From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Nancy Kovack (born March 11, 1935 in Flint, Michigan) is an American actress.
She attended the University of Michigan at age 15 and graduated by 19. At the age of 20 she had won eight beauty titles.
She became interested in acting when she went to New York to attend a wedding and wound up as one of the Glea Girls for Jackie Gleason. She has appeared on a number of TV episodes, including Star Trek, Bewitched, Batman, Perry Mason, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and Burke's Law. In 1969 she was nominated for an Emmy for an appearance on Mannix.
On Broadway she appeared in The Disenchanted.
As she gained notability, she began to win roles in Hollywood movies, most notably as high priestess Medea in Jason and the Argonauts (1962). She also had parts in Strangers When We Met (1960), Diary of a Madman (1963) with Vincent Price, The Outlaws Is Coming (1965) with The Three Stooges, Sylvia (1965), Tarzan and the Valley of Gold (1966), and Frankie and Johnny (1966).
In 1969 Nancy was married to Zubin Mehta, a conductor and later music director for the New York Philharmonic orchestra. Thereafter she dedicated herself to her marriage, and her last film role was in Marooned (1969), a science fiction drama. She did, however, appear in the TV series Ellery Queen (1975) as Monica Gray, and was credited as Nancy Mehta.
In 1998 the couple moved to Germany, where Zubin Mehta became the Music Director of the Bavarian State Opera.
