I am a stone. I go where I am kicked."

Susan Oliver (February 13, 1932 – May 10, 1990) was an American actress, television director and aviator.
Height: 5'5"
Early life and family
Susan Oliver was born Charlotte Gercke, the daughter of journalist George Gercke and astrology practitioner Ruth Hale Oliver, in New York City in 1932. Her parents divorced when she was still a child. In June 1949, Oliver joined her mother in Southern California, where Ruth Hale Oliver was in the process of becoming a well-known Hollywood astrologer. Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, she responded to a newspaper 'help-wanted' posting for a position as a hostess at a nearby dude ranch figuring she would enjoy a California Western-style experience. She was interviewed for the job by aviatrix, entrepreneur, Pancho Barnes, who owned the dude ranch known as the Happy Bottom Riding Club.
During her three month employment at the Happy Bottom Riding Club, she would often accompany Pancho Barnes into the San Fernando Valley and Santa Monica airports to pick up and deliver guests in the ranch's airplane. As a result, she became fascinated with aviation, and started taking flying lessons from Pancho Barnes. It was also during her time at the ranch that Oliver made a decision to embark upon a career as an actress and chose the stage name Susan Oliver.
By September 1949, using her new name, Oliver returned to the East Coast to begin drama studies at Swarthmore College, followed by professional training at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City. After working in summer stock, regional theater and in unbilled bits in daytime and primetime TV shows and commercials, she made her first major television appearance playing a supporting role in the July 31, 1955 episode of the live drama series Goodyear TV Playhouse, and quickly progressed to leading parts in other shows.
In 1957, Oliver did numerous TV shows and had a starring role in a movie. She began the year with an ingenue part, as the daughter of an 18th century Manhattan family, in her first Broadway play, Small War on Murray Hill, a Robert E. Sherwood comedy.[1] That same year, Oliver replaced Mary Ure as the female lead in the Broadway production of John Osborne's play Look Back in Anger.
The play's short run was immediately followed by larger roles in live TV plays on Kaiser Aluminum Hour, The United States Steel Hour and Matinee Theater.
Oliver then went to Hollywood, where she appeared in the November 14, 1957 episode of Climax!, one of the few live drama series based on the West Coast, as well as in a number of filmed shows, including one of the first episodes of NBC's Wagon Train, Father Knows Best, and Johnny Staccato.
In July 1957, Oliver was chosen for the title role in her first motion picture, The Green-Eyed Blonde, a low-budget independent melodrama released by Warner Brothers in December on the bottom half of a double bill.[2] It is the only motion picture on which Oliver received top billing.
In mid-1958, Oliver began rehearsals for a co-starring role in Patate, her second Broadway play.[3] Its seven-performance run was even shorter than that of Small War on Murray Hill but won Oliver a Theatre World Award for "Outstanding Breakout Performance." It was her last Broadway appearance.
Television and films
Oliver spent the remainder of her career in Hollywood, going on to play in more than 100 television shows. She appeared in episodes of Wagon Train, The Virginian, three episodes each of Adventures in Paradise, Twilight Zone, Route 66, Dr. Kildare, The Naked City, The Barbara Stanwyck Show, The Andy Griffith Show, Burke's Law, The Fugitive, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., I Spy, The Virginian, and The Name of the Game. Oliver also appeared in television films including Carter's Army. In 1966, Oliver had a continuing role as the tragic Ann Howard on ABC's prime-time serial Peyton Place.
Oliver also played the pivotal lead character opposite Commander Pike in the Star Trek pilot episode, "The Cage." Footage from this episode was later incorporated into a two part episode "The Menagerie."
From 1975 to 1976, Oliver as a regular cast member of the soap opera Days of our Lives and received her only Emmy nomination (for "Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actress") in the three-hour October 25, 1976 NBC made-for-TV movie, Amelia Earhart.
In additional to television roles, Oliver also had roles in several theatrical features including The Gene Krupa Story (1959), Butterfield 8 (1960), and The
Caretakers (1963).
Directing and later years
By the late 1970s, with acting assignments becoming scarcer, Oliver turned to directing. She was one of the original nineteen women admitted to the American Film Institute's Directing Workshop for Women (AFI DWW) "who, upon her untimely death, left a good chunk of funding for the DWW."[4] In 1977, twenty-eight years after her early experiences in Japan, she wrote and directed Cowboysan, her AFI DWW short film which presents the fantasy scenario of a Japanese actor and actress playing leads in an American western.
