Leslie Parrish - Lt. Carolyn Palamas

In the original STAR TREK episode, Who Mourns for Adonais?, the character of Lt. Carolyn Palamas is played by the lovely Leslie Parrish.  Parrish is a veteran actress of dozens of TV shows and feature films, including the classic political thriller, The Manchurian Candidate, starring the legendary Frank Sinatra.

Lt. Palamas catches the eye and fancy of none other than the Greek god Apollo, played by Michael Forest.  Palamas must walk a fine line of adhering to her Starfleet duty, while not angering a powerful entity who claims to be the ancient Greek god.  Imagine - you are the romantic focus of a being who can project enormous hands to reach out and grab the awesomely powered Starship Enterprise?  It's clear such a relationship would be raher one sided - unless the gifts of Apollo granted Palamas similar goddess like wonders.
