90 isn't bad at all, and much better than the reboot Chekov, at 27.

So now we have only Kirk and Sulu left from the original main cast.

Michael Forest, who guest starred as Apollo in "Who Mourns for Adonis," died just a couple weeks ago, at 97.

Star Trek actor Walter Koenig, 90.
link to original post



I sold him a few cheap comics at a convention around 1988. Star Trek wasn't nearly as big as it is now, and he was there to give a speech and sign autographs. We had a nice conversation, and I offered to give him the three or four books he selected, but he insisted on paying. He gave my assistant a very nicely inscribed autograph.
Rest in Peace.

He played an ensign to George Takei’s lieutenant, but Koenig was actually a half-year older than Takei.

He had to cancel a week before the 60th anniversary Las Vegas convention in August.

Seemed like a down-to-earth actor and human being.

In real life, he had an exceptional smile. I have no idea if they were his originals, but it actually distracted me during our short conversation.

I had a big crush on her in the early 70s when she was on ‘McMillan & Wife’ with Rock Hudson. That was a great show, but I bet it's unwatchable now. It was 50 years ago.
