Happy birthday Andrea Dromm, born February 18, 1941.

Andrea Dromm portrayed Yeoman Smith in “Where No Man Has Gone Before”, the second pilot episode of Star Trek: The Original Series.

Dromm was the second actress to play a captain’s yeoman, after Laurel Goodwin, who played yeoman J.M. Colt in the first, un-aired pilot, “The Cage”.
Her appearance on Star Trek’s second pilot episode was actually Dromm’s very first outing as actress in the motion picture industry. Contracted for four days of shooting, Dromm received a fee of $450.00. (These Are the Voyages: TOS Season One, 1st ed., p. 85)
Though considered for a recurring role, Dromm had a decision to make, “I was offered a role in “The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming”. They told me that you either do the film or the series. I chose the film, but if I had known that Star Trek would become such a phenomenon, I probably would have opted for the series.

Rittenhouse Archives, honored her with two autograph cards, numbers A174 and DA15, as part of their 2008 Star Trek: The Original Series – 40th Anniversary: Series 2 trading card set.

Remembering Marc Lawrence, born February 17, 1910.

Remembering Marc Lawrence, born February 17, 1910 and passed away in 2005.

Marc Lawrence (born Max Goldsmith) was an American character actor who specialized in underworld types. He has also been credited as F. A. Foss, Marc Laurence and Marc C. Lawrence.

In 1930, Lawrence befriended another young actor, John Garfield. The two appeared in a number of plays before Lawrence was given a film contract with Columbia Pictures.

Lawrence’s film debut came in 1933. Lawrence’s pock-marked complexion, brooding appearance and New York street-guy accent made him a natural for heavies, and he played scores of gangsters and mob bosses over the next six decades. Later, Lawrence found himself under scrutiny for his political leanings. When called before the House Un-American Activities Committee, he admitted he had once been a member of the Communist Party. He named Sterling Hayden, Lionel Stander, Anne Revere, Larry Parks, Karen Morley and Jeff Corey as Communists. He was blacklisted and departed for Europe, where he continued to make films. Following the demise of the blacklist, he returned to America and resumed his position as a familiar and talented purveyor of gangland types. He played gangsters in two James Bond movies: 1971’s Diamonds Are Forever opposite Sean Connery, and 1974’s The Man with the Golden Gun opposite Roger Moore. He also portrayed a henchman opposite Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man (1976) and a stereotypical Miami mob boss alongside Jerry Reed and Dom DeLuise in the comedy Hot Stuff (1979).

One of his last roles was as Mr. Zeemo in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “Badda-Bing Badda-Bang”, which aired in February 1999. Previously he played the elderly Gatherer Volnoth in the 1989 Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “The Vengeance Factor”.

His final film role was in Looney Tunes Back in Action (2003), appearing as an Acme Corporation vice president.

Lawrence directed Nightmare in the Sun (1965).

Lawrence died of heart failure on November 28, 2005 at the age of 95. He was buried at Westwood Memorial Park in Westwood, California.

Happy birthday Becky Ann Baker, born February 17, 1953.

Becky Ann Baker, formerly known as Betty Gelke, is a television, film, and stage actress from Fort Knox, Kentucky, who played the Nechani guide in the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Sacred Ground”.

Baker has also made guest appearances on L.A. Law, Frasier, Sex and the City, Oz, and Law & Order, and also had a recurring role on the WB series Life As we Know It. However, she is perhaps best known to TV audiences for her featured role as Jean Weir on the acclaimed but short-lived “dramedy” Freaks and Geeks, which ran during the 1999-2000 season and has acquired a cult following. She also made an appearance in the supporting role of Nancy Chambers in director Sam Raimi’s 1998 thriller A Simple Plan, which garnered Baker a Blockbuster Entertainment Award as “Favorite Supporting Actress” in the suspense genre.

On Broadway, Baker performed several roles (and was understudy for a few others) in the original production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas from 1978 through 1982. She also performed in the return engagement from March through July of 1982. Her later Broadway productions included a 1988 revival of A Streetcar Named Desire, the original musical Titanic from 1997 through 1999, and the musical Assassins in 2004.

After making her film debut in the 1985 Jackie Chan action film The Protector, Baker went on to have a supporting role in the 1988 drama Full Moon in Blue Water, starring Teri Garr. In 1990, Baker played in the war drama Come See the Paradise. Other films in which Baker has appeared include the 1986 action-drama Agent on Ice, the 1990 thriller Blue Steel, the acclaimed 1990 horror/thriller Jacob’s Ladder, the 1992 drama Lorenzo’s Oil, the 1995 remake of Sabrina, the 1996 comedy I’m Not Rappaport, the 1997 science fiction blockbuster Men in Black, 1997’s In & Out, 1998’s Celebrity, 2002’s Two Weeks Notice, and Steven Spielberg’s 2005 remake of War of the Worlds.

Baker had a role in the controversial film Death of a President, which involves the fictional assassination of US President which opened in limited release on October 27, 2006. She also appeared in Spider-Man 3, in which she and James Cromwell played the parents of Gwen Stacy.
