Star Trek had many a memorable guest star turning in an unforgettable performance as a great character, but most of them had, well,
names. In the classic original series episode,
The Enterprise Incident, Joanne Linville played a seductive Romulan Commander of the ship targeted for a top secret mission - by the James Bond and Jason Bourne like duo of Captain Kirk and Spock.
Linville has had a respected Hollywood career, but her turn as the mysterious Romulan who tries to seduce Spock is one of the most memorable. Her character's name is never revealed in the episode, however, at one point she does whisper it into Spock's ear, who replies with, "
How rare, and how beautiful. But so incongruous when spoken by a soldier."
I believe she meet Spock again in one of the books and her name is given. I'd have to look.
