I thought I would pay homage to 60s starlet <strong>Arlene Martel <\/strong>who originated the role on the original <em>Star Trek<\/em> in &#8220;Amok Time.&#8221; Below is an excerpt from my interview with her from my McFarland &amp; Co. book, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Drive-Dream-Girls-B-Movie-Starlets-dp-0786471654\/dp\/0786471654\/ref=mt_other?_encoding=UTF8&amp;me=&amp;qid=\">Drive-in Dream Girls<\/a><\/strong>: &#8220;Every time Celia Lovsky pronounced one of the Vulcan words Bill Shatner would whisper something funny about it and get me to laugh, which was terrible to do&#8230; Of course Ms. Lovsky wasn&#8217;t aware of this. But she had difficulty pronouncing the Vulcan words. Bill was like a naughty schoolboy and suddenly I became five years old. At one point, the director[Joseph Pevney] Threatened to throw us both off the set. I have very good concentration, but Bill just broke me up.&#8221; As for Leonard Nimoy, Arlene remarked, &#8220;Leonard was rather removed. Maybe he was maintaining his character&#8211;I don&#8217;t know. Or maybe he genuinely didn&#8217;t like me.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watched the first episode of Star Trek: Strange New Words (which I loved) and was most surprised to see Mr. Spock&#8217;s intended T&#8217;Pring.
