Australian-born stage and film actor (1897–1992), celebrated as Mrs Danvers in Hitchcock's Rebecca, who played the Vulcan high priestess T'Lar in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
Dame Judith Anderson was an Australian-born actor, born in 1897, regarded as one of the great classical stage performers of her time, famous for Medea and Lady Macbeth. On film she received an Academy Award nomination as the sinister housekeeper Mrs Danvers in Rebecca.
She came to Star Trek late in life, appearing in the 1984 film Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, directed by Leonard Nimoy. She plays T'Lar, the high priestess on Mount Seleya who agrees to Sarek's request and performs the fal-tor-pan, the ancient and dangerous ritual that restores Spock's katra from McCoy to his regenerated body.
It was one of her last screen roles. She died in 1992.
