    Doug Drexler is beside himself over on Facebook - he was makeup and effects on pretty much all the Trek shows and movies, and considers everyone from the lowest minion to the loftiest star a friend. Aaron Eisenberg, Dorothy Fontana, Rene, and yesterday Marina's husband... One Trek death that didn't make the big news this week was the head of the makeup dept for (TNG, I think?), who was a dear close Friend of his. His post yesteday for Rene was "what the hell is going on??"

    Not Westmore - a woman whose name escapes me. I probably got her title wrong too. I'll check when I get home.

    The lesson there is "don't worry, be happy." Takei seems to be bouyed by an impish sense of humor.

    I have a feeling Takei’s just hanging on until after Shat goes.

    I'd say Andrew Robinson but apart from him it'd be close.

    Oh well, things are unfortunately going as expected.
