I learned that there is a crucial 10 year period a person must survive if they are going to live long and prosper. 46 to 56. When people die early it’s usually between this 10 year period. If you can make it to 57 there is a good chance you’ll be around long enough to die from natural causes.
@@fluxcapacitor007 He did a fantastic job. I think he and Ricardo Montalban probably had the two most memorable roles in Star Trek. I don't recall his name, but there was one actor who played the role of a Cardassian who imitated a ruthless murderer as a means of trying to pay for the injustices. That was another memorable role.
Leonard Nimoy voiced Galvatron from "the transformers the movie" from 1986 and he voiced Sientinal Prime from "Dark of the moon"....the 3rd live action transformers movie.
@@jaws848 Speaking of Leonard Nimoy, until just recently, I had forgotten that he also hosted the TV series "In Search Of" from the mid to late '70s. Some episodes are right here on RU-vid; I stumbled upon them a few weeks ago.
I think that she only appeared in one episode, "Where No Man Has Gone Before", one of the earliest episodes, also starring Gary Lockwood, who is still alive. Kellerman passed away nearly 2.5 years ago.
@johnbrennan4449 I think that episode was a pilot for the TV show. They didn't sell Star Trek with "The Cage" with Jeffrey Hunter as Captain Pike. So they came up with this episode with Shatner.
Even more depressing is how many of them died younger than the average life expectancy, assuming the numbers here are accurate. However, I didn't take the average of this group, so maybe it does average out. Anyway, our days are numbered.
This is an excellent presentation, albeit a sad one. Unless I missed her, Barbara Baldavin, who played Angela Martine in Star Trek's season 1 episodes "Balance of Terror" and "Shore Leave" and season 3's "Turnabout Intruder" as Communications Officer Teller, recently passed away this past March. My guess is that her passing came after this presentation was prepared. Thinking in particular about the original Star Trek: we've lost so many of the wonderful performers --- stars, co-stars, feature players and guest stars ---- who made the show such a classic. William Shatner, George Takei and Walter Koenig may well be the only ones still with us.
In the case of Anton Yelchin, it was not only an accident, but a freak accident. His jeep slipped out of neutral an pinned him to the iron gate he went to open and crushed him to death.
Paul Winfield, John Schuck, Majel Barrett. All three made appearances on both Star Trek and Babylon 5. Perhaps there were others, but I can't think of any at the moment.
Winfield couldn't catch a break on Star Trek. Played a captain in each of his two appearances in the Trekverse and - 30 year spoiler alert - they both croaked 😭😭!
Karen Steele’s year of death is wrong by ten years. It’s 1988. And Arthur Batanides was born 1923 and died in 2000. I wish people double check everything on videos before posting them
@@jh-sp8es She was also an exceptional aviatrix, having won the Powder Puff Derby one year. She attempted the first female solo flight to Russia but was denied airspace.
They both were superb in the fantastic episodes The Doomsday Machine and The Ultimate Computer respectively. They deserved to be mentioned. Looks like Shatner and Takei are the sole survivors. Left to battle each other until the end of time.
@@frankgesuele6298 When all other studios turned Gene Roddenberry down, it was actually Lucille Ball that saved the Star Trek series. Everyone, including Gene, owed Lucille Ball…
John Colicos was also "Mikos Cassadine" during the "Ice Princess" storyline in the early 1980s on "General Hospital". His widow, "Helena Cassadine", who showed up at Luke and Laura's wedding was late actress Elizabeth Taylor. Yes, I watched General Hospital until the 1990s. John Colicos was also "Baltar" on the original Battlestar Galactica.
And the pic of Meg Wyllie without make up IS Estelle Getty! And Arthur Batanides was in Police Academy 2 AND it was not filmed until 1985! and I do NOT think he played a corps so he did not die in 1969!
That picture of Madge Sinclair is from her role as Geordis Mother (Captain LaForge) the Saratoga Captain (btw, the first female & black captain in Star Trek, nomatter what STD claimed ) would be a Wreth of Khan uniform
Wherever cancer first appears that's what goes on the death certificate. My father had it all through his intestines but since it was first diagnosed in the lungs his cause of death was listed as lung cancer
Pretty good video, in spite of the several errors and many omissions. As someone else mentioned, what about William Windom who's guest starring role in "The Doomsday Machine" was one of the BEST guest star appearances in all of Star Trek ( My favorite TOS episode)😊
Yes & his son Sean Cassidy carries on his father's tradition playing, Son Of Lurch, Sean's 6'7" looks just like his dad, only a couple inches shorter & doesn't have his dad's deep voice, but he does a fantastic job, Ted was a great actor👍✌️
Thank you Star Trek and all it's creative participants.🛐 In the 1960s and early 70s, there were only a few who kept me sane while going through grades 6 through 12: Gene Roddenberry & his franchise, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Firesign Theater and Mad magazine. They all resonated with and validated the way I felt and thought about life. ❤
Arthur betanides died in 2000 not 1969! Even the 2 date dony add up. He would only be 43 in 1969. Unless of course he had jumped into a time dilation bubble, so common out in space. Lisa Banes died of a brain injury. She was struck by a man riding a scooter, not while riding one herself.
I met Persis Khambatta a few years before she died. She was a sweet, lovely person. She was so very nice and pleasant to talk with. A very interesting person. I was saddened to know she had passed. I hope she's happy now. RIP
Of these, the most tragic is Anton Yelchin, he died in a freak accident. He was only 27 and was becoming a star. He was suppose to be at a rehearsal and didnt show up, so his friends went looking for him. They found him in a way, that likely still bothers them.
Grace Lee Whitney was probably the one I was sad about the most. When she disappeared from season 1 it was noticeable. You could tell they were setting up something between her and Kirk early on. I wish they would have carried that through to some extent even if it had ended like TNG with Crusher and Picard. I’m glad she got some roles later on in the movies at least.
@@rossbrumby1957 "you are a devil Hogan." "I try." My 40th birthday was a Hogan's Heroes theme, had it at Currahee Mountain near Toccoa GA, where the "Band of Brothers" trained. DeForest Kelley was from Toccoa. Always imagined Admiral McCoy propping his feet up on his back porch, looking over Easy Company's Currahee run after he retired from Starfleet......
I had a massive crush on Kirsty alley she was such an incredibly beautiful woman i was so sad to see her slip away and pass into whatever awaits us RIP Kirsty you still have my heart.💗
Glad to note that Barbara Babcock is still with us -- she had a couple of lead roles and did voice-overs too, long before winning an Emmy for Hill Street Blues. She did something to me. 😉😏
this is something that is great to see but sad, some of these actors lived long ages. i commend them for the parts they played = i have been a star trek fan for a very long time and believe it or not i am still watching the original star trek.
Jill Ireland alias Leila Kalomi is shown in a Starfleet uniform, but she was a civilian in that episode. Just one of several mistakes in this video. The price of relying too much on AI.
Per Wikipedia After Yelchin failed to arrive at a rehearsal on June 18, 2016, he was found by friends at around 1:10 a.m. on June 19, 2016, pinned between his Jeep Grand Cherokee and a brick pillar gate post outside his house in Studio City, Los Angeles, dead from a freak accident. As Yelchin got out of his car and went to check his locked gate for mail, the vehicle apparently rolled back down his driveway, which was on a steep incline, and trapped him against the pillar and a security fence. Yelchin was pronounced dead at age 27 at the scene;the Los Angeles County Coroner's office identified the cause of death as "blunt traumatic asphyxia" and stated that there were "no obvious suspicious circumstances involved"
