As promised, I’ve got not one but two hot women of the 60s for you today. And that’s  because, the episode Spock’s Brain has a smaller side role for Sheila Leighton, who plays ‘Luma’, the second in command of the Eymorg and the only other speaking role of the Eymorgs (the main character being Kara).

Luma was encountered by the landing party from the USS Enterprise in 2268 as they attempted to search for Spock’s brain. She was startled by their sudden appearance in their underground complex and attempted to stun them, but she was stunned first by Captain Kirk. Kirk then attempted to interrogate her for information, but she was unable to help because she only had the mind of a child.

While I’m so happy for the eye candy, the episode is ridiculous and perhaps indicative of the campiness and explains why TOS was canceled. I mean, TOS had some really great episodes, storylines and concepts. And then they also had crappy stuff. Spock’s brain is removed and he is still alive. Ok, I’ll take it that it was done by a highly advanced medical technique and therefore possible. But then, with a neural stimulator connected to a remote control Dr. McCoy is able to make Spock walk and do things. Like a robot. It’s laughable – and the fact that Bones kind of gets ‘revenge’ on Spock by literally making him do his bidding. Imagine Jerry doing something like this to Tom in that loveable cartoon.

Anyways, Sheila had a very short career in tv. She also made appearances in some shows that were popular at the time and the disappeared. A very funny scene is when the almost ‘bimbo-esque’ Luma declares ‘Brain? I do not know this brain?’. I actually laughed out loud. Oh Sheila, I still have the hots for you the way you looked over here back in 1968.

Ok Star Trek & Sci-fi fans and….anyone else who love women, today I have a double treat. Not one but TWO hot women of the 60s who guest starred in the Original Star Trek series. This angelic looking babe to your right is Marj Dusay, a tv actress active from the 60s onwards. She starred as ‘Kara’ the leader of the Eymorgs on the planet Sigma Draconis VI. She was responsible for stealing the brain of Commander Spock in 2268. She and her people although living in a technological society do not understand it, and are controlled by a central control system that enables them to perform tasks associated with their advanced society. “The Great Teacher” however was losing power, and Kara connected Spock’s brain up to it to supply power to the central control system.

Kara appears on the Enterprise bridge at her own will and with the power of a device tied to her arm, subdues the crew of the ship. We then see her place her hand on the forehead of an unconscious Spock. Off camera, she operated on Spock and removes his brain and then leaves the ship; the now helpless Vulcan lying on the operation bed. Kirk and his team go out in search of Kara and her species and find them with just hours to spare to save Spock’s life.

On the ice cold planet, the away team discover that the men are savage & primitive and controlled by the women who live in a sophisticated and technologically advanced underground habitat. Although at first captured, Kirk and his men manage to get away and get Kara to tell them how the knowledge is passed on to her – wearing a device on her head temporarily transfers great knowledge to her and that is how she managed to operate on Spock and remove his brain while leaving him still alive. McCoy uses this device plus his own medical knowledge to save Spock and restore his brain back where it belongs.

Marj Dusay, now 74 years old, known for her roles on American soap operas. She is especially known for her role as “Alexandra Spaulding” on Guiding Light, a role she has played on and off since 1993. She also appeared on Santa Barbera for 2 separate seasons.
