Marta Kristen: Adopted From a Secret Wartime Orphanage and Became a Sci-Fi Icon

Marta Kristen spent three seasons drifting through the stars as Judy Robinson on Lost in Space, but her real story started years earlier in a hidden wartime orphanage in Norway.

In this conversation, she traces her adoption into a Michigan family, the chance encounter in a Santa Monica deli that launched her Hollywood career, and the wild shift her most famous show took once a certain caped crusader hit the airwaves. She also opens up about a devastating wildfire that took her home and her nearly finished memoir, and the unexpected new chapter of love she's found in the years since.
