Sally Kellerman- Then

On Star Trek, Sally Kellerman made her mark in the early days of her career by portraying Dr. Elizabeth Dehner, a human Starfleet officer with extraordinary extrasensory perception abilities. Dr. Dehner’s unique gift was evident from her childhood, where she excelled at games that involved making guesses. This trait ran in her family, who also scored impressively on extrasensory perception tests.

Alongside her colleague Gary Mitchell, Dehner developed psionic energy abilities, but as they passed the galactic barrier, their personalities underwent a profound and unsettling transformation, turning them into cruel individuals. In a selfless act of heroism, Dehner ultimately sacrificed herself to assist Captain Kirk in defeating the increasingly dangerous Gary Mitchell.
