Star Trek Babes - Season 1, Ep. 7: "Mudd's Women"

Talk about some hotties. In "Mudd's Women", a cargo ship transporter named Harcourt Fenton Mudd is selling his cargo of women as wives; for a price, of course. Any takers?


Mudd's Women - Eve (actress Karen Steele), Ruth (Maggie Thrett),
and Magda (Susan Denberg)
 

Hell yeah, permission to come aboard granted!
 

Ruth
 

Magda. Whoa! Almost a wardrobe slip here.
Actually, you can see all of her--without the wardrobe--below.
 

Some early Season 1 episodes had Uhura in green.


A little about these three fine women...
 
Karen Steele (Eve) was born in 1931 in Honolulu, Hawaii and died in 1988. That made her 35 when Mudd's Women was broadcast in 1966. From 1953 until 1972 she'd appeared in numberous films and television shows.
 
Maggie Thrett (Ruth) was actually born born Diane Pine in 1946. She was a  singer as well as stage, movie and television actress during the 1960s. She was 20 in Mudd's Women. Maggie retired from the entertainment business, stating she was fed up with unwanted sexual advances from producers. Who could blame them? (Just kidding). She later married and had three children.
 
Susan Denberg (Magda). Not much is known about Susan, except that she was born in Australia in 1944 and appeared in about four American television shows during the 1960s, including, of course, Mudd's Women. It seems she also appeared in Playboy Magazine in 1966, the year Mudd's Women was broadcast (see below).
