Paramount Pictures actress Laurel Goodwin has passed away at the age of 79, her family revealed in an obituary.
Goodwin, who has worked with the likes of Elvis Presley and Jackie Gleason, died on February 25 in Cathedral City, California.
'If she knew you, you quickly became family,' read a line from her obit.
Laurel was born in 1942 in Wichita, Kansas and signed a contract with Paramount when she was just 19 years old.
She would go on to co-star with Elvis Presley in the 1962 musical comedy Girls! Girls! Girls! as Laurel Dodge.
In the flick, Laurel finds herself the object of affection of both Elvis and actor Jeremy Slate.
Following Girls! Girls! Girls!, in 1963, Laurel worked with Jackie Gleason and Glynis Johns in Papa's Delicate Condition.

“That’s akin to asking if Wings was Paul McCarnetney first band.”
A few years back, I worked with some young folks who only knew Paul McCartney from some rap video he appeared in recently.
Uh, no
But thanks for playing
“...a wide variety of alien women.”
A really wide variety. In one of the movies, he had a tryist with a woman on a prison planet and later that alien helped them escape as a man. Wasn’t that a surprise.

Haha - I weekly “introduce” my daughter to a band (or “solo” artist) from the 60’s - 80’s. Half the time she already knows of them.
Last weekend was Al Stewart and “Roads To Moscow”, in the car, coming back from church. THAT was new to her. Great, great tune, good system in car, sounded impressive, stunning presentation. She was “wow...”.
Its was “Green Girls! Girls! Girls!”
I think it was Tango
Tango (you old devil, you). :-)
Hard to believe that she was the last from “The Cage.” RIP.
Perhaps but one slight flaw. Gene Roddenberry was married to someone else at the time. According to wiki (I know) he was in a dual cheating relationship with Barrett and Uhura at the time but had set up living with Barrett while the show was made. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) dropped out of the relationship and Roddenberry eventually divorced his first wife in 1969 and then married Barrett. When that pilot was made they were probably “dating”
It was Tango
And I was stunned to learn the second one was named Mary Lou
Vina’s horse, I presume ?
They were “dating.” I met Miss Barrett on one occasion. Gene cast her in the pilot as the executive officer AKA Number One. NBC execs ordered everyone fired from the pilot with the lone exception of Jeffrey Hunter. Hunter’s wife’s demands made it impossible for him to continue in the part. Gene defied the network by keeping Nimoy’s Spock, which the network badly wanted gone, and put Majel in a different, but minor role, as Nurse Chapel (the younger sister of Number One).
