We've lost lovely Yeoman Colt. She was 79.

Rest in peace, Yeoman.

Always number one for me.

RIP.

RIP. I first met her at a LV con.

 

[Noname Given]

She was one of the very bright spots in the first pilot, "The Cage"; and she was in the Elvis film, "Girls, Girls, Girls" as well.

Condolences to her family and friends.

The article on deadline.com states that she was the last surviving cast member of The Cage.

I was going to bring that up.

Wasn't Sandy Gimpel a Talosian? She's still with us.

Some uncredited cast members (like the clipboard guy and the woman at the communications station) may conceivably still be alive. Carey Foster, who played an Orion serving girl in cut footage is still around, though that doesn't count I guess.

Goodwin interview, not more on Trek here, though.

Gimpel is fairly active in fandom and has some 60's SF cred (Billy Mumy's stand in/photo double) and, of course, was the M-113 creature. For me she kinda counts. Kinda.

Colt was adorable but I felt she came off better in the edited version of The Menagerie.

RIP. I liked her quite a bit and would have liked to have seen her somehow make the transition to Star Trek post-Pike. I'm sure they could have explained it somehow, or of course just given her a new role a la Ms. Barrett.

 

[J.T.B.]

She really made an impression as the original yeoman, at least for me. Sorry she's gone.

Colt had a center role in some of the stories in the 1997-98 Marvel Star Trek: Early Voyages comic.

The Internet Movie Database (IMDB) page on "The Cage", i1988, lists many uncredited cast menbers in alpabeticall order. I do no tknow how accurate their list is.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059753/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm

Tom Curtis has no dates listed.

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0193528/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t8

Sandra Lee Gimpel has no death date:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0319831/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t10

Ed Madden has no dates:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0534579/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t15

And there may have been other extras in "The Cage" who are not listed by IMDB.

Possibly someone who researches the death dates of actors for the thread Star Trek Passings might have some information:

Memory Alpha says that Ed Madden died in 2004:

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Edward_Madden

And some very confused individual has listed Grace Lee Whitney as 'Illusion Princess' in IMDd.

Tom Curtis died in 1983

 

[The Boy Who Cried Worf]

She would have been my Eve. RIP.

 

[Spock's Barber]

RIP, Laurel. Now you’re free to roam the stars.
