This from StarTrek.com:

Elizabeth Rogers Remembered

"The distress call definitely came from one of the solar systems in this sector, captain...it was so badly garbled all we got was the name Constellation. Then we lost it."
– Lt. Palmer (Elizabeth Rogers) in "The Doomsday Machine".

Elizabeth Rogers, who appeared in two episodes of Star Trek, passed away on November 6. Rogers died of complications from a series of strokes and lung cancer, according to reports.

Ms. Rogers appeared in several movies and television shows througout her career, including the hit film "An Officer and a Gentleman." Star Trek fans will remember the blonde actress as a sometime fill-in for Uhura on the Bridge as Lt. Palmer, specifically in the episodes "The Doomsday Machine" and "The Way to Eden". She also voiced the part of the Companion in "Metamorphosis".



This is very sad news. We have lost yet another of our favorite female guest stars of the original show. She'll be sorely missed.

Very sad indeed...interesting how Classic Star trek ( of which I am a HUGE Fan) seems STILL somehow contemporary to most of us, that we keep forgetting JUST how long AGO it was made..the cinematography and film quality were so GREAT & well done, and with the advent of DVD, they look like they were pretty much filmed the same day we view them..As well as the fact that Most of us, were UNDER 10 years old when TOS was in production..(some WELL under)..These actors were old enough to be our parents back THEN...Unfortunately, Its ONLY "logical" (Pardon the pun) that we lose some of them to the natural passage of time...I STILL find it HARD to recognize that Bill Shatner & Leonard Nimoy are 74 YEARS OLD EACH!!!..And James doohan is 82!!..and suffering from Alzhiemers...
