Another member of the original series cast has beamed up. She was one of my first TV crushes.

She was a beautiful woman while appearing in Star Trek. I think she was one of many guy's first TV crushes. May she rest in peace.

RIP. I didn't realize she was as old as Shatner. I assumes she was 10 years younger. Was she considered a regular cast member before she left the show? I had thought she had just made sporadic appearances.

She was in eight episodes of the original series, four of the movies and an episode of "Voyager."

She was older than both Shatner and Nimoy! Who knew?

Apparently, Nimoy helped her get back on her feet as she recovered from addiction.
