Here's a photo of Nichelle, taken either during the filming of Trek or just before, that has come to light... one that I have never seen before. I had to share it with you immediately! <i>(Click on the images to see full-size, as always.)</i><br />

<b>Bonus: </b>Below, a fake "vintage" ad that I created using an actual photo of Shatner taking a dramatic smoke break. The professional lighting and look of Bill in the shot seemed to suggest an ad, so I put it in the framework of an existing ad from the 60's. This is not endorsing smoking, but is making the best use of a photo that was perfect for the ad!</div>

I have just created a Facebook group devoted to collecting his art in one place, so if you, like me, love his art and have good memories of it, come join us!

By then, they were getting bigger and fancier, with color photos of much of the material within. Whereas the original ones from the 70's were in a newspaper format (which was fun to read then, but hard to scan now), the newer ones were in magazine format, though still on newsprint paper. This issue from 1983 included material from both ST:TMP and The Wrath of Khan. However, it still contained older material from their earliest catalogs, like Kung Fu, Search, and Gene's several made-for-tv pilots. This post contains the first half of the catalog, the second half will be posted soon.<br />

However, I didn't want this to prevent me from presenting an article in what remained, concerning a set visit during the filming of the third season episode "Day Of The Dove." If any fans reading this recognize the fanzine, please comment and tell me the title.<br />

Of course, in reading it, your view of the article will be influenced by your own views and beliefs. My own align with the writer of the article. But that doesn't diminish my enjoyment of the series or movies, as I know what to enjoy and accept, and what to reject and ignore, based on my own internal worldview.<br />

You can never have too much vintage Nichelle! Here are a couple of new ones to me. First, Nichelle in a still from her guest spot on the 70's "Tarzan" series episodes "The Deadly Silence: Part 1 & 2" as she played a character named Ruana. One can easily imagine this is Uhura on leave after the first five-year mission, on a visit to Earth and her Bantu home and family in the United States of Africa.<br />
<br />
In real life, the series was concurrent with Trek, from 1966-68. Since this episode was aired on 10-28-66, Trek was already in production by a couple of months, so she may have taken off from Trek to run over to the filming locations of "Tarzan," since it was also on NBC. I wonder if it coincided with any of her absences on Trek?<br />

Below, a rare candid photo of Nichelle after a guest appearance at an early 70's New York City Star Trek convention. We see Leonard Nimoy goofing around in a very familiar way with Nichelle, with writer Harlan Ellison in the background. (With tinted glasses and an arm around her waist.) Note the convention "Crew" badge worn by the lady on the left. It appears that Nichelle is in the middle of, or very close to, a "nip slip" in this photo! Copies of this photo are for sale on <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Leonard-Nimoy-Nichelle-Nichols-Harlan-Ellison-After-Star-Trek-Convention/352543335609?hash=item52153864b9:g:P50AAOSwGXtXgoyJ" target="_blank">ebay, here</a>.</div>

Anyone that has a passing familiarity with this blog knows about my fixation (some would call it obsession) with Uhura, as played by Nichelle Nichols. So, when previously unseen photos are brought to light, it is cause for rejoicing on my part! (At least, they are new to me.) Here are a few more, the first a stunning one catching her exiting her home and striking a pose... followed by several taken before her Trek days, when she was focusing on her singing and dancing. A perfect example of striking beauty, grace and style!<br />

Below is the entire interview with Bill Shatner, conducted just after the series had ended, in 1969.<br />

Since my grandmother's house was a haven where I could be myself and read what I wanted, and where I stored my collection of magazines and comics to keep them safe from my stepdad, I ordered both and had them delivered to her house. A few weeks later when I visited again, they had arrived and were waiting for me! It was an exciting afternoon and evening, I can tell you that, as I soaked in all the great stuff contained therein.<br />
<br />
Below you will find scans of the issue's first half, with the second half coming soon.<br />

