Out of all the LIS episodes, I would have to say that I really enjoyed Space Beauty. In this episode, I remember walking down this long walkway, to take part in a galaxy beauty pageant. In this pageant were all kinds of women creatures that I had to compete against.
 
I remember working with Leonard Stone as Farnum B. If you remember, Leonard was in another one of our third season episodes called A Day at the Zoo.
 
In Space Beauty's final scene, it called for it to snow as Mark Goddard worked some type of snow making machine. I had to walk out of the Jupiter 2, towards this alien dictator that had won me in the beauty pageant. So, as I am walking towards him, it begins to snow. While the snowflakes were made out of this hot plastic, a few of them managed to get in my eyes, causing them to burn. It was a very unpleasant experience, and as soon as I finished shooting that scene, I was off to the infirmary to have my eye looked at. Other than that, Space Beauty was a fun episode to shoot.