Oliver also directed two TV episodes, the October 25, 1982 installment of M*A*S*H and the December 4, 1983 entry of one of its sequel series, Trapper John, M.D.
In Oliver's last fully active year, she also appeared in the February 21, 1985, episode of Magnum, P.I., two episodes of Murder, She Wrote (March 31 and December 1), the February 12, 1987, episode of Simon & Simon, the January 10, 1988, episode of the NBC domestic drama Our House. She made her last onscreen appearance in the November 6, 1988, episode of the syndicated horror anthology Freddy's Nightmares.
Aviator and author
After surviving a 1966 plane crash which almost took her life, Oliver co-piloted her Piper Comanche to victory in 1970 in the 2760-mile transcontinental race known as the "Powder Puff Derby", which resulted in her being named Pilot of the Year.
In 1967, she became the fourth woman to fly a single-engined aircraft solo across the Atlantic Ocean and the second to do it from New York City. She was attempting to fly to Moscow, her odyssey ended in Denmark after the government of the Soviet Union denied her permission to enter its air space. Oliver wrote about her aviation exploits and philosophy of life in an autobiography published in 1983 as Odyssey: A Daring Transatlantic Journey.
Susan Oliver was a Buddhist and an expert on baseball. She never married and if you can find any published details about her sexuality you're better than Sherlock Holmes.
She was a rabid chain smoker and died from lung cancer on May 10, 1990, at the Motion Picture and Television Hospital in Calabasas, California.

Marianna Hill
Born: February 9, 1941, Santa Barbara, California.
She presently lives in the Kensington area of London.
Birth Name
Mariana Schwarzkopf
Height
5' 4"
A familiar character actress, Mariana Hill was the daughter of a building contractor, who moved his family around. In addition to living in her native Southern California, Hill has lived in Canada, Spain and Great Britain. As a result, she learned and became quite accomplished in doing different accents and dialects. Whether it's a French accent (from a guest appearance on "My Three Sons" (1960)) or German ("Hogan's Heroes" (1965)), Hill could be counted on to belt it out. She started acting while a teenager, apprenticing at the La Jolla (Calif.) Playhouse, and also studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City. Having beautiful, exotic looks certainly didn't hurt her either as she has played a Hawaiian girl, Irish lass and Greek beauty. In addition, she has been a model and was an acting coach and teacher at the Lee Strasberg Institute in London.
She has appeared in more than 70 films and television episodes. She co-starred in the Elvis Presley film Paradise, Hawaiian Style in 1966 as Lani Kaimana; the Clint Eastwood film High Plains Drifter as Callie Travers in 1973; and in The Godfather II as Deanna Dunn-Corleone.
One of Hill's many TV appearances was as Dr. Helen Noel in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "Dagger of the Mind".
She also guest-starred in the following television series: Death Valley Days, Bonanza, The High Chaparral, Gunsmoke, The Wild, Wild West, The F.B.I., Mission: Impossible, Quincy, S.W.A.T., Kung Fu, The Outer Limits, Harry O, My Three Sons, Hogan's Heroes, Love American Style, and Batman to name only a few.

Angelique Pettyjohn
Date of Birth
11 March 1943, Los Angeles, California, USA
Date of Death
14 February 1992, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA (cancer)
Birth Name
Dorothy Lee Perrins
Angelique Pettyjohn, who was born in Los Angeles on March 11, 1943, began modeling at a very young age. She also took advantage of her living in the locus of American Dreams by studying acting. After she developed into an adult, she appealed to casting agents due to her stunning physique and perfectly-formed 36C bust line. Pettyjohn made her movie debut at age 21, under the name "Angelique," in the low-budget sexploitation potboiler "The Love Rebellion" (1965) before tasting the big-time co-starring opposite "The King," Elvis Presley, in the forgettable "Clambake" (1967). It was her first appearance in an A-list movie, and it led to bits in other big-budget films.
