#4 Perhaps the inspiration for the fictional name of Capt Kirk's Edith Keeler? (Probably one of the best episodes of the original series)

Two different eras and occupations...

Christine Margaret Keeler was an English model and showgirl. Her meeting at a dance club with society osteopath Stephen Ward drew her into fashionable circles. At the height of the Cold War, she became sexually involved with a married Cabinet minister, John Profumo, as well as with a Soviet naval attaché, Yevgeny Ivanov.Wikipedia
Born:
Christine Margaret Keeler, February 22, 1942, Uxbridge, England
Died:
December 4, 2017, London, England

Christine Levermore/Platt, C.M. Sloane

#6 Re #4 --- This episode? "The City on the Edge of Forever"

"She was right. Peace was the way."
"She was right. But at the wrong time."
– Kirk and Spock, 1930 ("The City on the Edge of Forever")
Sister Edith Keeler was a female Human social worker in New York City, United States, in the 20th century.

In 1930, she ran a soup kitchen out of the 21st Street Mission. Known for her compassion and forward thinking, she sought to bring peace to the entire planet. That same year, she died in a traffic accident. (TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever")

#7 That same year, she died in a traffic accident.

Probably by the handy work of "The Deep State" at the League of Nations.

Interesting as both my parents and numerous other relatives are there. I grew up 15 minutes from there.
