Happy birthday Sandra Smith
Born on June 27, 1938, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, her acting journey began in the late 1950s, and she quickly made a mark with her versatility. Her memorable role as Dr. Janice Lester in the "Star Trek" episode "Turnabout Intruder" is particularly notable.
Columbo fans were treated to her performance as gold-digging widow Cathy Goodland whose brazen infidelity drove cuckholded husband Tony into the clutches of his disapproving uncle Jarvis.
Beyond Columbo
Sandra's career spanned various genres and shows, including "The Interns," "Mannix," and "Ironside," showcasing her ability to adapt to different roles and settings.
If you're thinking you didn't see a lot of her since Columbo you'd be right...she retired from acting in 1975, just a few years after her Columbo appearance.
In her personal life she's been married (and divorced) twice, has two kids, and as far as we can tell she is (as of this writing) still alive.
