(written from a Production point of view)
Herbert Wallerstein (28 November 1925 – 29 September 1985; age 59) directed four third season episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series.
He also directed episodes of such television programs as I Dream of Jeannie (on which he also worked as associate producer during the first season), The Brady Bunch, Gunsmoke, The Six Million Dollar Man, and Wonder Woman. He was also a director on the comic western series Barbary Coast, which starred TOS actor William Shatner.
Wallerstein was murdered by his housekeeper, Mayre Melendez Lopez, who beat her employer with a baseball bat, then, trying to cover up her crime, dumped his body in a car and set the vehicle on fire. Lopez claimed that she acted out of self-defense, and was not found guilty in any of the manslaughter charges. [1]
