Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Dynasty' star Joan Collins played Edith Keeler in an episode called 'City on the Edge of Forever', which 'Star Trek' series was that part of?

Answer: Star Trek: The Original Series

Joan Collins famously (or infamously perhaps) played Alexis Carrington in 'Dynasty'. Long before that she had a guest role in the 'Star Trek: The Original Series' episode 'City On The Edge Of Forever' as Edith Keeler. Yet another one of Captain Kirk's love interests, but this time with the twist of being in the past.

Other 'Dynasty' stars have appeared in the 'Star Trek' franchise too.

Tracy Scoggins played Monica Scott Colby in 'Dynasty'. Tracy Scoggins is a veteran of cult television these days having appeared in 'The New Adventures of Superman', 'Highlander: The Series', 'Babylon 5' and of course 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine' as a Cardassian, Gilora Rejal, in the episode 'Destiny'.

English actress Stephanie Beacham played 'Sable' Colby in 'Dynasty'. She also played the Countess Regina Bartholomew in 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' episode 'Ship in a Bottle'.

Teri Hatcher played Paris Carver in the Bond film 'Tomorrow Never Dies'. Before this she had gained fame through her role as Lois Lane in 'The New Adventures of Superman'. Her brief appearance came prior to all of this during the episode 'The Outrageous Okona' as Lt. Robinson, a brief love interest for Okona.

Both Christopher Lloyd and Christopher Plummer have played Klingons in 'Star Trek'. Lloyd, of 'Taxi' and 'Back to the Future' fame, played Captain Kruge in 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock'. Plummer played General Chang in 'Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country'.

Ray Walston, most famous for 'My Favorite Martian', appeared in both 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' and 'Star Trek: Voyager' as Boothby - head groundskeeper at Starfleet Academy.

4. Before Kim Cattrall portrayed Samantha Jones in the hit series 'Sex and the City', which of the following 'Star Trek' features did she have a part in as Lt. Valeris?

Answer: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Kim Cattrall has many film and TV roles to her credit. She played Lt. Valeris, Vulcan officer on the Enterprise, in 'Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country'. In this film her character is working against Kirk and company and is found out, then has to endure a memorable mind meld with Spock as he forcefully removes information from her.
5. All actresses have to start somewhere, often with a guest spot on a TV series. Which of the following movie stars made an appearance in 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' before making it on the big screen?

Answer: Ashley Judd

Ashley Judd played Ensign Robin Lefler in two episodes of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' season five ('Darmok' and 'The Game'). All this before she starred in movies such as 'Kiss The Girls' and 'Double Jeopardy'.

Before his death in 2008, Heath Ledger has built a reputation as one of the most talented young stars in Hollywood. He starred in 'The Patriot', 'Brokeback Mountain' and 'The Dark Knight', but never appeared in 'Star Trek'.

Kirsten Dunst is one of those child prodigy actors that seems to have successfully made the difficult transition from child superstar to adult megastar. It was at the age of eleven that she made her one appearance in an episode of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'. A year later she was to appear to great acclaim in 'Interview With The Vampire'. Since then then has achieved success in films such as 'Spiderman' and one of my personal favourites, 'Wimbledon'.

Winona Ryder had to wait until 2009 to make her appearance in J. J. Abrams 'Star Trek' as Spock's mother, Amanda Grayson. Ryder achieved early success with 'Beetlejuice' and 'Heathers' before going on to star in many feature films.

Christian Slater, star of countless films, made a cameo appearance in 'Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country'. He played an officer onboard Captain Sulu's ship, the USS Excelsior. In the scene, Slater's character has to wake the Captain up eventually leading to one of my favourite lines from Mr. Sulu, "Do you have hearing problems, mister?"
