ACTRESS
 
Soga Machiko
Rita Repulsa, MMPR 1
Famous for her roles as witch-queens, Japanese actress
Soga Machiko first starred as the evil "Queen Hedrian"
of Denjiman, and returned to Sentai years afterward,
portraying lead villain "Bandora" of Zyuranger.
Of course, the series footage was shipped to America,
where Haim Saban molded Bandora's character into "Rita
Repulsa", dubbing over the Japanese dialect.
Using a makeover subplot in series 2 of the show,
the producers permanently replaced Soga with Carla
Perez, who would be responsible for the rest of Rita's
role on Power Rangers.
 
Carla Perez
Rita Repulsa, MMPR 2 - Space
In series two, as Rita was given a makeover, the
producers officially introduced Carla Perez as the
permanent actress of Rita. Carla continued the role
until Rita's undoing, when she was purified into a
human; the moment when we finally were able to see the
true, and beautiful, face of Carla. Carla also did
some work on VR Troopers, as one of Viktor's beauties.

Barbara Goodson
Rita Repulsa, MMPR 1 - Space
A
certainly useful voice artist, Goodson provided the
screeching voice of Rita Repulsa throughout all of her
role on Power Rangers. Other known roles include
Prince Sprocket, Orbus, Mandilok, and countless
monsters from Mighty Morphin' to whatever current
series.
