Neither of those two ladies are Teri.
One is Elaine Beckett and the other is Pat Priest.
Here's Elaine's story from the great EIN website :

As far as I'm aware Teri wasn't in ECEG.
I reckon someone thought it was her & offered the photo for her to sign !
She then signed it, not realising it was a photo & a film she wasn't in !
I accepted it in good faith, & added it to my post, as she wasn't always credited with her little roles !
If our research is correct, you appeared with Elvis in Easy Come, Easy Go, in Star Trek, and then in an episode of The Wild Wild West. First, is that accurate? And, if so, why did you leave the business after those jobs?
Easy Come Easy Go was a first bit part. I spent a week on a boat on Catalina Island. Everyone got sea legs. Elvis was sweet, soft-spoken and very polite. He rowed me out in a dinghy to show me his compound. I didn't want to get out and meet his posse; not sure why. He was quite a bit older than I at that time and I was not star-struck. But he was sooo sweet. When we were in the boat, I had to lean in in order to hear him because he was so soft-spoken. I was so sad to learn of his struggles later on.
[...]
If someone is only going to have three Hollywood credits, she or he could do a lot worse than an Elvis movie and Star Trek. What does it mean to you to be connected with not one, but two pop culture phenomena: Elvis and Star Trek?
I am extremely grateful and happy to be a part of Star Trek, as well as meeting Elvis and the other various actors, and for the opportunities and jobs I was given. Not to mention, it was the most money I had ever received for a day’s work. Had I known then what I know now.

And on the Milton Berle Show on 5th June, 1956 - seen here rehearsing:

She performed a risque snake dance scene in The Indian Tomb [1959]:
Debra Paget - The Indian Tomb.jpg
"It was the very first day on set and I was so nervous. [...] Everyone was having lunch and I really didn’t feel like eating because I was that nervous. So I decided to go take a nap and if I was needed on set, they would call me. I went to my trailer and the air conditioner wasn’t working. I was just hysterical -- really hysterical. I thought, ‘Oh no, this isn’t happening.’ You could only imagine how hot it was. And there was no one around because everyone was having lunch."
"I started walking around and I suddenly found this big hut. [...] I thought, ‘There must be an air conditioner there.’ All of a sudden, there was a hand stopping me. I immediately apologize without even looking up. And I was told, ‘That’s Elvis’ dressing room. You can’t just go in. I’m going to have to ask if you’re allowed.'"
At that moment, Tsu didn’t see Presley, but she was given the green light to hang out in his room. Upon entering, she immediately felt the relief of a running air conditioner and collapsed on a nearby couch.
Tsu said the man who initially stopped her suddenly rushed in.
"Elvis had told him I could stay for as long as I liked and not to worry about it. [...] So I fell asleep."
Tsu claimed that when she opened her eyes after a restful sleep, she saw Presley’s face closely staring right back at her.
“He was putting a cold compress on my face.” [...] "He thought I must have passed out or something."
The starlet admitted she was stunned.
“He was absolutely beautiful. I mean, people with great voices are attractive to me, but this was something else. I didn’t even know what to say because I was so shocked. And then he went, ‘Don’t worry about it. I just want you to feel good. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? Are you thirsty?’ I couldn’t even talk!”
“I was overwhelmed by everything I was experiencing. [...] He smelled like baby powder and milk. But he just kept insisting if I needed or wanted anything.”
After Presley left, Tsu eventually got up and stepped, outside where she saw Presley surrounded by his entourage.
“The Colonel [...] was there and he just gave me bad vibes immediately. [...] He was not a kind man.”
Tsu claimed she and Presley quickly became friends on set. At the time, the singer was fascinated by martial arts and he learned that Tsu knew Bruce Lee. But there was another reason they bonded easily.
“He was a Southern Baptist and my family was very Christian. [...] So we connected from that alone. He was very spiritual.”
Tsu stressed that they were never lovers. And while they became pals, their friendship would ultimately be brief.
“I remember the last time we spoke, we were hanging out in his trailer. [...] He just looked at me and said, ‘Keep that light burning baby.’ And that was it. I guess he lost his light. Couldn’t find his way home, you know? I truly feel he just worked himself to death. It was very tragic.”
Tsu said she still remembers her time with Presley fondly.
“He was filled with so much light. [...] He was very generous and caring. He was always surrounded by people wherever he went. But if you just sat down with him, he was simply a good friend.”

I wasn’t very good and wasn’t interested in being good but I was interested in helping people that were good. Someone suggested I agent [which I did] and I loved it.
