Kellerman made her film debut in Reform School Girl (1959). She played Dr. Elizabeth Dehner in the second filmed pilot episode of Star Trek, opposite actors Gary Lockwood and William Shatner in 1966.

She was incensed about the way her proposed character, "Hot Lips" Houlihan, was to be humiliated. Altman said that her attitude and passion was exactly what he was looking for in that character!

Kellerman supplements her ongoing film career with stints as a nightclub singer, television and radio narrator, and in voice-overs.
