Without a doubt she had the prettiest walk of any woman I've ever seen. Charlie X asked Kirk.."Is that a girl"? Kirk replied... "Thats a Girl". No truer words were ever spoken.
My most favourite of all the star Trek characters. The very first girl to make my heart flutter, she was so beautiful and will be remembered by many who watched the first series.
I got to meet her briefly at a small sci-fi con in Houston in the late 70s. We got our picture taken at the helm of a full-size shuttlecraft mockup but the negative was destroyed in the lab. I asked her why her character was dropped, and she gave me the old story about how they were afraid Rand's relationship with Kirk would cramp his love life. I think it's a shame she's not included when people talk about the show's main cast.
We will always remember her it was even more sad because her son is my teacher Jonathan. He wasn't at school for 2 weeks. My class decided to make a card for him to tell him that she will always be in our hearts R.I.P Grace we will never forget u
Nope. I had posters of her in my room. "Originally the series was supposed to center around a Kirk/Rand romance, but DC (Dorothy) Fontana thought and convinced Gene Roddenberry that it would make the series less interesting, so they centered around Captain Kirk being a great leader galloping around the cosmos. Grace was supposed to have bigger roles and it created tension on the set." - Bob Glenn (Glen Glenn Sound)
@@phoffeld I've picked up a limerick concerning this duo - Janice loved Jim, sad to say, Who wouldn't give her the right time of day, He'd married his ship, The ignorant drip, Leaving Rand with which no one to play.
What a phenomenally beautiful , sexy woman Grace Lee Whitney was! And she was an excellent actress who sadly never received the recognition for her wonderful acting ability. RIP Grace Lee Whitney.
Big fan 💚 🎇 "Star Trek" 'Grace Lee Whitney'.... adding a certain kind of beauty & fine acting in her 🎬 roll on the enterprise. In those great year's we were all young, late 70tees to 80tees, racing home to see on TV 📺 I cud'nt understand how 🤔 she was in a lot of episode's and then gone from our tv screens?? I was always puzzled 💭🗯 glad i research her lovely name? My favourite program alway's & still watching on TV old Re ~ runs, 📽 💚 🎬 to UA-cam etc ! December 2022. RIP G.Lee.Whitney.... astonishing looking lady , who will alway's be remembered as 'Yeoman janice Rand' her part was so unique ❤ 🇮🇪
For those who don't know Grace Lee Whitney is responsible for the famous Star Trek miniskirt uniform! In the two pilots (The Cage and Where No Man Has Gone Before) the women officers wore pants. During costume fittings for the series Grace asked if she could instead wear a skirt to show off her dancers legs. Mini skirts were in fashion at the time so it didn't seem unreasonable. Once Nichelle Nichols was on board the rest was history! Thanks GLW!
I was always waiting for her to appear in the Star Trek episodes and I was sad when I heard about her life later. She was the kind of Lady to fall in love with. R. I P. Grace
@@cherry1311 My friend, Grace Lee Whitney had a problem with alcohol, and ended up being released from contract after eight episodes. Many years later, she entered rehab, which she completed with flying colors, then she turned herself over to what she called a "higher power", if you will. Grace went on to become a counselor and motivational speaker - and would even appear in future Trek stories, as it were. Truly, I treasure her - and, as such, I also treasure Yeoman Janice Rand.
Whata wonderful person.. R.i.p. Grace lee whitney. I hope in the new trek films when rand gets reintriduced, it will pay compliment to her. If the jj abrams film had made years earlier jenna elfman would have been perfect.. But since thats not the case now get someone who is an unknown and make her interesting enough to stick and perhaps a promotion
I think Grace Lee Whitney's Yeoman Janice Rand character was the inspiration for Denise Crosby's Lt. Tasha Yar character from Star Trek The Next Generation. Perhaps Tasha Yar was a relative of Janice Rand's. Also, I think that these two actresses were the inspiration for Sigourney Weaver's Gwen DeMarco character from Galaxy Quest.
I did not realize she was in her late 30's when she was on Star Trek, she really gave all the young broads a run for their money ! Those are some beautiful dancers legs !

