Yeoman Rand. I was really upset when they (the writers) killed off this character.
They didn't kill Yeoman Rand off. She was still alive during Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, serving under Captain Sulu on the U.S.S. Excelsior. She was only in 4 episodes of the original TV series because the studio fired actress Grace Lee Whitney for being an irresponsible alcoholic and drug addict. She cleaned herself up in time to reprise her role as Rand in Star Trek: The Morion Picture, where she had been promoted to Transporter Chief.
As for myself, I offer the write-in candidate of the late Susan Oliver as Vina, the green Orion dancing girl. That lizard-skin swimsuit looked mighty good on her.

I stand corrected. I was upset when this character ceased to appear, not when she was killed. Thanks for the information on the actress and ST movies.

Grace Lee Whitley was released from her contract because her extra caricular activity was causing proboblems on the set. On many occations she would need extra make-up because her face would be swollen for comming in hung-over (as I see you have pointed out), according to IMDB.com Grace was in 8 episodes. I agree with most that it is hard to have an original ladies of Trek without including Susan Oliver, or Larel Goodwin (who was also in the Cage as Yeomen Colt.).
On a side note, I personaly thing JJ Abrams should have cast Ray Liotta as Capt Pike instead of Bruce Green. He'd still be older then Chris Pine, but at least Liotta looks a little like Jeff Hunter.
