DEFOREST KELLEY DIES AT 79
   June 11, 1999
   By Guy Vardaman 
   DeForest Kelley, the beloved "Doctor 'Bones' McCoy" on the original 
Star Trek series, died today at 12:15 p.m. (PT) in Woodland Hills, 
California. He was 79. 
   Kelley had been hospitalized at the Motion Picture and Television
Fund
Hospital for several months with a lingering illness. 
   Mr. Kelley is the first regular cast member of a Star Trek series to
pass away.
   Leonard Nimoy, longtime friend and fellow cast member, said, "He
represented humanity and it fitted him well. He was a decent, loving,
caring partner and will be deeply missed."
   Brent Spiner ("Data"), who briefly worked with Kelley in the pilot
episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation was saddened by the news. "I
hadn't heard. What a loss. Maybe the nicest [people] of all involved
with
Star Trek. I was honored to share a scene with him." 
   Majel Barrett Roddenberry, widow of Star Trek creator Gene
Roddenberry,
was also stunned by the news today, saying "He was truly one of the most
remarkable and talented men to walk the face of the earth. This is the
biggest loss that Star Trek will ever have, excluding Gene."
   Kelley was born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 20th, 1920. He is
survived by his wife of 55 years, Carolyn.
   As information about services or flowers becomes available, it will
be
posted here in Star Trek News.

Star Trek's DeForest Kelley Dead
   DeForest Kelley, best known as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy on the
original Star Trek series and for his oft-repeated line, "He's dead,
Jim,"
died this afternoon at the Motion Picture and Television Fund Hospital,
according to the City News Service. He was 79.
   "He'd been confined [at the hospital] for three months with a
lingering
illness," says longtime friend and Paramount producer A.C. Lyles. "I
talked to him last night, and he was looking forward to going to UCLA
for
some experimental program, hoping he'd be admitted to participate." 
   Although his role as the cranky Dr. McCoy secured him a place in the
pop culture annals, Kelley started acting in 1947, starring in Fear of
the
Night. He also had supporting parts in Gunfight at the O.K. Corral with
Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas, and Raintree County with Elizabeth
Taylor, as well as dozens of television roles. 
   "[He] just did a lot of things and Gene Roddenberry saw him and put
him
with Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner in Star Trek," Lyles says. 
   Nimoy, who played Mr. Spock on the 1966-69 science fiction series,
recalls Kelley's kindness. 
   "He represented humanity and it fitted him well," Nimoy says. "He was
a
decent, loving, caring partner and will be deeply missed." 
   After the series ended, Kelley's jobs were mostly limited to Trek-ian
fare, including all six Trek movies and a guest appearance on an episode
of Star Trek: The Next Generation (in which Leonard McCoy had finally
been
promoted to Admiral). He also did voice work in the 1998 animated movie
The Brave Little Toaster Goes to Mars. 
   Kelley is survived by his wife of nearly 55 years, Carolyn, who was
with him when he died. 
   "She has been in a room next door [at the hospital] for 15 months
with
a broken leg (and other complications)," Lyles says.

Carolyn was De's wife and she is also currently a patient at the
hospital. 
Per the hospital spokeman, she was also not doing very well and De's
death
has, naturally, worsened her condition.  :-( Either way, I was assured

  STARFLEET DOSSIER: DEFOREST KELLEY
  [From 
startrekcontinuum.com
]
 
   The Actor
   DeForest Kelley had played villains most of his adult career, usually 
in Westerns, until Gene Roddenberry plucked him up to play a lab doctor
in his short-lived series The Lieutenant. A generation later the world 
knows him simply as that ol' country doctor, Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy. 
   The Character
   McCoy was not a character in either of the first two pilots and, like 
Nichelle Nichols' Uhura, was not a member of Kirk's crew until the 
beginning of regular production. Thus, "De" Kelley first appeared in 
Starfleet logs for "Corbomite Maneuver," but viewers first saw him in
the 
first one-hour aired, "The Man Trap" -- which by coincidence featured
about as much of McCoy's "backstory" -- an old girlfriend -- as we 
would learn in almost the entire original series. 
   The Episodes
   Despite that, McCoy was featured prominently in several episodes, en 
route to getting co-starring billing in the opening credits with the 
coming of Season 2. One might never have guessed it based on his film 
career, based mostly on a horse or behind the wrong end of the law, but 
De Kelley made the role his own and made the doctor an equal foil for 
both his captain and his arch-debate partner, Spock. 
   Kelley's heaviest episode as McCoy undoubtedly included that with the 
longest title -- "For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky" -- 
as he fell in love with the Yonadan priestess, Natira, after realizing 
he had less than a year to live. Neither event eventually came to pass, 
but they clearly played a big part of his life.
   Perhaps Kelley's most notable performance came in the classic "City 
on the Edge of Forever." As the pivotal focus of an accidental change in 
time, Kelley's bewildered revival from an accidental overdose -- a scene
shared with Joan Collins, 1930s social worker Edith Keeler -- is a
classic 
of the role. 
   But Kelley had his moments throughout the series, because rather than 
Kirk's heroics or Spock's logic it was often McCoy's skills that saved 
the day. From saving Spock and Kirk in both "Amok Time" and "Journey to 
Babel" to his blow for medical diplomacy in "Friday's Child" and medical
intelligence in "The Trouble With Tribbles," McCoy was in the thick
of what made the U.S.S. Enterprise's voyages legend. 
   The Movies
   De Kelley had several shining moments as McCoy throughout the film 
series -- and many of the best lines. From his opening grouchfest as a 
bearded "draftee" with old friend Kirk amid the crew reunion of Star
Trek 
The Motion Picture, to the housing of Spock's katra and a bare bones 
admission of friendship in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, McCoy
has 
been a character that grew throughout. Kelley's portrayal of McCoy's 
confrontation with past choices over his dad's final days was a gripping 
moment in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. 
   And More...
   Kelley has been a favorite of fans ever since the earliest days of
conventions, and his poem "The Big Bird's Dream" has been reprinted and 
recited often. One of his latest appearances was at Huntsville, Ala.,
for 
the 30th Anniversary festival, where he shared the stage with his
original
stars, held his own against the "Big Two" William Shatner and Leonard 
Nimoy, and even out ad libbed Star Trek: Voyager's Bob "EMH Doctor" 
Picardo, no slouch on the witticisms himself.

I didn't know they were married.  How sweet.  Sort of makes them the Tracey
