Sally Kellerman has passed at age 84

Very sad to hear this, she'll forever be the romantic interest of Rodney Dangerfield AND the voice of Miss Finch on a childhood favorite, Follow That Bird. I met her at a convention years ago, she was so sweet.
 
Per the Hollywood Reporter

We will forgive them for citing her appearance as being in the third episode of Star Trek.
Actually it was the third episode aired on television back in 1966 on NBC.

The first was: The Man Trap

The second was: Charlie X

The third was the episode she appeared in: Where No Man Has Gone Before

So as far as the air date order the article is absolutely correct.

As others have said, she appeared in a variety of other TV shows and films, and was an excellent actress.

Saddened to hear about her passing.
 
I think the show might have been better off going with Dr. Dehner instead of Dr. McCoy. Star Trek's whole problem with helpless, beehived women fetching coffee would have been more than balanced off by Sally Kellerman as the confident, business-like ship's surgeon, Kirk's platonic friend, and Spock's foil.
 
We will forgive them for citing her appearance as being in the third episode of Star Trek.

Last night's episode of Ready Room did the same thing, of all places.

Even though WNMHGB was the second pilot, technically, it was also the third episode to air in 1967 1966. So not really inaccurate.

Technically accurate but so very wrong. This is why I ignore airdate order for the first few TOS episodes.
