Billboard. Star Trek. ABBA. American Idol. Eurovision Song Contest. Philip K. Dick. I think that about says it.
When Bjo & John Trimble produced a science-fiction film convention in Los Angeles, Mayor Yorty proclaimed it “Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Week” in the city. Here I am with John, Nichelle Nichols, and, in costume, Janos Prohaska, whose Star Trek roles included the Horta and the Mugato.

Catherine O’Hara… she was great. I always liked her attitude. I hadn’t seen this in years and a fan shared it with me. May her memory be a blessing.

I don't eat a lot of sweets, but I can't resist when #Oreo introduces a new flavor. I just suggested a new one I'm sure they will go for: Cobb Salad.

I was the network publicist for the first two seasons of Sanford and Son. I loved working with Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson and am very sorry to hear of Demond's passing. I have so many great memories of him. (and Redd). I wish I had a photo of me with Demond, but I do have this one.

59 years ago today, I went to my neighbor's house so I could watch "The Man Trap" in color. We had a color TV, but my parents wanted to watch something else. Later they attended #StarTrek conventions with me and I brought them to the set of #TNG during season 1 ("Too Short A Season").
