Carey Foster

Ensign Olivia Rose in Star Trek: The Original Series. Carey can be seen in quite a few episodes throughout Season 1; most notably in the rec. room when Lazarus follows Lt. Masters out, in “The Alternative Factor”. In other episodes, she is seen in the corridors and even working on the bridge! Having already amassed quite a few credits before Trek, Ms. Foster had a role in The Lieutenant and got her role in Star Trek through her talent and her family’s friendship with Gene Roddenberry. She is also one of the few survivors of the original pilot episode, “The Cage”. Although her scenes were ultimately cut, Ms. Foster was one of the Orion women attending to Captain Pike and his companions. Her non-Trek work includes: Pajama Party, Hello Dolly, Winter A-Go-Go, and the Elvis Presley films: Kissin’ Cousins, Roustabout, and Harum Scarum. Carey even dated Elvis for about a month, in the ‘60s!
