So many to choose from! And if anyone has an explanation of why the Enterprise was always rotating out yeomen or had a huge staff of clerical workers in an era when computers handled that sort of thing, I'd like to hear it!
Anyway, I think I like Yeoman Barrows from "Shore Leave" the best, she's the one who actually did something other than look pretty and flirt with Kirk. SHE flirted with McCoy!
I always had a thing for Janice Rand. But there were a few others I found attractive.
shareWhen I was twelve in 1966 I had a crush on Janice Rand.
shareRand. Grace Lee Whitney was hot, and a confessed sex addict. Yum.
shareNo one sexier than the captain's woman: Marlena from Mirror, Mirror.
shareI like Barrows and also like the story for actress Emily Banks whose granddaughter had to put up with male coeds drooling over grandma while she was in college. A personal yeoman for Kirk was an idea that faded by the second half of the first season. I can't think of one past the Japanese woman from A Taste of Armageddon. Phyllis Douglas's character from The Galileo Seven most likely was a Yeoman as she did not offer any scientific expertise on the mission to investigate the quasar. Kind of weird given that yeomen in the navy were almost exclusively men so some people probably got the wrong idea about yeomen in real life.
shareYeah, well, I suspect that someone at the network wanted to find some way to shuffle pretty girls in short skirts and out of the series, whether or not their presence made any sense.
So yes, the Enterprise may have been fully computerized, but they still had a huge secretarial pool!
