Who never guest starred on TOS that should have?

Love idea of Boone and Lorre as Klingons 
Garner as Cochran and Stanwyck (though would never replace Linville in affection).
The great Vincent Price another obvious name (though again, perhaps too close to Batman for comfort?). Too suave to be a Klingon?
What I wouldn't give for a time portal to go back and recast according to some of suggestions in this thread Maybe technology might allow one day...

Ohhh, Vincent Price as a Klingon? He would've been awesome. The only Klingon more suave and sinister than Kor.
As for Goldie Hawn... could she even act back then? I've seen her in Laugh-In clips, and she's always so scattered and stumbling over her lines, and I'm not sure if she was just playing a role or if she genuinely hadn't learned how to act yet.
Better yet, a device to retrieve video signals from the alternate timelines where these castings already happened.

Nah, being on Batman wouldn't have done any harm, he was all over the place. He did a Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea in 1967 and was on the Brady Bunch a few years later. He would have been great on Trek.
Well, that depends on what you're looking for. For Gerry Anderson's type of SF, the first year of Space:1999 was top class. The show gets a bum rap, but it's one of my favorite shows and really tried to be its own thing. The second year, though… I enjoy it because I loved it as a kid and I also still love Catherine Schell. But it's pretty bad for the most part. And as much as I feel Freiberger gets unfairly trashed by Trek fans for season three, he flat out deserves it for Space:1999. Everything that went on during that year was all his doing. Gerry Anderson stepped way back and let Freiberger take the bows and/or brickbats. Not many bows that year, sadly.
Not to mention F Troop.
And I think people associated him more with horror movies than Batman back then. Egghead was never one of the more iconic villains like the Joker or the Penguin.
thanks for tip
Will give a shot when finish sixties fest (I put UFO as 60s aesthetic). Love idea of Price as uber-Kor. And I can't imagine Hawn being any less ditzy than Garr
Sometimes wonder if weird among contemporaries in preferring older era shows, films and actors to current ones...
Goldie Hawn was at least as good an actress as Teri Garr back then. Don‘t forget, she had a regular role in the sitcom Good Morning World (1967-68) and won a Best Actress Oscar for Cactus Flower (released in late 1969, not that long after Trek’s second season).
And it takes smarts to pull off a convincing dumb act.
Oh, absolutely. Vincent Price was and is defined primarily as a horror film star; Egghead was a very, very tiny part of his body of work.
And there were a number of actors who did both Batman and Star Trek. Yvonne Craig was Batgirl. Special guest villains were played by Frank Gorshin (Riddler), Julie Newmar (Catwoman), Lee Meriwether (movie Catwoman), Malachi Throne (False Face), Roger C. Carmel (Col. Gumm), and Joan Collins (The Siren). There's also Leslie Parrish, Nancy Kovack, William O'Connell, Teri Garr (although she only had a bit part in Batman), Ed McCready, John Crawford, Sherry Jackson, Theo Marcuse, Marianna Hill, Michael Pataki, Sid Haig, Gene Dynarski, Ted Cassidy, Dick Crockett (a TOS stuntman), Phyllis Douglas, Lawrence Montaigne, Angelique Pettyjohn, Grace Lee Whitney, Meg Wyllie, Walker Edmiston (who did uncredited voiceover work on TOS), Elisha Cook, Jr., Jon Lormer, Rhae & Alice Andrece, and Victor Lundin.

Okay, thanks. I wasn't aware of that.
Ooh ohhh ohhhhhh!!! Paul Lynde! Larry Hagman!
Barbara Eden would have been a great guest star.
Victor Buono was on nearly every other show back then. He could have been great as a large villain.
They should've done a Trek episode guest-starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum! Turnabout is fair play, after all.
Ernest Borgnine! I can totally see him as a starship captain, or maybe as the one in charge of the Janus II pergium mining.
A miner maybe, but captain of a starship? He's always played working class guys. It's his thing. And, especially in the 60s, captains were leading man types.
