You were without question one of the most beautiful women ever to grace the movies. It's ironic, therefore, that "Queen of Outer Space", arguably your most famous role, featured you masked and marred.
Still, there are so many fine examples where your beauty did beam, whether in "That Touch of Mink"; "Calypso Joe"; "Gun Fight at Comanche Creek"; the feisty Bowery Boys entry, "Fighting Trouble"; or your cinematic intro, Walt Disney's epic adaptation of Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea".
In addition, your irrepressible charm elevated such exploitation classics as "Attack of the Puppet People"; "The Female Animal"; "Girls in Prison"; and that nifty "Queen of Outer Space" companion piece, "Missile to the Moon".
And of course, there were your many television spots, which included "The Addams Family"; "Adventures of Superman"; "The Girl From U.N.C.L.E."; "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour"; "Ironside"; "Bonanza"; "Rawhide"; and "Wanted: Dead or Alive".
You've brought much joy to the world, Ms. Mitchell, and will continue to do so whenever folks view your films. There's no doubt that the stars are shining much brighter tonight, now that your angelic presence is among them.
