She opened for jazz great Billie Holliday, clowned with Phil Silvers in Broadway's Top Banana, shared an upper berth with Marilyn Monroe in Some Like it Hot, flirted with Jack Lemmon in Irma La Douce and murdered the same man over and over again on "The Outer Limits." Her extensive TV credits include "Surfside Six," "Bonanza," "The Untouchables," "Gunsmoke," "The Big Valley," "Hart to Hart," "Batman," and "Bewitched," just to name a few.

In her dream role, Gene Roddenberry beamed her aboard the Starship Enterprise as Yeoman Janice Rand for the original Star Trek series. But a terrifying sexual assault on the studio lot and her lifelong feelings of emptiness and isolation would soon combine to turn her starry dream into a nightmare.

"I had a hole in my gut with the wind blowing through. I was in pain. I craved validation. And I looked for solace in alcohol, drugs and sex."

Whitney attributes this event with triggering the most lengthy and severe bout of her decades-long addiction to drugs, alcohol and sex. Clean, sober and a born again messianic Jew, Whitney recalls with frankness, warmth and humor her life-long battle to be a "good girl," and her hunger for a sense of belonging and acceptance.
