You were a high-caliber model who rubbed elbows with the iconic, and as such became iconic yourself.
For one, you were Elvis Presley's prime squeeze (along with saucy competitor, Stella Stevens) in Girls! Girls! Girls!. You also played on rough turf in Law of the Lawless, Stage to Thunder Rock, The Glory Guys and Call to Danger, while gathering the giggles in Jackie Gleason's Papa's Delicate Condition and guest starring on Get Smart and The Beverly Hillbillies.
However, to Trekkies, you hit a whole other wondrous level as Yeoman Colt in "The Cage" and its expanded edition, "The Menagerie".
You chose to leave the entertainment business to share your compassion through the nursing field, where you remained most of your life. Your kindness and talent will now illuminate beyond the Pearly Gates, Ms. Goodwin, where the angels will be as blessed by your warmth as we have been on Earth.
