Anjanette Comer
Born	August 7, 1939 (1939-08-07) (age 69)/1942

Anjanette Comer is an American actress born in Dawson, Texas on August 7, 1939 (some sources give 1942). Her first major television credit was a guest appearance in a 1963 episode of Gunsmoke, followed by roles in several other dramatic series of the 1960s, such as Dr. Kildare and Bonanza. She made her feature film debut as the female lead in the 1964 comedy Quick Before It Melts followed by a memorable role in the 1965 satire The Loved One, playing a seductive mortician who offers Robert Morse a choice between being "embalmed, entombed or en-sarcophagused". The year 1966 gave her another leading role as a love interest to Marlon Brando and John Saxon in the Western adventure The Appaloosa (1966). The film, shot on location in Mexico, presented Anjanette as a Mexican peasant girl, a role she repeated in the 1968 Anthony Quinn vehicle Guns for San Sebastian. In between she starred with Robert Wagner and Jill St. John in the golf-themed 1967 film "Banning". Anjanette's movie activity dropped off in 1970 after she played Ruth in the film version of John Updike's Rabbit Run (1970); she later claimed she let her love life interfere with her work. Anjanette Comer's most recent films include Fire Sale (film) (1977) and the made-for-TV The Long Summer of George Adams (1983). In subsequent years, she was frequently cast as mysterious or exotic characters. Today, more than four decades after her debut, Anjanette Comer is still active in films and television.

Ms. Comer was formerly married to Walter Koenig of Star Trek fame. From 1976 to 1983 she was married to Robert Klane; they were divorced.
