    No wonder Kirk fell for Rayna so hard and fast! He remembered her from a past life!

    I've mentioned it here before, but I will again;

    I still remember John Lormer as the old man everyone dismisses as crazy, but is actually the only one that knows what's going on, in the mid-eighties d-level horror film "The Boogens".

    Heh... That reminds me of a plot point in Provenance of Shadows where
    McCoy falls in love with Natira so quickly because she looks exactly like his wife in the timeline where he successfully saved Edith Keeler.

    Just caught this episode, two and a half years after Forbin posted, and it's actually got four: Meriwether, Babcock and Logan Ramsey plus the rarely-seen Laurel Goodwin.

    Is Goodwin the last living cast member from "The Cage?"

    Also, does anyone know if she attends conventions?

    Regarding the image of a bald Michael Ansara, he also played a bald techno mage in Babylon 5.

    It seems that a clean-shaven dome was his preferred look after a certain point.

    Going by the pictures a few pages ago, that point was some time in the '60s. How many times did we really see his actual hair, I wonder? As Kang? As Kane? If ever after VTTBOTS?

    ^I remember seeing a Rockford Files episode where Ansara had a fringe of black hair and was bald on top. It took me a while to recognize him, and that was by his voice.

    Goodwin along with Felix Silla (who played a briefly seen Talosian) Ed Madden (geologist). Robert Phillips (illusory space officer) doesn't have a death date listed and would be 90 if alive.

    Goodwin attended a 2005 convention (Las Vegas, I think) and others since then, I believe.

    Felix Silla? Really? The shortest Talosian was the only male?

    ...
    In Shatner's episode, "Build Your Houses With Their Backs to the Sea", his character (with the odd name of Menemsha Faxon) is married to Louise Sorel (making her screen debut). Shatner's father is played by the venerable Pat Hingle and his mother is portrayed by Audra Lindley (THREE'S COMPANY's Mrs. Roper).

    Based on the picture in the link, "Barker" may well have been Felix Silla.

    ^No, Memory Alpha lists Silla as "Third Talosian" and "Barker" as "Fourth Talosian."

    I believe Silla was used in the background on the forced perspective Talosian corridor, much as kids were used in the forced perspective section of the TMP engine room.
