1974 article: Bill and Marcy's Honeymoon Haven

The old scrapbook opens this time to a two-page spread from the September 15, 1974 issue of the tabloid "National Tattler." The article takes us to a happier time and place in Bill and Marcy's relationship. Not the kind of article I hyperventilated over back then, but still about one of the stars of the show, so that qualified it to be clipped. Whenever we took my Grandma shopping, she would pick up several of the tabloids, and when she was done with them, I would scan through them for any tidbits, articles or photos that had to do with Trek (or any genre I was interested in). Scissors in hand, they would be clipped for the scrapbook!

Bonus: below, a detail from a cast publicity shot taken at the start of "ST:TMP," where Nichelle puckers up and plants an impromptu smack on Gene. Nice! Needless to say, this was not a shot used in general publicity...

Bonus: You see below one of the greeting cards put out in the late 70's, of which I bought most. I posted one earlier, which you can view here, as well as a photo of the card store display; and I'll add more as bonus items all along in the future. The text inside this one says "Hope you're back on the right trek soon!" I suppose this was a card you gave to someone that had made a bad decision in their lives....

And below is an ad found in Starlog magazine for the cards.
