Lois Jewell as Drusilla

In “Bread and Circuses” in the second season, Lois Jewell brought Drusilla to life. Kirk is imprisoned in this episode, so the slave is tasked to “give [Captain Kirk] his last hours as a man.” She also said that she is “ordered to please” him. It must have been one of the racist episodes in the entire franchise!

We are sad to say that Lois Jewell had a very short stint on the show. After that, she was cast to appear in The Flying Nun. Before she became an actress, she was a cosmetic and fashion model in Europe and New York. While she went to California to model, she found herself acting instead. She later decided that it wasn’t for her, so she went into business instead. In 2014, she died at the age of 76.
