"The Green Girl" refers to a new documentary about actress Susan Oliver (1932-1990), who played the very first green Orion slave girl in the very first STAR TREK pilot.
But, as the documentary preview will show, she was also a director and a serious aviatrix. (She flew solo from the US to Moscow.) I thought one of the challenges with Oliver, who was on a lot of TV shows (THE UNTOUCHABLES, BONANZA, WAGON TRAIN, THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW to name a few), was that she never starred in a TV series. Popular guest stars in TV shows usually got a TV series. Look at Elizabeth Montgomery.
But I didn't know that she had turned down TV series contracts, not wanting to be tied down for seven years, as was the usual length of a series commitment.
Take a look at the preview.
