Diane Jones is an American background performer who portrayed Adama's wife Ila in portraiture in the Original Series' "Saga of a Star World", and later as a bar maiden on Equellus in the Original Series' "The Lost Warrior". Both performances were uncredited and were identified through computer-aided facial recognition.

Career

edit

Jones' first known acting credit is as Patricia in The Psycho Lover (1970),[external 1] a sexploitation crime film written and directed by Robert Vincent O'Neil. The character Patricia — referred to in the film as "the one with the cat"[external 2] — is a lesbian sculptor killed at her home by Marco Everson (Frank Cuva), a psychotic patient hypnotized by his psychiatrist into committing murder.

In January 1974, Jones appears uncredited in two productions within five days of each other. She is listed as an observer at a crime scene in the Kojak episode "Last Rites for a Dead Priest" (Season 1, Episode 12, January 23, 1974)[external 3] and five days later as a show spectator in the The Magician episode "The Illusion of the Stainless Steel Lady" (Season 1, Episode 13, January 28, 1974).[external 4] Later that year she appears uncredited as a nurse in The Terminal Man (1974), a science-fiction film directed by Mike Hodges and adapted from the novel by Michael Crichton, starring George Segal and Joan Hackett.[external 5]

Jones also appears uncredited as Miss Alabama in the The Bionic Woman Season 1 episode "Bionic Beauty" (March 17, 1976), in which Jaime Sommers (Lindsay Wagner) goes undercover as a beauty pageant contestant.

Her two appearances in Battlestar Galactica came in 1978. In "Saga of a Star World," she appears in photographs of Ila that Adama examines. In "The Lost Warrior," she is seen as an unnamed bar maiden on Equellus. Both roles were uncredited, with both identifications made through computer-aided facial recognition.
