Antoinette Bower, who became a familiar face thanks to her many television roles, has died aged 93.
The actress died on April 30 at a nursing home in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles, her longtime friend Carlotta Glackin confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
News of his death was made public on Saturday July 11, with the cause of death not revealed.
Many fans remember Bower for playing Sylvia in the Star Trek episode Catspaw in the 1960s.
Her character first appeared as a beautiful and mysterious woman before revealing her true form as a giant cat-like alien.
The role remained popular with fans for decades, and Bower reportedly continued to receive letters from Star Trek viewers many years later.
William Shatner also sent his condolences after learning of her passing, according to Glackin.
In a career that spanned nearly 40 years, Bower appeared on many popular shows, including The Twilight Zone, Mission: Impossible, Columbo, Bonanza, Hawaii Five O and Murder, She Wrote.
She also appeared in the horror film Prom Night.
Born in Germany in 1932, Bower later moved to Canada, where she worked in radio and television before becoming an actress.
She finally gave up acting in the early 1990s after appearing on Neon Rider for three seasons.
A celebration of Bower’s life is reportedly planned for September in Pasadena.