However, her fame as a thespian lies with her work on the small screen, appearing in memorable roles on "Get Smart" and "Star Trek." In 1967, she appeared on the former in a recurring role as Charlie Watkins, imaginatively dubbed "Agent 38" to highlight her twin assets to the less-enlightened and obtuse in the audience. Charlie was a man disguised as a woman, and Angelique pulled it off. After testing for the role of Nova in "Planet of the Apes" (1967) (the role went to a producer's girlfriend), she won the role that made her an immortal amongst fans of TV sci-fi: Shahna in the "Star Trek" episode titled "The Gamesters of Triskelion."
The episode, which ran in the second season, featured her as an alien who helps Captain Kirk perform as a gladiator for the pleasure of a powerful clique of aliens-captors. Angelique's character had been bred by the aliens specifically to participate in the gladiatorial contests. Assigned to Kirk as an instructor, she prepares him for combat, but naturally falls for William Shatner's uniformed sexpot, who had wooed ladies of all hues, races and incarnations in his gallivants through the universe, boldly going where no man had ever gone before in terms of trail and miscegenation.
The episode is a favorite of "Star Trek" fans, and although Pettyjohn would later reap the benefits of the role by appearing in countless Star Trek fan conventions in the distant future, at the time, it lead exactly nowhere for her career. She continued in the bimbo rut in such cinematic horrors as "Hell's Belles" (1970), "The Curious Female" (1970), and "Bordello" (1974). Her career was strictly in movies churned out for drive-ins and the exploitation circuit.
In the early 1980s, she appeared as a stripper in Las Vegas but soon abandoned her avocation as an ecdysiast and softcore star for hardcore porn. "Titillation" (1982), "Stalag 69" (1982), and "Body Talk" (1982) featured Pettyjohn billed as either Angel St. John, Heaven St. John, or under her old moniker "Angelique."
The burgeoning Star Trek cult, bolstered by the series of movies released by Paramount beginning in 1979, allowed Pettyjohn to quickly ditch her hardcore career. She began working "Star Trek" conventions to earn her keep, selling posters of herself in and out of her sexy outfit from "The Gamesters of Triskelion." Her appearance on the circuit raised her profile in the movie industry. Indie film directors who knew of her earlier work in low-budget exploitation fare began hiring her for bit roles in their films. She appeared in such indie features as "Repo Man" (1984), "Biohazard" (1984), and "The Wizard of Speed and Time" (1989).
Eventually, Pettyjohn's fame grew and she began headlining sci-fi conventions as the main guest of honor. She overcame alcoholism and drug abuse to put her her life on an even keel, overcoming the low self-esteem that had led her to her porno appearances. She lived in a cabin in the backwoods of Virginia.
Pettyjohn appeared at her last science fiction convention in autumn 1989. Las Vegas had offered her a chance to cash-in on her cult notoriety as an exotic dancer, and she took it; she was 46 years old, but still beautiful and vivacious, doing what made her happy, performing for a live audience.
Angelique Pettyjohn died of cervical cancer at the age 48 on Valentine's Day, February 14, 1992.
I asked this a few days ago in another thread and got not response, so I thought I would address it here.
As most of you know, Kane recently had to withdraw from the final at Cactus, giving Rocky the victory:
http://www.irt-tour.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=255:the-cactus-salon-nyc-open-returns-&catid=3:newsflash
6-time #1-ranked World Racquetball Champion, Kane Waselenchuk ended his 137-match unbeaten streak spanning three years, one of the longest active winning streaks in professional sports history, when he forfeited due to injury during the first game of the Championship match against the #2 ranked player, Rocky Carson at the Cactus Salon NYC Pro/Am January 15, 2012 at Synergy Fitness North, Syosset, NY. . . .
Rocky Carson sprinted out of the gate to a 5-0 lead. Then, the unthinkable happened. Kane Waselenchuk stepped off of the court for an injury timeout. Waselenchuk later said that he had hurt his back last weekend at the Coast-to-Coast California Open, but had kept it under wraps. It's bothered him since, but he'd managed to loosen it up. Not today. To follow the proper timeout and injury timeout procedures, Waselenchuk was allowed one minute for a regular timeout plus a 15-minute injury timeout. Waselenchuk was off of the court for 16 minutes, which in reality felt like hours. Waselenchuk’s 136-match winning streak would be over if he didn’t step back on the court to play.
