Celeste Yarnall as Yeoman Martha Landon
Celeste Yarnall had a minor part in Star Trek, appearing in the 1967 episode “The Apple”. While her appearance was minor, she was recognized for it and, much to the joy of fans, appeared again in 2006 in “Star Trek: Of Gods and Men.” Celeste had some success in film and television during the 1960s and 1970s, featuring in one of Elvis Presley’s films. Once again, her role was minor but unforgettable. The stunning young girl played a partygoer who captured Presley’s attention and prompted him to sing “A Little Less Conversation.” As her acting career faded, Yarnall sensibly transitioned into real estate, where she achieved great success. She died in October 2018, following a long and difficult battle.

Robert Picardo as Emergency Medical Hologram
Here’s something you may not know about your favorite Emergency Medical Hologram. Robert Picardo, the actor who performed the part, was on track to become a real-life doctor before deciding to pursue a career in acting. Picardo graduated from William Penn Charter School and entered Yale as a pre-med student, ready to face life. But the drama department called to him, and unable to resist, Picardo altered his major, finally graduating from Yale with a drama degree rather than a medical degree! Given his background, Picardo’s decision to play the Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH) on Star Trek is a wonderful development. Picardo’s EMH persona, sometimes known as “The Doctor,” appeared in the “Star Trek: Voyager” movies. Since then, he’s had a successful acting career, appearing in movies, television, and on Broadway.
