Short Biography
Katie Saylor (born October 23, 1951) is a former American actress. Adopted as a baby by fashion designer Larry Aldrich, Saylor was born and raised in Connecticut and studied with the American Theater Wing/Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City and at the Shelton Actors Lab in San Francisco. After beginning her acting career in off-Broadway theatre, Saylor relocated to Los Angeles in 1973 and worked primarily as a B movie actress prior to landing the female lead in the NBC-TV science fiction series The Fantastic Journey. The show began filming December 26, 1976, and premiered on February 3, 1977. Saylor's character Lianna, "daughter of an Atlantean father and an extraterrestrial mother", was introduced in the second episode. She appeared in all subsequent episodes through episode six. She was absent from episode seven, the last broadcast in its original time slot before the series' cancellation. An eighth episode was broadcast June 16, 1977, but it did not include Saylor.
