Ok fellow old guys, this thread has been officially been taken over by Lost in Space. For the record, yes Mrs Robinson was very attractive and so was Judy. Penny….. too young at the time.
Judy (Marta Kristen) has a very interesting back story. She was born Birgit Annalisa Rusanen in Oslo to a Finnish woman who had gotten pregnant by a German soldier who was later killed in action. Her Finnish mother gave up little Birgit to save her the pain of growing up knowing her biological parents were part of the Nazi regime or Third Reich. Birgit spent her first years in an orphanage in Norway, and was then adopted in 1949 by a couple from Detroit, Michigan, Harold Oliver Soderquist and his wife, Bertha, who renamed her Martha Annalise Soderquist. Her adoptive father was a professor of education at Wayne University, also in Detroit. Kristen has one brother, whom her parents also adopted. In 1959, Kristen moved to the Los Angeles area while her father was on sabbatical leave from his professorship. She remained there with a guardian and graduated from Santa Monica High School. Reflecting her Scandinavian heritage, Kristen adopted the more European-sounding "Marta" and used Marta Kristen as her stage name.
Billy Mumy… was the creepy “Anthony” on that horrific Twilight Zone episode… “if you’re not nice I’ll send you to the Cornfield!” My 26 year old daughter still can’t watch that episode.
