There was a Number One before TNG? I had no idea!

Matthew MacNish from The QQQE
Indeed there was! Although the character was only around for the pilot episode, "The Cage." According to Gene Roddenberry, the charter was one of the reasons the original Star Trek pilot was rejected by NBC, who felt a female senior officer would be rejected by audiences.
DeleteBecause of NBC's rare order of a second pilot, Roddenberry compromised by eliminating Number One, but aspects of her character — specifically, her cool demeanor and logical nature — were merged into Spock. Majel Barrett, who played Number One, was recast as Nurse Chapel.
And that should read "the character was one of the reasons" not "the charter..." #autocorrectfail
