Space Babe: Heather Menzies

Heather Menzies as Jessica 6 on TV's Logan's Run. Her adventures on the show were strictly Earthbound, but lovely Heather was one of my favorite Space Babes of the 70s. I had trouble actually finding a good, sexy still of Heather as Jessica online, but she was really a very unique beauty and a very appealing heroine - with truly great legs.

She was a child actress who appeared in as a Van Trapp kid in The Sound of Music, and as a young woman, she was a popular TV actress who also starred in a couple of B-movie genre films like Piranha and Sssssss. To me, though, she'll always be Jessica 6 on the short-lived television version of Logan's Run. Of course, part of my affection for Heather may because around the same time she appeared on Logan's Run, I happened to get a look at the pictorial she did for Playboy...

Here's a link to her website.

Great legs indeed. She was the best part of the Logan's Run TV series. How I wish it had lasted more than one season.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

This blog is dedicated to the science fiction films and television series of the 1970s - give or take a few years (say, 1969-1983) - including such nostalgic favorites as Star Wars, Space: 1999, UFO, Space Academy, the original Battlestar Galactica, Jason of Star Command, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Logan's Run and many others.

But be warned: I still love these productions with all the enthusiasm I held for them as a kid, and they will be treated here with affection and respect. If you're looking for someone to snarkily denigrate "old" movies - or like to do that yourself - you've come to the wrong site.

So journey with us back to the days when special effects were created by skillful hands and spaceships were detailed models, when robots were obligatory comedy relief, when square-jawed heroes and cloaked villains battled among the stars -- and the future was fun!

PLEASE NOTE: I do not sell (nor even buy, all that often) the memorabilia and merchandise I write about on this blog, nor do I have any idea what value your "collectibles" might have. That's not what this site is about, so please don't ask me.
