    Arlene Martel: Star Trek Actress Passes

    She played the Vulcan Princess in the episode "Amok Time" where Spock has the duel with Kirk on Vulcan.

    Arlene Martel, who Star Trek fans will remember for playing Spock’s Vulcan bride, T’Pring in “Amok Time,” died on Tuesday, August 12, 2014. She was 78. Martel’s friend Marc Cushman, author of These Are The Voyages, confirmed the news via the book’s Facebook page. The post notes that Martel recently suffered a heart attack.


    Martel played the prospective bride of Leonard Nimoy’s Mr. Spock in the only episode set on the character’s home planet of Vulcan. “I was just so happy to be working and playing a part that was so challenging in terms of what I had done before,” Martel said in Tom Lisanti’s 2003 book Drive-in Dream Girls: A Galaxy of B-Movie Starlets of the Sixties. “I had no idea it would continue to this day. Fans purchase my Star Trek photos at conventions, where I sign autographs. I had no idea that T’Pring would be so memorable to people.”


    Her other television credits included Twilight Zone, Bewitched and Hogan’s Heroes, while in films she acted in Hong Kong, The Glass Cage and in Angels From Hell.

    I can see why she was chosen for the role—she looked very exotic even without the makeup.

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Yeah, but she never called me back.

    It will work out okay—you can pick up Emma Stone on the rebound from IZE.

    With my luck, I probably tried to woo her while she had the colds.

    No, you're thinking of my ex-wife.