Grace lee Whitney, man what a woman, truly a little piece of heaven!
One of the most iconic hairstyles of all time (along with Carol Brady's shag with the flip at the back).
My most favourite of all the star Trek characters. The very first girl to make my heart flutter, she was so beautiful and will be remembered by many who watched the first series.
I've grown to be fond of Janice - I consider Grace Lee to be as an angel now. I truly think the world of her.
RIP Grace Lee Whitney's (Yeoman Janice Rand).. Thanks for the memories..

Yes, my friend - what is Grace Lee Whitney to these guys, chop liver?
What a wonderful woman wish she would have been around for the entire original series
I've grown to love the noble yeoman - thanks, Grace Lee Whitney.
We will always remember her it was even more sad because her son is my teacher Jonathan. He wasn't at school for 2 weeks. My class decided to make a card for him to tell him that she will always be in our hearts R.I.P Grace we will never forget u
Nor shall I forget this noble lady.
Rest well, Grace Lee Whitney - for you have earned it, many times over.
I thought I was the only 15 year old who was in love with her. Frankly I think her episodes were some of the best of the series.

@@MegaJustGeorge GOOD ONE!!!
@@phoffeld Thank you, my friend - I can truly entertain, as well as inform.
Such a talented singer and actress. She sang in Chicago jazz clubs when she was very young.
One of my favorites
Well done! Great job with catchy music!

How very true, Stephan - how very true, indeed.
Now, she belongs to the stars. Rest Well, Grace Lee Whitney - for you have earned it, many times over.
She was my first crush. Most beautiful hair I ever saw.
RIP Grace Lee Whitney
What a babe. A man could rule the universe with a Yeoman like her in his life.
I Love Her ... RIP
Hello
Shame what happened with her, at that time. Glad she got everything back!
What happend ?

@@MegaJustGeorge but, I read somewhere that producers harassed her and that's why she left the Star Trek.
@@cherry1311 That had a bearing on Grace's exit from the series, too, my friend.
It ironic that we have the impression that Rand was considerably younger than Kirk when in real life Grace Lee Whitney is one year older than Shatner.
In novelizations of the episodes I read that Kirk was supposed to be 34 and Rand was supposed to be 24.
Wow 😇
I want her!
Cute vid. 😁
ahahahahaa!!!....
luv'd it....

Grace and the Wombles---a rather strange combination, I would have thought.
2:07 that smile
Born in 1930 - filmed in 1966 ... so she was actually a year older than Shatner and Nimoy. I always believed she was younger.
Classy lady will be missed.
mARVELOUS REQUIEM HERE.
I'm now beginning to wish that I could have cuddled with Janice - just once.
A great character.
Somewhat odd choice of music, but a great video tribute to a beautiful woman.
She really looked like a true M'Ress!

She was 36, one year older than Shatner. Her character was supposed to be 24.
Really classy woman who got put in wrong direction thanks to a creepy Harvey Weinstein style exec.
It was alleged that Gene Roddenberry sexually assaulted GLW
Is anyone going to explain the wombles connection?
Inappropriate choice of music.
I watched the first 25 seconds because I didn't know what a Womble was. This was just stupid.
I watched the video because Yeoman Rand is pleasant to look at. But I agree the song is completely stupid.
the last part was the best 2:20 lucky guy lol
Que linda era ella.-
that android,hell yeah ,battle free.
I wanted her to bear my children, but, I was only 6 or 7, and she was 35.....problem? :)
Not when similar situations happen in our schools.
She was a beautiful woman. ..stupid hair do tho lol RIP Grace Lee Whitney
A truly beautiful girl . The black woman should been the one to go . Grace was a much better actor .
closer to winepeg,or on that lattitude,i just wish it could give them permanent beauty.doh !!!!
You can see grace struggling with weight issues...notice how slender she is at 0.39....
She doesn't look overly thin to me. She might look different to you because her hair is tied back instead of hanging loose like normal
She was not pretty.
I bet she is a hell of a lot prettier than you, With a name like BERTHA! You know that you are uglier than a pile of shit.
@@randcrazy66
LoL. And why would _another female presume_ to even have a handle on that. I'm gonna get slammed now, LoL!
Bro was absolutely adorable and beautiful what are you talking about
Why have the Wombles theme tune playing though?
