Carinthia West is one of those rare figures who has managed to live several creative lives at once — actress, model, photographer, writer and confidante to some of the biggest names of the 1970s and 80s. Blake’s 7 fans will know her as Tyce, the determined, confident minder of President Sarkoff in “Bounty,” who ends up being his daughter. But her story stretches far beyond that single credit.
