Joanne Linville, a prolific actress best known for playing a Romulan commander in an episode of "Star Trek," died Sunday. She was 93.
Her passing was confirmed by Variety.
Linville, a California native, appeared in dozens of popular television shows in her decades-long career, including "The Twilight Zone," "Columbo," "Kojak," "Dynasty," "Charlie's Angels," "L.A. Law," "Gunsmoke," "The Streets of San Francisco," "Hawaii Five-0," "Route 66," "Barnaby Jones" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." She also worked in films including the 1976 version of "A Star Is Born," starring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, and the 1973 spy movie "Scorpio" with Burt Lancaster.
But she is often remembered for playing a powerful Romulan commander in the Sept. 27, 1968, "Star Trek" episode "The Enterprise Incident," in which her character faces off with Capt. James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and romances usually unfeeling Vulcan first officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy).
