Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted December 7, 2018 15 hours ago, Arsewipe said: So out of the remaining TOS main cast, what will the order of death be? I'd go: Nichols - Has dementia and apparently on her last legs Shatner - Looks great for his age but that beer belly has to catch up with him sooner rather than later Koenig - Don't know anything about his health but looked decent in a recent photo, plus outlived his 53 years younger replacement....... Takei - Youngest of the lot with no reported health concerns Pretty much agree but might swap Koenig and Shatner. Koenig has a history of heart problems.

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted July 18, 2020 Posted this in the Yanks Science Fiction thread, not realising there was a Star Trek thread, despite searching. @time steered me right, so I'll re-post here: Following on from the death of John Winston announced last month (seemingly only posted elsewhere on here), I thought I'd take a look at how Star Trek's doing. Obviously quite a few of the notables have passed away (Roddenberry, Majel Barrett, Nimoy, Kelley, Doohan, Whitney, Lenard), but a few are still with us, plus a whole host of bit-part players and guest performers. I've done research into all three seasons of The Original Series and may do more of the series and films (although I had a look at The Motion Picture and after the principals there's shedloads of extras and single scene actors so it may be tricky to work out who's worth doing). Here's an (I hope) exhaustive list of everyone still with us from Season 1 of The Original Series, organised by age with those I have little to no idea of at the bottom. I'll add Seasons 2 and 3 when I get a chance. I've included some notes, where relevant and apologies for any inconsistencies, it was quite hard work! William Shatner (Captain James T. Kirk) – 22/3/31 (89) Nichelle Nicholls (Lieutenant Uhura) – 28/12/32 (87) George Takei (Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu) – 20/4/37 (83) Walter Koenig (Ensign Pavel Chekov) – 14/9/36 (83) Marc Adams (Hamlet in The Conscience of the King) – 9/10/25 (94) Memory Alpha (Star Trek wiki) suggests he’s still alive but last reference to him is from 2005 Robert Brown (Lazarus in The Alternative Factor) – 17/11/26 (93) Tom Troupe (Lieutenant Harold in Arena) – 15/7/28 (91) William Sargent (Dr Thomas Leighton in The Conscience of the King) – 28/11/30 (89) Currently resides in Salt Lake City according to Memory Alpha John Gabriel (Crewman in The Corbomite Maneuver) – 25/5/31 (89) Christopher Held (Sociologist Lindstrom in The Return of the Archons) – 19/9/31 (88) Appears to also go by the name Carl Held Emily Banks (Yeoman Tonia Barrows in Shore Leave) – 23/1/33 (87) Robert Sampson (Sar 6 in A Taste of Armageddon) – 10/5/33 (87) Michael Barrier (Lieutenant DeSalle in The Squire of Gothos, This Side of Paradise and Catspaw) – 8/7/33 (87) Brief acting career, later entered the legal profession, becoming a legal officer for the US Coast Guard in Long Beach, CA, as of 2007 was a substitute teacher in southern Washington according to Memory Alpha William Knight (Amorous Crewman in The Naked Time) – 6/12/33 (87) Shirley Boone (Ruth in Shore Leave) – 22/5/34 (86) Ralph Maurer (Bilar in The Return of the Archons, S.S.
