Reviews

Even when I was young, I never was fixated on 'fame,' or popularity based solely on superficial things. As Marilyn Monroe said in her last interview (slightly paraphrased), 'fame is fickle, I've had it, and it's passed me by.

While the title refers to her most enduring legacy in one episode of Star Trek, this documentary surprises the viewer in turning out to be the profile of an enigmatic actress who just bubbled under stardom in the early 1960s but in the meantime managed to put her mark on what is practically a catalogue of television of that time.I was surprised at how much I remember seeing her but like so many other actors who carve their way into our consciousness didn't reach enduring fame.

Came across this documentary on Tubi and watched because I remember her from the Star Trek episodes when I immediately fell in love.I had no idea she had so many appearances in so many different shows.

Very well made film. Interesting information on her life from friends and co stars.

I had no idea who or what The Green Girl is or was. Now I find myself having seen it three times, each more interesting and fulfilling than the last.

Just saw this film on Amazon. Well worth the watch for anyone old enough to remember the days of "The Big Three" network television, where the guest stars were almost as regular as the series stars.

The only reason this film was made is bacause the subject matter was in Star Trek.Other than that it's a think piece.

Disclosure-I donated on Kickstarter, saw this in a theater prior to DVD release, am not an employee, am not related to cast or crew and not connected with Hollywood. ***WARNING-SPOILERS AT BOTTOM***First, Thank You to Susan's family, friends and co-workers who took their time to reminisce about her and share photos and other items and to the crew.

This is a feature-length documentary about actress Susan Oliver. The title comes from a rather famous – I daresay "Iconic" – role of hers from the first Star Trek pilot made in 1963.
