Sarah
Douglas (born 12 December 1952) is an English actress. She is
perhaps best known for playing the Kryptonian supervillain Ursa in
the first two Superman movies (1978 and 1980), and for her role as
Pamela Lynch in the 1980s primetime drama series Falcon Crest
(1983–85).
Douglas was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon,
Warwickshire, the second daughter of Beryl (née Smith), a
physiotherapist who often worked upon RSC actors, and of Edward
Douglas, a career member of the Royal Air Force. Having been
educated locally at Alcester Grammar School, she then trained with
the National Youth Theatre and the Rose Bruford College, before
turning professional by working on several productions alongside
well-known British actors such as Roy Dotrice and Jon Pertwee.
Sara Douglas is most notable for playing strong but
villainessess in 1980s Science Fiction movies.
Examples of Sci-Fi
villainesses include:
• Deathwalker/Jha'Dur in the first season
of • Babylon 5 in the episode aptly named Deathwalker.
• Ursa in
Superman and Superman II
• Queen Taramis in Conan the Destroyer
