Yep. Lots of starlets. But I’ve sometimes seen folks then carry this over and imply (unfairly and inaccurately) that the actresses who guest-starred on “Trek” were similar casting-couch scenarios. That would hardly be the case. Actresses like Madlyn Rhue, Barbara Luna, Nancy Kovack, Joanne Linville, and the dozens of others had solid tv careers going on, and would have slapped the snot out of Roddenberry had he made them such a lewd proposition.
Such actresses hardly had any great ‘need’ to be guesting on “Star Trek.” They had a steady stream of employment via other shows always awaiting them... Gunsmoke, The FBI, The Virginian, Judd for the Defense, Man from UNCLE, Laredo, Mannix, and countless others. Maybe some of these actresses were more vulnerable to such casting-couch propositions when they were younger and unknown, but NOT by the time they were guest-starring on “Star Trek.”
Yeah, good points to note.
