In her role, the Nicaraguan-born actress grows quickly into the good doctor's lovemate, then a dope addict and finally a 120-year...
...Teddy's greatest boons is a battery-powered, astronaut-type pressure suit with its own portable air-filtration system. Donning it, he is able to venture outdoors for several hours at a time. Though embarrassed at first by the suit's Buck Rogers look, Sci-Fi Buff...
