She does look it, but in reality actress Frances Nguyen is Vietnamese.

[@deantheodosiou2886]

Indeed. And yet, her name is Elaan...of Troyius. Derived from none other than Homer, pre-eminent ancient Greek storyteller. That's Hollywood!

[@mumblesbadly7708]

I always wondered why Scotty didn’t have some emergency supply of dilithium crystals on the ship for a circumstance such as this. #CriticalRedundancy

[@nathanfitzgerald6651]

During the scene when this Dohlman was on a tour of the engineering section, she sneers, "Engines are for mechanics and menials." Then when Kirk enters and confronts her arrogance she actually says, "We've given your crew permission not to kneel in our presence. What more do you want?"

France Nuyen as Elaan one of her best performance even with the extra make up. Far as Im concerned she could have stayed that way even in real life!

[@johcafra]

Nuyen and Shatner were on Broadway in The World of Suzie Wong, opening in October 1958. And it's good to see Robinson not chew up the scenery and still get his character across.

[@jjgrey1488]

Gosh I would've LOVED to have seen THAT...what a show that must have been! Big fan of Nguyen's and of the Suzie Wong movie...

I didn't realize how sheer some of the female costumes were until better editions were released.

[@indriadrayton1132]

That orange dress... Then the dress this chick wore on the bridge. It had no sides, giving the impression of no underwear.

Some was so sheer that they had to be glued onto the actresses & took some skin with it when removed.

[@laniejuanitawhitehurst1624]

So advanced civilization are so beyond the libido stage that covering modestly wasn’t an issue except for James T Kirk who was hyper-libidinous

[@BigSlimyBlob]

Theiss was the one who designed the costumes. The "Theiss Titillation Theory" states that, for a costume to be sexy, the amount of skin wasn't the primary factor; instead, it must look like the slightest disturbance will cause it to fall off. And indeed, a lot of these costumes simply wouldn't have held on their own. As a result, they had to use a lot of tape to keep them on the girls.

[@terryrose4804]

"Dr. Shrinker" looks a bit green!

[@johnherlihy326]

Interesting that Jay Robinson played Ambassador Petri - he had a breakdown after playing Caligula in "The Robe" and "Demetrius and the Gladiators".

She still looks handsome for a woman in her early 80s. Right now she could pass for her 60s.

I remember the paperback Star Trek books. They originally had this chick as a silvery blonde. Roddenberry flipped it and gave homegirl some braids and a tan!!!

[@rubiks6]

The skin color is hers.

I think the actor with the green face played Caligula in another movie in the 50s or early 60s. I recognize the voice.

[@randys6220]

I watched an old an episode of the old Kung Fu TV series that aired in 1974 where France Nuyen & William Shatner were portrayed as husband and wife. France did not look hot or cute anymore even though she was in nice clothes and wearing makeup for the character. She looked like she was around age 45 or so (lost weight/bony in the face). I was shocked to find out since she was born in 1939 France was only about age 35 when that episode aired.

[@mccallwd]

Too bad they didn't carry spare crystals

[@thiagodeandrade7081]

So she is "poisonous", in which she can influence the behaviour of men (basically everyone onboard), including the Capitain. No measures to prevent that were taken. I suppose it is more exciting this way.

[@jimmyzhao2673]

I though the Women in Star Trek were supposed be green ?

[@davebolter9111]

I didn't think much of this episode when I was young. Now France is looking VERY HOT. Extremely easy and doable.
