Tonight's 50th anniversary season finale of Ironside ("Walls Are Waiting," Apr. 15, 1971) featured a couple of previously acquainted guys named Shatner and Carmel as its top-billed guests. While their characters, a hard-nosed parole officer and a shady lawyer, were at odds with each other, they didn't share any scenes. Shat did appear on camera with Barbara Anderson, who was making her final appearance as a series regular. I don't have any screenshots, but IMDb has a shitload.
 
Stanley Adams does not get beat up by Pete or Linc in this episode.

Leonard Nimoy's other walk-on appearance on The Carol Burnett Show: after the "Mission: Improbable" sketch in a 1970 episode, Nimoy came on with Peter Graves, Greg Morris, and Peter Lupus. It was just on MeTV.

But the best part was Burnett destroying Barbara Bain with her impression. Bain evidently declined the invitation to appear.
 
I was just watching 1971's Little Big Man starring Dustin Hoffman, which includes Jeff Corey as Wild Bill Hickok.

"Love and the Pulitzer Prize Baby," a segment in the February 5, 1971, episode of Love, American Style, features Leslie Parrish as a famous actress who propositions a prize-winning author played by Roger Perry to father a child that will have her looks and his brains.

To quorew Geroge BernardShaw in asimilar situation:

"But my dear, what if the baby has my looks and your brains?'
 
I caught Barry Atwater (image of Surak) as Lt. Col. Davis in Pork Chop Hill. Also in that film are Paul Comi (Lt. Stiles) as Sgt. Kreucheberg and Biff Elliot (Schmitter) as Pvt. Boven.

Wow, that's actually an episode I remember, because of Ms Parrish being in it.
 
You could start a whole new topic just about the Trek guests that appeared on Batman...
Most referenced already, just collecting several of the shared Star Trek / Batman cast in one image...

( still not complete, eg; Elisha Cook Jr (Starbase Lawyer), Shauna, Nona, Yeoman Mears and other lovely would be molls, several Red Shirts / as henchmen, window cameos like Ted Cassidy, etc. and others I missed, anyone in the know, please list them.)

Also as of 2017 Animated: Shatner, finally officially joined the Batman 66 crossover cast as the split--personality Harvey Dent Two-Face!

Which was absolute brilliant retroactive casting, over 50 years after the fact ...
