    Always thinking of the outtake where she’s talking to a Starbase and a guy off-camera does a fake feminine voice in response to her line and her eyes just light up and she says “Hey, suger.” in the most genuinely sultry voice I’ve ever heard her use.

      In most other circumstances, I think it would have been sort of creepy, but I went to a Star Trek convention as a kid just after Star Trek V came out and she was the guest and some fan came up to the mic during questions time and said, “I don’t have a question, I just saw Star Trek V and I wanted to tell you that you still have the best legs in the galaxy.”

      Like I said, creepy in many instances, but she was 57 when he said it and she spent years as a dancer (she’s one of the main dancers in the film of Porgy and Bess), so she definitely appreciated the compliment. It got a massive cheer too, and not just from the men.
