Carolyn Nelson is the actress who played Yeoman Doris Atkins in the Star Trek episode "The Deadly Years".
She is married to "The Corbomite Maneuver" director Joseph Sargent, and aside from her appearance in "The Deadly Years" and a guest appearance on The Beverly Hillbillies, all of her acting appearances have been under her husband's direction.
These include the acclaimed 1974 film The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (also featuring Bill Cobbs) and such made-for-television movies as Man on a String (1972, with William Schallert, James B. Sikking, Garry Walberg, and Byron Morrow), The Marcus-Nelson Murders (1973, with Lawrence Pressman and Bill Zuckert), Memorial Day (1983, with Alan Oppenheimer and Bert Remsen), and Ivory Hunters (1990, with Tony Todd).
Nelson has since retired from acting. Her husband continues to direct television movies and other specials.
