Nyla Foster (Alfred Hitchcock Presents)

Nyla Foster (Anne Francis; 1930-2011) is the secondary villainess from Alfred Hitchcock Presents' fifth season finale, "Hooked" (airdate September 25, 1960). She is a college student who was working at her father's fishing camp, which was visited by Ray Marchand and his wealthy, older wife, Gladys.
Ray, who has a wandering eye (which Gladys is aware of), quickly flirts with Nyla, who brushes off his advances at first. However, later in the episode, Nyla and Ray spend more time together, and that leads to the pair making out with each other. Ray, tired of being under Gladys' proverbial thumb, informed Nyla that he wants to leave with her, only for Nyla's request for Ray to get a divorce to fall on deaf ears, with Ray stating that he would be cut off financially in a divorce. However, after Ray mentions that Gladys can't swim, he planned to kill Gladys on their next fishing trip.
However, in the final scenes of the episode, only Gladys returned to the dock, where she encountered Nyla and her father. It was revealed that Gladys killed Ray on the boat, and in another twist, Nyla and her father were revealed as villainous conspirators. Gladys was in love with Nyla's father, and after knowing about Ray's plan to kill his wife, the evil Nyla provided the murder weapon to Gladys, who announced her plans to marry Nyla's father. As Hitchcock revealed in his closing narration, Nyla was arrested (off-screen; along with her father and Gladys) for her role in Ray's murder.
