Celeste Yarnall
Celeste Yarnall  was an actress who played Yeoman Martha Landon in the  second season episode . She filmed her scenes between Monday  and Monday  at Desilu Stage 10.

Yarnall was offered a choice by casting director Joseph D'Agosta to either play the yeoman in the upcoming episode "The Apple" or wait until a more substantial guest role would be available for her, probably costuming her up as an alien beauty, making full use of her looks. Yarnall chose the first option, because she liked the script and the part, and was worried if she might miss that promised other chance. She wore Grace Lee Whitney's uniform in the episode, which was re-fitted for her. (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season Two )

Her other television credits include appearances on Bewitched, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Bonanza, Land of the Giants (with Don Marshall), and Melrose Place. She also had a role in 1971's Columbo: Ransom for a Dead Man, as did Paul Carr.

Yarnall made her feature film debut in the 1963 comedy The Nutty Professor, in which she and Henry Gibson played college students. In 1968, she co-starred with Robert Walker in the film The Face of Eve. She followed this with roles in the  film Live a Little, Love a Little in 1968 and the Academy Award-nominated comedy Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice in 1969.

In 1972, Yarnall had a role in the  action film The Mechanic, as did Jill Ireland and Steve Vinovich. And in 1973, she co-starred with fellow Star Trek actors John Colicos, Joanne Linville, James B. Sikking, and William Smithers in the film Scorpio. More recent film credits include 1987's Fatal Beauty (starring Whoopi Goldberg, Harris Yulin, and Brad Dourif), 1990's Funny About Love (with Michael Bofshever and directed by Leonard Nimoy), and 1993's Born Yesterday (with Michael Ensign and Matthew Faison).

Among her other distinctions, Yarnall was also the last woman to be elected as an original "Miss Rheingold" in 1964.  Previously, another Star Trek yeoman, Emily Banks also held the same title.

In 2009, Yarnall guest-voiced the role of T'Pauk on the fan-produced series Star Trek: The Continuing Mission.

Yarnall died on 7 October 2018 at the age of 74. (Screen Actors Guild Magazine, Special Edition 2019, p. 98)
