[This thread was formerly titled " The Exotica Girl in The Twilight Zone "]

As newbies are wont to do, I was digging around TCs archive and was surprised to find little discussion of Sandy Warner outside of her role as Martin Denny's cover model. As was expected of entertainers of her era, Warner did a little bit of everything: dancing, modeling, singing, . . . and acting -- including two guest parts on The Twilight Zone. I find it amusing that two of her acting appearances with the most longevity both have some connection to Exotica or the lounge scene of the day. Her first episode has her appearing in a leopard print dress. And her second episode has her playing a dancer in a nightclub.

Anyway, here's a look back. Take special note that, unlike Martin Denny's album covers where "sultry" and "mysterious" was expected, here Warner actually gets to smile:

"TWILIGHT ZONE: A NICE PLACE TO VISIT"
Two-bit crook Rocky Valentine (Larry Blyden) makes his way to an after-life which he didn't expect. Warner played "Beautiful Girl #1," one of Valentine's after-life molls.

"TWILIGHT ZONE: THE DUMMY"
A ventriloquist (Cliff Robertson) has a battle of wills with his own dummy. Warner plays "Noreen," a dancer in a chorus line.
