| Biography
The son of a Baptist minister, actor DeForest Kelley was one of the lucky few chosen to be groomed for stardom by Paramount Pictures' "young talent" program in 1946. He served an apprenticeship in 2-reel musicals like Gypsy Holiday before starring as a tormented musician in Fear in the Night (47). Unfortunately, a sweeping cancellation of Paramount young talent contracts ended Kelley's stardom virtually before it began. By the mid-1950s, he was scrounging up work on episodic TV and playing bits in such films as The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit (56) (this film, by the way, is the first in which Kelley uttered his now-famous line, "He's dead, captain"). Producer/writer Gene Roddenberry took a liking to Kelley and cast the actor in the leading role of a flamboyant criminal attorney in the 1959 TV pilot film 333 Montgomery. The series didn't sell, but Roddenberry was still determined to help Kelley on the road back to stardom. One of their next collaborations was Star Trek (66-69), in which (as everybody in the galaxy knows) Kelley appeared as truculent ship's doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy. Virtually all of Kelley's subsequent film appearances have been as McCoy in the seemingly endless series of elaborate Star Trek feature films. And on the pilot for the 1987 syndie Star Trek: The Next Generation, DeForrest Kelley was once more seen as "Bones" — albeit appropriately stooped and greyed.

Credits
Trivia
- Before landing the role of Dr. McCoy, he was offered the choice to play Mr. Spock.
- Is one of only 32 actors or actresses to have starred in both the original Star Trek (up to and including Star Trek VI:The Undiscovered Country) and then in one of the spin offs.
- He was cremated and his ashes scattered in the Pacific Ocean.
- Made both his first ('The Corbomite Manoeuvre') and last ('Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country') 'Star Trek' appearances with Nichelle Nichols.
- Shortly before his death he won the "Golden Cowboy Boot" award, honoring his earlier work in westerns.
- Played one of the Earp brothers in the film "Gunfight At OK Corral" and faced the Earps in an episode of Star Trek. Also played Ike Clanton in episode "The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" on "You Are There" (1953).
- Was the only original "Star Trek" (1966) cast member never to write an autobiography.
- The "Enterprise" (2001) character, Admiral Maxwell Forrest played by Vaughn Armstrong, is named after him.
- Of the four main "Star Trek" (1966) cast members (the others being William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and James Doohan), he is the only one who never appeared in "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." (1964) or "The Outer Limits" (1963).
- Reportedly disliked doing the animated Star Trek series because he was never recording his lines at the same time as William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. Kelly did not like this because he never got to interact with them and develop any rapport, which made reading his lines all the more difficult.
- He told close friends that he always felt more comfortable in westerns then he did in science fiction.
- Was the first primary cast member from "Star Trek" (1966) to pass away.
- A veteran of television and film Westerns, Kelley has portrayed two different participants in the legendary 1881 OK Corral gunfight between the Earps and the Clantons. In 1955, he played Ike Clanton in an episode of the TV show "You Are There," and in 1957, he played Morgan Earp in the film "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral."
