Grace Lee Whitney, the actress who played Star Trek's Yeoman Janice Rand, has passed away at age 85.
Whitney played Captain Kirk's Yeoman in 8 of the original series first season episodes, perhaps most memorably in Charlie X. She departed the series early in its run due to struggles with addiction that she eventually overcame. She returned to the Star Trek universe in Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek Voyager and was a fan favorite on the convention circuit.
Condolences to her family and thanks for the memories of such an indelible character.
