And below, Grace as Rand as we saw her in the series, basket weave intact. Saucy!
Below, a headshot from "The Motion Picture."
Bonus link: reader Jim Fourniadis sent me this link to a Youtube video that you may get a kick out of, here it is with his message:
I thought you might enjoy. It was a promo clip for our live stage production Of The Way to Eden, and its set to Gil Scott Heron's The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

Funny! I'd like to see more of the stage production at some time. Thanks, Jim!

It's always been amazing to me just how much Rand is forgotten in much of the professional works and fan fiction of Star Trek! There's so much potential for her character!
Also, I personally believe that the sexual tension between her and Kirk was far more interesting than the gratuitous(mostly) romances Kirk had that followed after Rand was written off the show!
PM,
Thanks for the comment. It is interesting reading about the situation in the books "Inside Star Trek" and "These Are the Voyages: Season One." I agree with you, but I can see how they wouldn't want Kirk to look unfaithful to someone that loves him on the ship with all the other romances and dalliances. But it was an unceremonious dump that could have been handled much better. For example, showing the tension and the pain that she felt, ending with a dramatic transfer off the ship, or a great death scene. She at least deserved that much.
