Donna !
I am afraid you might be off base on Space 1999, yes , the one with Martin
Landau, Barbara Bain and Moon Base Alpha. It was made here in blighty, probably
Shepperton but possibly Pinewood Studios, I don't think there was a lot of call
for location filming :-) . There was an actress who played a "shapeshifter" I
think she described herself as a metamorph, but she changed into various animals
during the series. I cannot for the life of me remember her name, but she was
a British actress and Mr Landau and Ms Bain were the "names" to enable Gerry
Anderson to sell it to America.
The fx were cheap and not too good, but I read somewhere that George Lucas
consulted and then headhunted the technicians who created them,at the time they
were "cutting edge". I am probably off base here, because I can't place where I
read it. ;-( .
