"And while in my lifetime I've seen science make extraordinary inroads into solving the most complex questions of life, after all this time I admit that I am thrilled that there are some things that forever will remain a mystery. For example, do I wear a toupee?"

"May I say that this is the most delightful blog I have discovered in many a moon. It's informative without being cruel, and there's genuine affection for Mr. Shatner. Well done." - A reader's kind comment.

Shatner Says...
- -"Wherever hair grows. Let it grow."
- -"And no, it isn't a toupee..."
- -"How's the hair?"
- -"The hair. I just envy the hair. Is it a dominant gene?"
- "Did you say 'To baldly go'?"
- -"Fear of losing my hair."

- -"I don't wear a hairpiece!"
- -"It's [my hair] I was worried about!"
- "It’s a question that I find like asking somebody, 'Did you have a breast implant?' or 'When did you get your lobotomy?' "
- "Is it a mystery you’ll be taking to your grave?" "Probably."

... and the movie sucks!!
ReplyDeleteIn 1988, when this film was first on television, the Chicago Sun Times wrote: "...Could be the finest dramatic performance in William Shatner's career."
ReplyDeleteAnd the ad from MGM reads "William Shatner gives a gripping portrayal as a parent who forces his rebellious daughter to end her affiliation with a violent gang in this grim tale straight from today's headlines."