The Famous Orion Makeup Test!William McCullar's IDIC Page, sadly defunct now, made available this very rare image of Majel Barrett (M. Leigh Hudec at the time) when she was screen-testing the makeup for the Green Orion Slave Girl.<br />
<br />
The “green girl” was the creation of Fred Phillips who also made Spock’s Vulcan look for the original Star Trek television series. Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry recalled in The Making of Star Trek (1968) how Phillips grew increasingly frustrated as three consecutive makeup screen tests, in which Roddenberry’s future wife Majel Barrett had been painted green, came back negative.
"Now, Fred Phillips is an exceptionally fine makeup artist and recognized as a top pro in the business. He did a thorough job with the makeup and was quite satisfied with the results.
Imagine everyone’s surprise, upon viewing the developed film the next day, to find the actress’ face just as normally pink skinned as ever! There was no trace of green."
Gene’s orders to Fred Phillips: “Paint her greener!” The following day the test film again showed her as pink skinned as ever. Even Fred was dumbfounded. Recalling the incident, he says, “We did this three days in a row. We had her so green you couldn’t believe it and she kept coming back pink! Finally we figured out what was happening. The technician over at the film lab would receive the film every day and run it through the development solution. As the image formed on the film, he kept saying to himself, ‘My God, this woman is green!’ And so he kept correcting the film developing process in order to turn her back to normal skin color again!”<br />

Is it any wonder that she shaped my perception as to standards of beauty as a young man? Also, I now want a hotdog for lunch.... a $10 hotdog with all the trimmings.<br />

Actually, it is cut together from game footage with new scenes filmed and added to flesh out the story. For those fans who thought they had seen the last of Captain Kirk, Sulu, and Chekov, this video is a welcome discovery. We get the added bonus of Christopher Plummer reprising his role of General Chang (and find out how he lost that eye)! I wish that Nichelle Nichols had been in it, also. It's not theatrical movie quality; not even TV-movie quality acting on the part of the cadets. But, just to see some of the old crew again... makes it worth it!

Now, Lucky US!Most of the time, this blog is publishing items in my collection. But sometimes, when something extraordinary from Trek's past shows up, I will feature it, like the time <a href="http://mystartrekscrapbook.blogspot.com/2013/03/phaser-rifle-prop-found.html" target="_blank">the original Phaser Rifle turned up</a>. Today, I saw a post shared by Trek contributor <a href="https://www.facebook.com/doug.drexler.7?hc_ref=NEWSFEED" target="_blank">Doug Drexler</a> that came from one Edward Barocela that revealed a wonderful story of a visit to the Star Trek soundstages and a photo not seen since.<br />
<br />
Here is the photo:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h7K_dpoA8Yk/V9LdV7ax9RI/AAAAAAAAMwE/4_lxDlRpBiA7uSBexi22wHt-0mnDJnDHACLcB/s1600/14199373_1260915563921722_504078669502299206_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="422" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-h7K_dpoA8Yk/V9LdV7ax9RI/AAAAAAAAMwE/4_lxDlRpBiA7uSBexi22wHt-0mnDJnDHACLcB/s640/14199373_1260915563921722_504078669502299206_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And the story behind the photo:<br />
<br />
Edward Barocela posted to the group STAR TREK - The Original and ONLY Timeline:<br />
<br />
"Nearly 49 years ago, my father Edward Sr., a motion picture engineer, was hired by Film Effects of Hollywood to work on upgrading the optical printers. One Saturday, my brother and I were out with Dad as he ran some errands. He stopped off at work and left us in the lobby of the building as he went inside to do something. Presently, a man walked by and noticed us by ourselves, bored and fidgeting. He said, "Hey, kids, do want to see a real spaceship?" Naturally we said yes, and he gave us directions to a set of double doors. We went through the doors and found ourselves on a small soundstage. And there she was: the Starship Enterprise. They let us work the control console to turn the big model's lights on and off, and to run the engine dome rotors at different speeds. They also let us handle the shuttlecraft and Romulan ship models. Needless to say, this experience made huge impression on me. I was 10 years old.
Years later, my mother sent me this photo. I didn't even remember that anyone had taken pictures at the time."<br />
