The Longest Trek - by Grace Lee Whitney (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

She opened for jazz great Billie Holiday, shared the set with Marilyn Monroe, and flirted on-screen with Jack Lemmon. In her dream role, Gene Roddenberry beamed her aboard the Starship Enterprise as Yeoman Janice Rand in the original "Star Trek" series. But a terrifying sexual assault on the studio lot and her lifelong feelings of emptiness and isolation would soon combine to turn her starry dream into a nightmare. The life of Grace Lee Whitney is an amazing story. It is the behind-the-scenes story of Hollywood, it is an untold story of the "Star Trek" world, but above all it is the story of hope, the story of an awakening, the story of a woman who had to sink the deepest depths of self-destruction before she could rise to find her true self.
