Roddenberry Vault: TOS Part Two "Amok Time"

In this second installment of the Roddenberry Vault review, we examine images and negatives from the quintessential Vulcan episode of TOS, "Amok Time". Here's a negative with Celia Lovsky as T'Pau.

Here's a negative featuring Leonard Nimoy as Spock, deep in the plak tow, as T'Pau looks on.

This next selection is a contact sheet of rare publicity photos featuring Celia Lovsky and William Shatner.  The bottom right shot of Kirk wielding the Lirpa is amazing!

This next series of contact sheets are all images from the infamous fight scene. There are some great shots of Arlene Martel as T'Pring, watching stoically.

Here's a final contact sheet featuring publicity shots of Arlene Martel as T'Pring.

I think this Roddenberry Vault social media project was a wonderful way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Star Trek.  The images and documents are great companions to the Roddenberry Vault Blu-ray collection.

Next Up: Star Trek: The Animated Series!

Remembering Arlene Martel

I was saddened to hear today that Arlene Martel, T'Pring in "Amok Time", has passed away after a heart attack.

Martel's T'Pring was the first female Vulcan we ever met on Star Trek and she would be the prototype for all those who followed.

 

Martel's career spanned seven decades.  She made many memorable appearances on TV series like Twilight Zone, Have Gun - Will Travel and Perry Mason.  More recently, Martel appeared in films like A Walk to Remember and Star Trek: Of Gods and Men.

 

Martel was active on the Star Trek convention circuit, appearing at events like 2012's Spock Days.  She was much beloved by fans and will be dearly missed.  Parted from us, but never parted...
