And while very much the character actress, her name was about as famous as her co-stars.
Were any other TREK actresses beside her, Michelle Yeoh or Bujold ever Oscar-nominated?

Louise Fletcher
D'o(f course!)h!!!!! But Garr was the first....
Alfre. But point taken. But Darby take out. She did not receive an Oscar nom. She DID win a 1969 Best Actress award for that year....from me, much later. I also gave it to Hailee Steinfeld in 2010 for the same role. Digression ended.
I think Louise Fletcher was the first actor/actress to do a STAR TREK role after they had won an Oscar.
I nominated Nichelle Nichols for her controversial TRUCK TURNER supporting role in my 1974 awards. She won. In reality, Ingrid Bergman stole her chances that year. Digression ended.
Don't start a post in "Star Trek passings" with a list of NAMES! Oy!
And good chemistry with the cat and the computer!
She left an impression on me when I viewed "Assignment Earth" back in '68.
A few years later, I recognized her from Trek when she appeared on shows such as "Sonny and Cher" and "McCloud."
The first production listed by the Wikipedia filmography was "Fun In Acapulco" (1963), the last was "How To Marry A Billionaire" (2011). Retired in 2011 due to multiple sclerosis.
And good chemistry with the cat and the computer!
I think everyone had good chemistry with the Cat. The cat was the star of that episode.
There have been a couple YouTube videos about Assignment Earth:
1. The Lost Star Trek Spin-Off
2. Assignment Earth the Star Trek spin off series that never happened

Damn he was great as Candyman and one of the best parts of the 'Night of the Living Dead' remake.
He was also great as Worf's brother Kurn, and an older Jake Sisko from "The Visitor". He also did a few minor roles in Trek as well. I would have liked for him to have done a voiceover on Lower Decks.
A truly great guy to be around. He was one of the first actors I met at my first DragonCon in 2006. We were talking for a good half hour. After telling him how much "THE VISITOR" meant to me, he told me his own personal story of why he did that role. Made me appreciate the episode even more. Over 470 actors/actresses I have met, and he remains one of my favorites I ever talked with. Wonderful actor.
Big guy... big heart.
R.I.P., sir.
