The Almost-Uhuras for "Corbomite"

[Maurice]

Albeit this information is on Memory Alpha, citing Cash Markman's oft-erroneous "These Are the Voyages Vol. 1", whilst perusing some of the old TOS production docs I ran across the memo he apparently cites. There's no day listed on it, but it appears to be May 1966, and it lists four actresses all to appear at 11:00 am on "Thursday" for the as yet unnamed "Communications" role for "The Corbomite Maneuver". They were:

Nichelle Nichols

I find a number of pages claiming these actresses were in the show as extras, but I find that incredibly dubious, especially given as SAG and SEG were separate guilds at the time. Memory Alpha also cites this as possibly in error.

So, some "what if"s for you to think about.

Great post, thanks! But obviously none of these hot women had a chance compared to the one who was so intimate and accomodating with GR.

I have been thinking about a fact check on this one...

The same casting memo is the source of the equally dubious claim that The Most Interesting Man In The World was on Star Trek.

He wasn't on Star Trek. He was Star Trek.
He doesn't need a phaser to stun.

Maybe when Kirk and company were searching for water on Losira's planet he had one line to speak...."Stay thirsty, my friends."

Tribbles don't multiply until he says it's OK...
He's the reason for Pon Farr...
Kirk learned from him.

He is...The Most Interesting Man In The Galaxy.

What a great name for a band, Maurice.

I love this entire thread! Thanks, everyone.

A mere glimpse of him drives Medusans mad.
He's too hot for Organians to touch.
Supernovas go back in time to avoid him.
He defeated Good AND Evil in an Excalbian experiment.
