I went to my first ST con held in LA in, it think 1972 or 73. Mr Kelly was wating to get his car and I and two other people asked if we could get his autograph and he said, sure and even though his car was driven to the front of the hotel the con was at, he talked with us for around 45 mins---I was 21 at the time---very kind person.

De Forest Kelley & Jimmy Doohan - we miss you! RIP

DeForest had a rich and unique speaking voice matched only by that of Morgan Freeman.

I love DeForrest's accent.

It's SO good to hear James Doohan and Walter Koenig speak in their normal accents.

I know, it's so sad thinking about them not being around anymore. I'd have loved to meet Deforest.

God Bless, De. You are missed.

Mr Kelly was gorgeous!

This was a very good interview!!!! I love the original Star Trek to this day!!!

That clip is solid gold my friend! I was at a convention around 1975 in NYC (age 12), had those blue prints mentioned. When I saw those guys you could tell they treated the show with respect, it just made Star Trek a great phenomenon. I'd have to say it was De Forrest and James, and George, and Nicole who really grew that fan base in the mid 70's because they were the ones who attended those conventions at that time. I hope there is a part two available so I can see this awesome clip some more!

De and Jim looked very good for guys who where 56 years old.

What a gem of an interview. Great stuff

Love your comment rideon - that the departed crew of the original enterprise is still alive in some part of our universe is a wonderful thought. They're certainly alive in our hearts. I was 8 years old when TOS first aired, and I can't think of a more entertaining, imaginative and inspirational program. Without realizing it, TOS has really shaped my point of view - the future is what we choose to make of it.

Koenig's hair was spectacular in this! SPECTACULAR!!!

Man, I miss seeing De in the movies.

Wow, just listening to the 3 actors they sound like nerdy trekkies! They really are prideful and passionate about star trek

well i just learned that james doohan doesn't actually have an accent

Original crew were soooo good-simon pegg is great but these guys were the best!

i wish the original cast had made more movies

The thing was that they eventually showed the whole five years. The first three was of course, the original series. Years four and five was shown in the animated series.

This is awesome. So glad this stuff is available to view. FUCK the corporate assholes that want to steal things such as this away from us.

8:07 JD is quite prophetic!

Scotty got more lines than Kirk this time (LOL)

Whoa! Look at Bohemian Scotty!

Very cool video. Thanks. Two of the three being interviewed are no longer with us, so it is very special to see a clip like this.

Gosh, almost all of these guys are gone now ... and I miss them. Gene Roddenberry was supposed to be on the show, Deforest, Scotty, Tom Snyder ... Koenig is alive

I miss them Bones and Scotty! Because they are Bones and Scotty, the real ones!!! They still live somewhere in the Universe!

BONES! :oD

very good clip, thank you memoryoita.

Great Q and A!

Interesting what Doohan says at the 8:18 mark, about fans insisting on the original cast, what with the new movie coming out with all new actors.

Notice how nearly all of them are wearing jean collared-jackets...

Roddenberry's Trek is still the best, though the spin-offs did a good job of capturing the spirit of his universe. Abrams' universe is a real departure, though, and I fear for the future of Trek.

well said!

I hope it revives the Star Trek Films/Series.

when was 1976?

Anyone else think that Walter Koenig is sort of annoying?
