Mr . Spock
Captain James T . Kirk
CURATOR’S NOTE: “Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) ear tip appliances were baked each morning in the home oven of lead make-up artist Fred Phillips for Star Trek: The Original Series , and this pair was acquired from his estate and sold by Christie’s. These U.S.S. Enterprise bridge tunics of Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) are especially coveted, made from a soft velour that was exclusive to season 1 episodes. This fabric would later be replaced by a less form-fitting polyester that could conceal the changing weight of a certain captain, who was known to frequent craft service tables. I acquired Uhura’s uniform & boots from Anita Doohan, wife of fellow cast member James Doohan, who portrayed ship engineer Montgomery ‘Scotty’ Scott. She managed Ms. Nichols, and these pieces were set aside for a charity auction that never came to fruition, remaining in her possession until I acquired them in the early-1990s.” - James Comisar
