Edith keeler wasn't pro Hitler for God's sake..she was a pacifist and a sort of a futurist..

@ernestleong476 2 жыл бұрын

Not only that, both the host and guest got the character name wrong. He called her Ruby Keeler, Joan corrected him and said she was Nance Keeler. Of course, it was Edith!

Of course she was pro Hitler! Liberals love gun confiscation, socialism and dividing the classes and races.

@SCZim Жыл бұрын

I caught the same mistake. I can even hear Spock’s voice in my head, explaining that Edith’s peace talks delayed America’s entry into WW2. This enabled Germany to get the A bomb first, then carry those first bombs with their V2 rockets (which BTW, would be technically impossible).

@@dmellis It's not surprising at all that she got that stuff wrong, this was one role in a single episode, among scores of characters she played during her career up to the point of this mid-'70s interview. It simply doesn't mean that much to her.

Joan should have read the whole script more carefully. I assume she just memorized her own lines. She probably wasn't even in the studio when Nimoy explained exactly how her character derailed history.

Indeed. especially as Collins has worn a wig for YEARS as her hair thinned in middle age. And it is also a well known trick to hide the tape used for a 'flying face-lift'.

We know that Shatner had hair replacement procedures of some sort as he got older, but I never thought he was "follicly challenged" in Star Trek. He was about 35 in 1966 when he made Star Trek. I don't think hair replacement technology was that good back in that time. His hairline seemed fine during TOS, to me.

@dalebaker9109 5 жыл бұрын

William, appearance on star trek, was totally fake, he wore shoes with 3 or 4 inch lifts. Had a toupee, to cover the few hairs left, on his head. He had had a bald spot, from 1956. But you can see it from his side, he was a young man, who was an actor, where everything is to do with looks.

@lancebaylis3169 2 жыл бұрын

He used a very sophisticated lattice-type thing on the TV show, and was already balding. In the episode "The Deadly Years" the makeup department initially incorporated some of Shatner's extra scalp into the old-age makeup, but after a day's filming Shatner insisted on a rethink. They never reshot that day's work though which is why at one point in the episode Captain Kirk is balding rapidly, only to grow most of it back again as he gets even older.

@racookster 2 жыл бұрын

In hi-def copies of Star Trek, you can sometimes see the netting at Shatner's hairline (or toupe-line). Since his "hair" was combed back, they had to glue the mesh to his forehead and hide it with pancake makeup. That worked fine for the crappy TV resolution of the mid-'sixties, but it was visible on the film. Back then, nobody dreamed that the show would become so popular, high-resolution copies would be made and people in the 21st century would watch them frame-by-frame.

Shatner's height is listed as 5'10". That wasn't short in the 1960's and it's 4" taller than her listed height.

@rickardcooper6063 2 ай бұрын

Shatner wore lifts (see Cruise, Downey Jr., etc.) and a hairpiece (see Burt Reynolds, Willard Scott, almost entire cast of Bonanza, Steve Harvey and John Travolta) Hollywood is an illusion. Or is it allusion? 🤔

These quotes, or similar ones, are hilarious in Harlan Ellison's book about his script and this episode. I always half wondered if she was misquoted or something, but no. She was actually this clueless...after being in the episode...and talking about it for decades. I think she was embarrassed by Star Trek, had no motivation to understand anything about it, and so purposefully tried to make it sound ridiculous just to prop her own ego up. Someone, somewhere must have corrected her over the years. People had to be constantly asking her about that role, and she had to constantly be saying her character loved Hitler. Did she really think legions of fans would love an episode with a Hitler-loving love interest that gets hit by a truck (not a bus) at the end?

@jeremydavidson9194 3 ай бұрын

Joan used the ''80's cultural trait that geeky tv shows were "uncool" to make herself seem "more cool". And that was very "lame" of her.

It's funny how the attitudes of actors toward Star Trek have changed. In Joan's day, film was the prestige and TV was its poor, embarrassing cousin. Now, post pandemic, TV and internet are the centers of cultural life, with films struggling to bring in audiences. Actors dream of a regular Trek series role because between residuals and conventions, they never have to work again outside of autograph signing and paid selfie taking. They can do theatre, they can do indies, or they can do nothing, and they're set for life.

The timeline of the episode is 1930. An American social worker would have no knowledge of Hitler, and even foreign policy experts would never forecast his success in 1930. According to Spock later in the 30s she becomes a peacenik and somehow turns America pacifist and non interventionist in WW2. Pacificism in the face of Nazism and Japanese militarism is very stupid but it doesn't make the dumb pacifist pro Hitler.

Harlan Ellison knew this was Joan's take on his script and he was mad...but he was mad about every aspect of the episode 😜Actually aside from her getting the year wrong (1936 or '38), her understanding of Edith Keeler is not that far off. Hear me out: the "correct" interpretation is that she's a pacifist and futurist and convinces FDR to not go to war (how she does this after Pearl Harbor is anyone's guess), but whatever her motive, it's the effect that matters. Her actions allow the Ultramagas of the era to get the bomb and win the war. And the America First movement was made up of Fascists like Lindbergh, Communists (because of the Hiter-Stalin Frendship agreement) and Pacifists who wanted "peace". But here's the thing: if Kirk loved her why didn't he tell her the situation and convince her NOT to do that instead of (spoiler) letting her die.
