Celeste Jeanne Yarnall

Creation Entertainment joins our Trek family around the world in mourning the loss of Celeste Yarnall.

Our beautiful Celeste was ever present at our Star Trek shows over the course of almost two decades, and always gave generously of her time with her fans. She had a remarkable career. First discovered by Ozzie and Harriet Nelson in 1962, she appeared on their show The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and then went on to make her film debut in the Jerry Lewis classic film The Nutty Professor. In 1967, she was cast as Yeoman Martha Landon in the Star Trek Original Series episode "The Apple," a memorable role fans still talk about today. A year later she starred opposite Elvis Presley in Live A Little, Love A Little. Some fans may not be aware she authored several books on holistic pet care and was co-partner of Celestial Pets, which offers holistic health care and advice for animals and their owners. We salute the life and career of this talented and lovely lady.

Join us at our annual Official Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas this July 31-August 4, 2019 to share your memories of Celeste as we honor her and other notables who are no longer with us. https://www.creationent.com/cal/st_lasvegas.html

RIP Celeste, you will remain always a part of Star Trek history and in the hearts of the thousands of fans you were so gracious to at our events.
