In 1968, she appeared on Star Trek in the episode "The Empath," portaying an alien capable of assuming the pain and the injuries of others, and thereby healing them. It was this appearance that inspired creator Gene Roddenberry to write a role for her in all of his projects, in case she wanted to return.
