"Maybe he's singing to that man..."

Viola Kates Stimpson (25 October 1906 – 14 January 2008; age 101) is the actress who played the tour lady who points out a possible reason for George and Gracie's whale song in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. She often played women credited simply as "Old Woman" or "Old Lady".

Stimpson began acting in film and television in the late 1970s. She made guest appearance on such popular TV programs as The Bionic Woman (with Daniel Zacapa), The Fall Guy (with Vince Deadrick, Jr.), St. Elsewhere (with Chad Allen, Ed Begley, Jr., Ellen Bry, Ed Lauter, Norman Lloyd, Jennifer Savidge, and Kavi Raz), Simon & Simon (with Parley Baer, Darleen Carr, and Kenneth Mars), Highway to Heaven (with Ed Bakey), Max Headroom (with Matt Frewer and Charles Rocket), Growing Pains (with Andrew Koenig), Murder, She Wrote (with Dennis Madalone), ER (two episodes, one in 1995 and another in 1997), and Seinfeld (starring Jason Alexander). Her TV movie credits include 1982's Desperate Lives (co-starring Jennifer Parsons, Clayton Rohner, and William Windom), 1992's Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation (with Clancy Brown, Bernie Casey, James Cromwell, Brian Tochi, and Sean Whalen), and 1998's Thirst (co-starring Casey Biggs and Ken Jenkins).

In addition to Star Trek IV, Stimpson can also be seen in such films as Graduation Day (1981, with Michael Pataki), The Woman in Red (1984, with Deborah May), Into the Night (1985, with Bruce McGill), Stewardess School (1986, with Brett Cullen, Bill Erwin, Paddi Edwards and Richard Lineback), and Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000, featuring Nikki Cox and Charles Napier).

Stimpson died on 14 January 2008 at the age of 101. She is the longest lived Star Trek actor and, to date, the only one to reach the age of 100.
