American librarian and writer who sold two scripts to the third season of the original Star Trek, Is There in Truth No Beauty? and the story that became All Our Yesterdays.
Jean Lisette Aroeste was working as a librarian at the University of California, Los Angeles, when she submitted a script to Star Trek without an agent. She was one of the very few people to sell unsolicited material to the original series.
That script became Is There in Truth No Beauty?, in which the Enterprise carries the Medusan ambassador Kollos, a being whose appearance drives humanoids mad, and the telepath Dr Miranda Jones, played by Diana Muldaur.
Aroeste followed it with All Our Yesterdays, the penultimate episode of the series, in which Kirk, Spock and McCoy are sent into the past of the doomed planet Sarpeidon and Spock falls in love with the exile Zarabeth.
