A Woman of Many Parts (all of them weird)
Catherine Schell (far left, top) is a strikingly beautiful young woman who last year landed on Space: 1999's Moonbase Alpha as Maya, the syndicated sci-fi show's resident alien. Now, aliens, as we all know, come with some strange traits. Schell's is the ability to transform her molecules for short periods of time, enabling her to make herself into whatever she—and the show's scriptwriters—consider exciting. Among her many transmogrifications, Schell's molecular metamorphoses have included a lioness (top center), a lunging gorilla (far left), a hairy snaggletoothed man (above) and an orange tree (below center). Becoming a lion or a tree is simple—it's done with trick photography, of course. The other roles, though, involve long makeup sessions, or weird costumes—some of them like the ones flanking Schell here. Most viewers, however, find the real Catherine Schell more exciting than any of her metamorphoses. In fact, they agree that she is one alien who has no need at all to transform a single beautiful molecule.
