R.I.P. Barbara Baldavin: Television Star With Appearances In ‘Star Trek,’ ‘Charlie’s Angels’ Dead At 85

Television star Barbara Baldavin, who later worked in the casting department of several shows, has passed away. She was 85.

Baldavin’s son, Marc D’Agosta, confirmed her passing to The Hollywood Reporter. The actress died in her home at Manhattan Beach from congestive heart failure.

Baldavin’s most notable work was in Star Trek, in which she appeared in three episodes throughout the ’60s. She first appeared as Angela Martine in Season 1 of the series, before later returning as Lieutenant Lisa, a communications officer, in the series finale.

Stark Trek was one of the first roles of her career after she began acting in 1964 with an appearance in Rawhide.

Her career in television took her across many genres, with appearances in Columbo, The F.B.I., Charlie’s Angels, Fantasy Island, and more.

She sometimes appeared as multiple characters on the same series. In Medical Center, Baldavin played Nurse Holmby throughout six seasons of the series after initially appearing as a different character in Season 1.
