She wrote one of "those" books too.
I found it remarkably positive given the facts of her experience. It's noble in spirit and practically bicker-free. (Reasonably-priced, too.) Recommended.

Hollywood is a merciless place, especially for women, it seems like it all but chewed her up and spit her out for a while, probably all the moreso because she was so beautiful, hence the alcohol abuse.
Roddenberry, for all his enlightened ideas, mostly used woman like potted plants in the scenery. I am sure the disappointments weighed upon her for a while.
She surely proved that she could act, in the unfortunately few episodes that she was in the TOS. She did fortunately get to appear again in the movies, even though those were small parts, I always found it comforting, that the family was back together, when she showed up on the big screen. She had one part in Voyager also
Surely will miss her always.
She always did have exactly that it seems to me - grace, poise and strength. Rest in Peace Grace

Yes, Eric, thank you so much for your words and pictures. I booted up this morning and was immediately greeted by the sad news. I never had the pleasure of meeting her. A family emergency interrupted my initial research on ST-TMP, and Ms. Whitney was one of six people who were interviewed for me by Kay Milam Anderson. Over the years, whenever I've read Ms. Whitney's passages in my manuscript, I've aways found something touching and sweet about her. I wish I could have met her, but I'm very glad hers is one of the voices in my book. Now I must read her book.

Sad.
I'm sure Capt. Kirk's log was scattered with small irrelevant entries just so he could have an excuse to dictate to his best yoeman.
