Maggie Thrett as Ruth Bonavoji in Star Trek
Maggie Thrett became known for her role as Ruth Bonaventure on the NBC science fiction television series Star Trek. The main character is a citizen from the mid-twentieth century. She comes from the sea world and accepts Harcourt Fenton Mudd’s offer to be the companion of the lonely guy and give him the human touch comfort they so desperately need.
She arrives at the hospital after arriving at Ophiucus III, and after escaping from Dr. Leonard McCoy, she learns that there are three miners on the planet in very good health. She later married Herm Gossett through a subspace radio marriage. From September 8, 1966 to June 3, 1969, Star Trek aired 79 episodes for three seasons. Despite the excellent reviews, the creators of the series decided not to continue it due to low viewership.
