Nichelle Nichols on filming the first interracial kiss on television:

The director whom I knew, and had a great deal of respect for, a very fine director…

Star Trek’s James Doohan was a D-Day hero. At the invasion of Normandy, he killed two snipers and successfully led his men through a mine field. He was also shot four times in the leg, once in the finger, and once in the chest - but a cigarette case his brother gave him was in his front pocket, and it saved his life. Source Source 2 Source 3

“[W]e were in the water, standing on the hull of the ship, and as far as the story’s concerned, the storm’s now over, the whales have been saved, and as we stood there, victorious upon the hull, I said to everybody, “Let’s just have fun with this.” And then I looked over at you, and I knew I’d made a mistake, because I knew exactly what you were going to do. I could see that evil gleam in your eyes, and I knew immediately that you were determined to tear me loose from that fucking thing and throw me in the water.”

“I got a fan letter from a young lady. It was a suicide note.

So I called her, and I said, “Hey, this is Jimmy Doohan. Scotty, from Star Trek.” I said, “I’m doing a convention in Indianapolis. I wanna see you there.”

I saw her — boy, I’m telling you, I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was definitely suicide. Somebody had to help her, somehow. And obviously she wasn’t going to the right people.

I said to her, “I’m doing a convention two weeks from now in St. Louis.” And two weeks from then, in somewhere else, you know? She also came to New York - she was able to afford to got to these places. That went on for two or three years, maybe eighteen times. And all I did was talk positive things to her.

And then all of the sudden — nothing. I didn’t hear anything. I had no idea what had happened to her because I never really saved her address.

Eight years later, I get a letter saying, “I do want to thank you so much for what you did for me, because I just got my Master’s degree in electronic engineering.”

That’s…to me, the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.

I cry every time.

The look on his face in the last one. He is just glowing he is so proud.

You never know how you can help someone.

reblogged this at warp 10…wow

This will always get reblogged.

And this is why Trek is so important.

“It’s very weird giving him notes on being Mr. Spock, but he is, as always, the most gentlemanly, prepared, sweet guy - as long as you give him coffee ice cream, which he’s obsessed with.”
