Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

I've seen that one before but never realised that it was taken ont he Lost in Space set! Wonder why Leonard wanted to visit Jonathan anyway?

Not sure where this one is from....too bad it wasn't a TOS episode.

now theres the basis for a 'New Visions' crossover special just waiting to be done
 
It turns out the Mannix episode "To Kill a Writer" (second-last ep of season 1), mentioned a few years ago in this thread, is actually a triple: not only Michael Strong and Ted Cassidy, but (as I just now saw on MeTV) Shirley Bonne, i.e., Ruth in "Shore Leave."
 
I'm loving the pics of Jonathan Harris with Shatner and Nimoy! A couple of remarks:

I think the blogger must be mistaken about this one being on the set of Lost in Space:

It looks a LOT more like it was taken at an airport, like the one of Shatner and Harris. These actors had promotional appearances in New York or Chicago all the time, and it seems they crossed paths. Also, note that in those days, adults dressed to fly. Men wore coats and ties on airliners back then. [Fares are so much cheaper now, today's planes are like cattle cars by comparison.] Harris would not likely be so dressed up for a workday at Fox studios.

Now this wonderful image from mb22...

...is a little confusing, because Shatner and Harris are a bit overdressed for an airplane, to say nothing of the studio (both men are even wearing cufflinks), while the super-cute Angela Cartwright is in her 1966-67 season work costume, which she'd never wear to the airport or a dressy affair. What the heck is this?

My best guess is some kind of promotional event, and an industry-wide one, because ST and LIS were from different studios and different networks. Could it have been the annual Jerry Lewis MDA telethon, which got started in 1966?

I don't know where it's from, but that guy peeking over Shatner's left shoulder looks eerily like Jonathan Frakes. Who's the same age, if not a little younger, than Angela Cartwright. :eek:
 
Frakes' father wasn't in show business - he was an English professor at Lehigh University. Why don't you already know this?:shrug:
 
Don Marshall just a week before "The Galileo Seven" aired:

Meanwhile, Lloyd Haynes keeps 'em flying..."'em" in this case being a P-51 squadron:
