...as Daras
Valora Noland is the stage name of the actress who played Daras in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Patterns of Force". When she saw that she would have to wear a Nazi armband, she attempted to leave the show, but was unable to do so since it was the first day of filming. Noland felt she was wrong for the role and has since regretted taking the part. [1]
In addition to Star Trek, Noland has been seen on such television shows as The Rifleman, Laramie (in an episode with George D. Wallace), Wagon Train, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Virginian (with Warren Stevens), and Mannix (directed by Vincent McEveety). She also worked with James Daly on "Two Faces of Treason", a segment of NBC's The DuPont Show of the Week.
Noland made her feature film debut in the 1962 drama Five Finger Exercise, co-starring Richard Beymer and Bill Quinn. She followed this with roles in the first two of William Asher's popular beach movies, 1963's Beach Party and 1964's Muscle Beach Party. She later starred in the 1965 musical romance Summer Children and had a supporting role in the 1967 John Wayne western, The War Wagon, co-starring Robert Walker.
