RIP Gene Winfield, June 16, 1927 – March 4, 2025.
His contributions to the original Star Trek series were profound. Here’s an article we did about him and one of his better-known works:

Possibly the 1st-ever #StarTrek TV parody was the sketch STAR TRIP: WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA ROBOT? on the 2nd-ever episode of the CAROL BURNETT SHOW, Sept. 18, 1967. It begins at 18:09 in the linked video. Guest Sid Caesar played Mr. Spook.

Leonard Nimoy, March 26, 1931 - February 27, 2015.
On an overcast and rainy day in April 1967, before Star Trek's second season started filming, Mr. Nimoy gave an outdoor performance in Agawam, MA. He sang, played his guitar, read poems, told stories, and answered questions from the audience.

#OTD 60 years ago, the first piece of #StarTrek music was recorded. This was a pre-record for "Vina's Dance" from the pilot episode, "The Cage." This is what Susan Oliver danced to on set and was by Desilu music director Wilbur Hatch. The final cue in the episode was composed by Alexander Courage.
