- Since Star Trek (1966) was only a pilot they could keep you under option for six months and change your character or, even worse, drop you from the series. You had no guarantees that they would sign you for the series. I thought that doing the movie (The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming (1966)) would be more exciting and a great thing to do. That was a choice I had to make and you can't look back.
- I was offered a role in The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming (1966). They told me you either had to do the film or the (Star Trek (1966)) series. I chose the film, but had I known that "Star Trek" would become such a phenomenon, I probably would have opted for the series.
- I enjoyed [modeling] for a while. Conover signed me and I had to go into the city a lot. I was dragged all over the place and had to take buses and trains. I was pulled out of school frequently. I stopped modeling as a child because I decided I would rather stay in school. It was interfering too much with my studies.
- During the '60s, when a model became an actress, they didn't want you to model any more. I had reservations about going to California because I still wanted to be in New York part of the time and model. It was a difficult decision.
