Joanne Linville, a character actress best known for appearing in some of the most iconic television shows of all time, has passed away at the age of 93.

Linville’s death was confirmed to Variety by her agent. Born in California, Linville enjoyed a decades-long career in television that saw her appear on such shows as “The Twilight Zone,” “Columbo,” “Kojak,” “Dynasty,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “L.A. Law,” “Gunsmoke,” “The Streets of San Francisco,” “Hawaii Five-0,” “Route 66,” “Barnaby Jones” and “Alfred Hitchcock Presents,” among others.

The New York Post reported that she will likely be best remembered for playing a powerful Romulan commander in the famous 1968 episode of “Star Trek” that was titled, “The Enterprise Incident.”

In the memorable episode, she became the first woman to play a Romulan, which is a fictional alien race that plays a huge role in the “Star Trek” franchise. Linville’s character faces off with Capt. James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and manages to romance  the usually unfeeling Vulcan first officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy).

Television and film producer Mark A. Altman, who worked on the 2016 documentary “50 Years of ‘Star Trek,” paid tribute to her after her death, saying that her portrayal was “perhaps the best thing about #StarTrek’s third season.”

Another memorable role of Linville’s was that of a Southern Civil War widow in a 1961 episode of Rod Serling’s classic sci-fi series “The Twilight Zone.” She worked in movies as well, most notably in the 1973 spy film Scorpio with Burt Lancaster and in the 1976 version of A Star Is Born with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.

The Hollywood Reporter stated that Linville teamed up with acclaimed teacher Stella Adler to launch an acting conservatory under Adler’s name in the 1980s. Linville would go on to write the book Seven Steps to an Acting Craft, which was published in 2011.

In 2001, Linville got the opportunity to play the  legendary gossip columnist Hedda Hopper in the television movie “James Dean,” starring James Franco in the lead role and directed by her ex-husband, Mark Rydell.

Linville is survived by Rydell as well as their children, Christopher and Amy, as well as several grandchildren and a great-grandchild.
