Unseen & Epic: 49 Jaw-Dropping Pics of the Original Star Trek Cast That’ll Blow Your Mind From ’69 to ’79!
25. ‘Big Bad Mama’
William Shatner and Angie Dickinson in a scene from the 1974 cult classic Big Bad Mama. Set during the Great Depression, the film follows Dickinson’s gun-toting matriarch and her daughters on a crime spree across the South—with Shatner playing a smooth-talking con man who gets swept up in their chaos.
26. ‘I’m a doctor, not a public speaker!’
DeForest Kelley addresses a packed ballroom at a 1974 Star Trek convention, bringing his signature warmth and dry wit to the stage. Though famously shy about the spotlight, Kelley quickly became a fan favorite at early cons—often surprising audiences with how different he was from the gruff, sardonic Dr. McCoy. Dressed in classic ’70s tones (hello, turtleneck!), he was soft-spoken, gracious and deeply moved by the fan devotion that helped keep Star Trek alive between its cancellation and big-screen rebirth.
