The Rebel - The Hunted (1960)

I just rewatched an episode of The Outer Limits: Demon with a Glass Hand, which features Robert Culp (I, Spy, The Greatest American Hero) was written by Harlan Ellison. It also features and actress by the name of Arlene Martel, and I was curious what happened to her, as I didn't recall seeing her in any other TV shows or movies. I looked her up, and it turns out she had been in quite a few TV shows, inlcuding playing T'Pol (who I always thought was sexy, even when I was really young) in the Star Trek episode Amok Time. It turns out she also appeared in an episode of the TV show The Rebel. which I had never heard of until looking it up on the net. She appeared in a small role, and that episode also featured Leonard Nimoy, who plays Spock on Star Trek so he appeared with Arlene Martel Amok Time as well. Strangely, I never had a clue Arlene was the same actress who played both characters. But even more amazing was that this episode was directed by Irvin Kershner, who directed the greatest movie of all time; The Empire Strikes Back.
