Had to do a search to find out when Hunter actually made "The Cage" episode. IMBd lists the episode as airing in 1988, which made me wonder how they did that since Hunter died in 1969. Anybody know why it took almost 20 years for this episode to air?

Jeffrey Hunter was a very handsome man with bright blue eyes. I remember his role opposite John Wayne in "The Searchers", and his portrayal of Jesus in "King of Kings." Didn't realize until years later that his 3rd wife was Emily McLaughlin, who played Nurse Jessie Brewer on General Hospital.

“The Cage” was used in the two-part “The Menagerie” in TOS. The 1988 version had some scenes not show in TOS, and some were in B&W because the original color prints were lost, IIRC.
