new Star Trek movie

I just read a mini biography on Benedict Cumberbatch, he is playing the villain in the new Star Trek movie.  It was saying how his mother is Wanda Ventham, and I am thinking gee that name is familiar.  I read further in the sentence and it states she was the actress who played Colonel Virginia Lake on the cult sci-fi series UFO.  I wonder if anyone else heard this before, I certainly was not aware.  Pretty cool to see Wanda and UFO mentioned in a major publication!

Wanda also did a couple of Hammer movies.  I know the name from besides UFO.

Are you asking if we knew who played Colonel Lake or if we knew that
Benedict Cumberbatch is her son?  My son is a Sherlock fan so we've known
about him for some time. LOL

While my friends grew up in the 70's with posters of Farrah, I liked the Hammer girls like Wanda.  Had a big crush on Caroline Munro :)  She spoke a line in The Spy Who Loved Me.  Could never figure out what she said till I found the script online and read it. She is on the speed boat taking 007 and XXX to see Stromberg.  Says why Stromberg doesnt want to shake hands.

sorry.. now back to your regular scheduled program :)  Been a while since i watched Star Trek- the animated series.  i wonder why I am thinking of that :)

She didn't do a hammer film, but a Tigon film The Blood Beast Terror (1967).

Wasn't CAPTAIN KRONOS: VAMPIRE KILLER a Hammer film? Wanda
was in that...

Oh, sorry, that should have read "VAMPIRE HUNTER"... according to
Wikipedia, it was a Hammer film...

Marc

I have both movies on DVD, thought they were both Hammer, been a while since I watched it.  And of course Kronos was a favorite, had Caroline in it.

No, I remember that... but I thought we were talking about Hammer films... :-)

Marc

Wanda Ventham has made three appearances in Doctor Who (1963-1989):

The Faceless Ones (1967 / 6 x 25 minutes - Patrick Troughton)
Image of the Fendhal (1977 / 4 x 25 minutes - Tom Baker)
Time and the Rani (1987 / 4 x 25 minutes - Sylvester McCoy)
