We've already considered the first and second incarnations of Star Sapphire, the Green Lantern Hal Jordan's true love Carol Ferris transformed into an alien queen thanks to the machinations of an alien race of Zamorans to be their mortal queen. Turns out there was a long list of such queens, and these included another pair... one residing on Earth-Two and the latter one on Earth-One. And each resembled the other and the long line of Zamorans queens that preceeded them! Evidently there was an alien in Earth-Two's universe in order to recruit a queen as this race was later verified as the source for the golden age version's powers and identity.
On Earth-Two, an unnamed alien woman first plagued that world's Flash on two occasions, in 1947 and 1948, when she removed the speedster and his friend Doctor Maria Flura from their dimension exiled into her own 7th dimenstion. During her second foray to Earth, she attempted to banish all males whom she feared from that world in order to rule the females remaining. This femme fatale wore a star sapphire and had various undefined powers such as creating purple stairways to allow her to defy gravity and manipulating the environment. After two decisive defeats she apparently retreated without the motivation and/or courage for another bout with her mortal foe.
Decades later in 1976 on Earth-One, an alien woman named Remoni-Notra from the planet Pandina was sent to gather four remaining sapphires besides the one she was given in order to earn her the right to be the next Zamoran queen. Allying herself with the Secret Society of Super-Villains and assuming the civilian identity of stewardess Deborah Camille Darnell, she soon earned the emnity of both the criminal Wizard and the hero Captain Comet (the latter she attempted to strike up a romance with which didn't progress as she would've liked). After journeying with the Society to Earths Three and Two before a pit stop in dimensional limbo, she returned to Earth and soon retired as a super-felon.

Actually Remoni-Notra assumed two Earth IDs. One was Deborah Darnell, a real estate agent who tried to set up a romance with Captain Comet. The other was Camille, an airline stewardess whose alter ego was known to the Secret Society. It was revealed in the Identity Crisis mini-series that the JLA wiped this Star Sapphire's mind, causing her apparent disappearance.
Hope this helps!
