In "The Cage", she played the female first officer known only as "NumberOne". But one complaint executives had was that they didn't think audiences could accept a female first officer. So in the next pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before", costar Creator/LeonardNimoy's character, Spock, became the first officer and Barrett was recast as Nurse Christine Chapel. In addition to playing Chapel, Barrett provided the voice of the USS ''Enterprise'''s computer and other Starfleet computers, as she would throughout the franchise.

In "The Cage", she played the female first officer known only as "NumberOne". But one complaint executives had was that they didn't think audiences could accept a female first officer. The fact that she was also romantically involved with Roddenberry made the executives more hostile towards her, as they saw a relatively unknown actress getting a leading role in a show produced by her boyfriend as glaring case of {{Nepotism}}. So in the next pilot "Where No Man Has Gone Before", costar Creator/LeonardNimoy's character, Spock, became the first officer and Barrett was recast as Nurse Christine Chapel.
