Later Career

In her later years, she played two more prominent roles in productions that took her as far away from her Shakespearean origins as possible. In 1984, she appeared in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock as the Vulcan High Priestess "T'Lar". That same year, she commenced a three-year stint as matriarch Minx Lockridge on the NBC soap opera Santa Barbara. She had professed to be a fan, but after signing the contract, she complained about her lack of screen time. After leaving the series, she was succeeded in the role by the quarter-century younger American actress Janis Paige.
