Veteran actress Jane Wyatt, known to millions as the on-screen wife of Robert Young in the beloved Father Knows Best and to classic Star Trek fans as Amanda, the mother of Spock, has passed away.
Her publicist said Wyatt, 96, died in her sleep of natural causes at her Bel-Air home on Friday.
According to the Associated Press, Wyatt had a successful film career in the 30s and 40s, including a role in the original Lost Horizon opposite Ronald Colman.
Her real fame came in thr 50s when she starred in 207 episodes of Father Knows Best (1954-60) as Margaret Anderson and won three Emmys in a row from 1958 to 1960.
Wyatt also appeared as Mr Spock's mother in the original Trek series and feature films."
EDIT: Unfortunately due to my mistake, the thread title still reads "Amanda Wyatt" instead of Jane Wyatt. So could someone please fix the name of this thread.

Empire: Movie News - Ricardo Montalban Dies (http://www.empireonline.com/news/feed.asp?NID=24003)
Born on November 25 1920, Ricardo Montalban is remembered by Star Trek fans for playing Khan Noonien Singh in the Star Trek original series episode Space Seed which he later reprised for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
His other roles included playing the lead character in the original Fantasy Island TV series and as the villain in the first Naked Gun movie.
He passed away on January 14 2009.
Oh dear. This is not starting the new year off so well. Ricardo was a wonderful actor, and most people that watched him (as Khan) loved to hate him (as Khan), yet loved him and his "style" that he had. I also remember him in other roles (like Fantasy Island), and he was a very good actor. He will be missed.:cry2:
i never saw Fantasy Island.
but i loved him as Khan in The Wrath of Khan and Space Seed.
TWoK is still my all time Favorite Trek movie.
and Space Seed was my Favorite Episode of the first Season of TOS :D
