Happy memorial birthday to #CharlesWashburn, 1st-ever African-American 2nd Asst Director in Hollywood, in 1967 on #StarTrek at #Desilu! And yes, the role of damage control team member Lt. Washburn in #TheDoomsdayMachine was indeed named for him. #drtrek #trekland #TOS #startrek60 #desilu

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to @[email protected] — #GeneCoon’s #StarTrek #TOS assistant at #Desilu, friend of #MLK, #MedgarEvers, and #MalcolmX, and activist in 60s L.A. Her must-read book “From Slavery To the Stars"" is available now! www.andreeakindryd.com #drtrek #trekland #fromslaverytothestars

ON THIS DATE *61* YEARS AGO a young #LeonardNimoy and #MajelBarrett came into #Desilu for the *first* pass make-up takes for their complex (!) alien looks at the start of filming #StarTrek 's “The Cage” (or is that tinged light green testing for Susan Oliver’s Vina? 😉) #trekland #TOS #drtrek

Happy memorial birthday to the amazing and many-hatted #BobJustman, pioneer producer of #StarTrek #TOS and founding #TNG who would have been 99 today! He's also the guy who saved my butt when I had 3 months to write the original #TNGCompanion! #trekland #drtrek #larrynemecek #desilu

Happy memorial birthday to #CharlesWashburn, 1st-ever African-American 2nd Asst Director in Hollywood, in 1967 on #StarTrek at #Desilu! I met Charlie in '07 for some #TNG 20th anniv pieces I staff-wrote for the OG StarTrek.com. #drtrek #trekland #TOS #charliewashburn #charliestartrek
