When Iman Played the Treacherous & Sexy Martia In "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country"...

Iman (born 25 July 1955; age 68)... Tall and incredibly gorgeous, she was born in Mogadishu, Somalia as Zara Mohamed Abdulmajid, but her first name was later changed to "Iman", meaning "faith" in Arabic. Her father was a diplomat, who served as the Somalian ambassador to Saudi Arabia at one point. Iman attended boarding school in Egypt and briefly studied political science at the University of Nairobi in Kenya, where she was discovered by a photographer. Iman was the wife of deceased Rock singer and actor David Bowie.

"Give a girl a chance, Captain. It takes a lot of effort."

– Martia on her remarkable shapeshifting abilities to James T. Kirk, 2293 (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country). Martia was a treacherous Chameloid in the 23rd century. She had committed a major crime against the Klingon Empire and was thus imprisoned on the Klingon penal colony planetoid Rura Penthe in the 2290s. As a Chameloid, she was able to change her appearance at will. One seemingly preferred guise was as a singularly sexy and seductive female humanoid, with stunning yellow eyes like a cat, dressed in a stylish dark brown furry outfit (complete with scarf and including a jacket), and smoking a cheroot cigar. Other appearances included a small, vulnerable girl child or a large, ugly and hairy male alien. In 2293, she was involved in a plot to kill Captain James T. Kirk and Doctor Leonard McCoy. Martia was offered a complete and full pardon for her crimes if she assisted the Klingons in murdering the two Starfleet officers, by helping them escape and therefore giving the guards a believable excuse for killing them. She initially approached Kirk and McCoy when they were imprisoned in Rura Penthe, and helped them avoid a fight with a large, threatening inmate as well as with a horned alien prisoner. Then, she offered them a way what seemed like a plausable to escape. Using her shapeshifting abilities, she alternately appeared as the hirsute male alien to infiltrate a male-only level, and then as a little blond girl to escape her restraints. Helping Kirk and McCoy travel to Rura Pente's fridgid surface and beyond the magnetic shield, Martia then attempted to alert the guards to their location, and engaged in a fight with Kirk, changing her appearance again to mimic Kirk's features. When the commandant of the colony arrived, however, he was tricked into killing Martia by the genuine Kirk.
