Thanks for sharing this. I’ve forwarded it to my oldest son. He’s 45, and a Star Trek nerd.
They were doing test shots for the makeup, so they filmed her with the green makeup on. The next day, the film came back from the lab, and Oliver had normal skin color.
The filmmakers were surprised, and the director gave the order to "paint her greener." So they painted her "greener" and tried again. The next day, the film came back from the lab, showing Oliver with normal skin color.
They finally realized that each night, the guy developing and printing the test film was freaking out at what appeared to be a woman with green skin. So, he would filter the light when making the print to bring her skin tone back to normal.
No one had told him that she was supposed to be green.
Great stuff! Thanks!
Sherry Jackson was a real babe.
She probably could have gotten work as a wet nurse too.
Wow. Captain Kirk was my boyfriend when I was 4 years old. And so was James West. Started watching them both in the early 70’s.
Great stuff. Thanks !
good memories...as usual the original is still the best
How ‘bout Angelique Pettyjohn? According to Shatner she was well up for it, as her later career choice showed.
Oh OK
I read it as green onion...
I had to look
Ive never seen an “onion girl”
and I used to watch the original series...
:)
Thanks for these. Great for reminiscing. I remember watching ST over and over (& over and over!) until I finally got saturated on them.
I always got the impression that the cast & crew had as great time creating them as I had watching.
Shut up Wesley!/s
A great line from that episode is when Apollo says something along the line of being a god and Kirk replies “We have other gods now.”
Always liked that show as Kirk or Spock referenced that maybe these aliens were the basis of “gods” in ancient times - an echo of von Daniken, et al?
Felt kinda sorry for Apollo when he realizes that Game Over has occurred and wants to join the old gang.
Like others, I prefer the original series with all its corny sets - at least some of the aliens were in non-human form instead of just humanoids in different configurations.
(I hope the mods don't get mad at me)
Cool pix, thanks!
If you watch the later episodes closely, I swear you can see McCoy almost breaking character when he gets ready to say “He’s dead, Jim”.
