Trek guest actors in maybe surprising roles

[The Old Mixer]

Me-TV is running and episode of Ironside right now guest-starring both Warren Stevens and Diana Muldaur.

This thread has been going on so long...did anyone ever mention that Diana Muldaur played David Banner's sister on The Incredible Hulk?

^I did not remember that. Cool.

Muldaur also appeared in another Hulk episode as a different character, a nun (though I believe she was a mother rather than another "sister").

From what I have heard, Muldaur was a REAL 'mother'....

If you zip on back to post #28 in this thread, I have a grab of a scantily-clad Muldaur in a Kung Fu episode.

Thank you for the reminder

Especially since it is right above the incredible shots of Sherry Jackson in a VERY tight and opaque bikini

One of the -ahem- nice things about 70s TV is that the mid/late 70s was the height of the bra less fad in Hollywood. The Match Game 7x reruns on GSN are a perfect example of this - generally speaking, the lower left seat on the dais was filled by actresses/singers like Elaine Joyce (scrumptious!), Joyce Bulifant, Roz "Fonzies girlfriend" Kelly, a young Kate Jackson, Kaye Stevens, etc, a lot of whom wear fairly sheer tops once or so for a weeks worth of shows - all on 70s video tape which had much higher resolution than what was Broadcast Standard for the day. With HD, cable and big screens today - wowza! (Bonnie Franklin of One Day at a Time was particularly notorious for gong braless ALL the time! ) And this was before the PC Cops took over, so lots and LOTS of funny ethnic and other fun stuff in the notorious Match Game questions!

Yeah, with the likes of Gene Rayburn, Rip Taylor, Richard Dawson, and Charles Nelson Reilly cracking wise, you were sure to get something interesting with a question like "'I don't understand it,' said Mary Sue, 'Every time I take a shower, my [blank] falls out.'"

Especially after they've had the taping break for dinner and they're all a little drunk.

And to put this (sort of) back on topic, Shatner shows up occasionally!

If you have Antenna TV in your area, a little notice for this one

Anyhoo, it's always fun to see a bunch of Star Trek alumni in single episodes. In this case, the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea episode The Left handed Man.
