Ok, with the above Boston Danglers post, and this new one, players at home now have two actors to guess.

This actress could fill out a uniform and go "pew pew" with the boys. All the while giving this poster feelings in the nether regions when he watched her.

Barbarella?

i've got one:

Over+Her+Dead+Body+LA+Premiere+Whtf-bQMVD8l.jpg


star trek (multiple), b5 (multiple), max headroom, doctor who...this guy gets around so much for so long he's practically the wheel.

This one has been up long enough, I think. Its William Morgan Sheppard. Sheppard has a huge scifi history on imdb and its too long to post here.Very often he played aliens in costume so his face is not the well known.

His son Mark Sheppard is also a very good scifi actor. Recently he played a lawyer in the Battlestar Galactica reboot and father and son appeared in a Doctor Who arc.

The mom is an icon in the classic scifi era.

Man this thread shows I need to read more about what you are calling classic Sci-Fi. For me the "classic scifi era" started with the TWOK and ended with the last episode of Stargate Atlantis. Anything before A Space Odyssey outside of a few exceptions (Metropolis, The Day the Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds and TOS) is completely off my map.

When I look on wikipedia for the golden age of SciFi it talks about books from the 30s and 40s:

Anyone have a better resource where I can learn more about this era? I promise I will quit guessing.

I dunno, I think of the 50s and 60s, but thats more for TV and movies. I generally dont read scifi.

You would recognize her in her alien makeup. Painted white from head to toe.

Hmmm. All I can think of is this aliens from a Stargate SG1 episodes when a rov harmed a population of white aliens. I don't think it could be that.

Then again Casper comes to mind...
