“You could name the great stars of the silent screen who were finished; the great directors gone; the great title writers who were washed up. But remember this, as long as you live: the producers didn't lose a man. They all made the switch.

“It was a few days later I came out to Hollywood for a screen test, and so did a lot of other people. So, I really didn't think I would get it. I was definitely the one that was least likely to get it, because everyone else was an already established star.” PeopleThinkingStarsTestsHollywoodScreens Author:Mary Steenburgen
“In primary school when I was 6-7 years old, I always go to theater with my uncle, and I don't know why I like the atmosphere, dark only.

“I existed before Star Trek. I started in live television. I was there when the cameras were as big as a table, had internal fans that were whirring and tubes that, because of the heat, had to come right up to our face for a close-up. Now, we are talking about green screen and putting us in locations that we'll never visit. What has happened to us is a miracle, and the miracle is our inventiveness. The tragedy of our lives is also our inventiveness.” BigsFacesLife IsStarsTalkingOur LivesHappenedFansTelevisionMiracleTragedyCamerasTablesGreenScreensHeatInternalsLocationTubesInventivenessLive Television Author:William Shatner
“My approach to 'Star Trek' was, 'I know science fiction, and I know screen writing.'

“I'll remember this to my grave. We all walked into a room to see the screen tests. The first screen test was Marion Hutton's. Then came Janis Paige [who ended up with a part in the film].