Waselenchuk should never be counted out, and he did not let himself go down with a score of zero. No donuts on Sundays. Waselenchuk got back into the clear-walled box and attempted his final stand. He managed to get on the board with 2 points before laying down his crown to Rocky Carson. No one wants to see a game end that way, but the most important thing is the health and well being of the players.
In the post-game interview, Carson said that he never wanted to win that way. Carson wanted to play through the tough times, referring to their numerous meetings for the championship title. However, unpredictability in life must be dealt with as best as possible. Waselenchuk was upset afterwards, but realistic. "Such is life." He'd felt a problem in the warm up when he "couldn'thit the ball with pace or do anything." He said he'd always try, but his back was telling him "no" while his mind said "yes." He was grateful for the people and support around him since without them, he'd "probably do something stupid and try to play." He was going to go home and get it fixed. He never got into racquetball to have a streak like he has; his overall goal is to be #1. If that means he'll have a winning streak, so be it. But, "losing once in awhile is okay, too."
He finished the interview by saying that he looks forwards to getting back in full swing at the next Tier 1, MonaVie Salt Lake City Pro-Am in Utah, February 1-4. "I don't have to tell anyone that I'll be back and 100%. I'll be ready for it. I have, like, three weeks off and will get it fixed. The old Kane will be back."
He will still remain the #1 player in the world and arguably the best player to ever play the game of racquetball.
He may have saved his streak if he had forfeited before stepping on the court. But a champion cannot give up. So it all ends, in a case of unfortunate events, at 137.
***************************************
I didn't see the match, and this story on the IRT website was all that I knew about what happened. It says that Kane had back trouble from a previous event, he got behind in a game in this final match again Rocky, and then he just walked off the court for an injury timeout with back trouble.
Here's the problem: As they are presently published, the rules of the IRT and the USAR specifically prohibit an injury timeout under such circumstances.
From the IRT rules:
Injury Timeouts
• If a player is injured during the course of a match as a result of contact, such as with the ball, racquet, wall or floor, an injury timeout will be awarded. While a player may call more than one timeout for the same injury or for additional injuries that occur during the match, a player has two seven and one half minute (7.5) timeouts per match for an injury during the entire match. If the injured player is not able to resume play after the two time outs are used, the match shall be awarded to his opponent.
From the USAR rules:
Rule 3.16 Timeouts
(b) Injury. If a player is injured during the course of a match because of contact, such as with the ball, racquet, wall, floor, or another player, an injury timeout will be awarded without regard to the player‟s use of regular timeouts. While a player may call more than one timeout for the same injury or for additional injuries that occur during the match, a player is not allowed more than a total of 15 minutes of rest for injury during the entire match. If the injured player is not able to resume play after total rest of 15 minutes, the match shall be awarded to the opponent.
1. Should any external bleeding occur, the referee must halt play as soon as the rally is over, charge an injury timeout to the person who is bleeding, and not allow the match to continue until the bleeding has stopped.
2. Muscle cramps and pulls, fatigue, and other ailments that are not caused by direct contact on the court will not be considered an injury. Injury time is also not allowed for pre-existing conditions.
So my questions are:
1. Is the story at the IRT website accurate? That is to say, is it true that Kane's injury at Cactus did not involve contact with the ball, the wall, the floor, a player, or a racquet?
2. If no such contact was involved, why was an injury timeout granted when the rules don't seem to allow for it?
3. What are the details of what happened and what factors were involved in allowing Kane to take those injury timeouts before he had to forfeit?

The July sales numbers are out and the Chevy Volt continues to electrify (get it?) the country. GM sold … 125 Volts last month!
Way back in March I made fun of the Volt for selling 281 units in February. Turns out, February was a good month. But wait, there’s more! GM says they’re going to increase production to 5,000 Volts per month in order to keep up with demand. You see, they claim that the reason the Volt isn’t selling is that they can’t keep enough cars on the lot. A GM spokeswoman recently claimed that they are “virtually sold out.” Which is virtually true. Mark Modica called around his local Chevy dealers and found plenty of Volts waiting for an environmentally conscious driver to bring them home.
All told, GM has sold close to 2,700 Volts. (Funny aside: There’s a Volt in my neighborhood and a Volt that parks in my garage at work. So I see almost 0.1 percent of all the Volts in America on a daily basis.) But hey, the EV future is just around the corner.
