STAR TREK BEHIND THE SCENES IMAGES 2

Last Tuesday (June 10th) I posted a couple of pics (here) illustrating what went on behind the scenes on the Star Trek television series. I thought out of respect to my readers who are perhaps as geeky as I am it was time to put up a few more photos.

Even though Star Trek premiered on September 8th, 1966 -- although Canada's CTV network opened the show on the 6th -- photography on the first pilot show, "The Cage", took place two years earlier; from November 27th to December 18th, 1964. Here we see Jeffery Hunter and Majel Barrett, with Leonard Nimoy facing away from the camera...

Here, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry poses with three Talosians (actress Meg Wyllie, center, stands with Serena Sande and Georgia Schmidt)...

One of my favourite episodes, directed by James Goldstone, who also directed the second pilot show, "Where No Man Has Gone Before", is the pulpy "What Are Little Girls Made Of?". (Shoot dates: July 28th to August 9th, 1966.) This photograph, obviously snapped between takes, shows off William Shatner and guest star Sherry Jackson as they strut their stuff in the android duplication chamber...
