What would a fourth season have looked like?

I went back to edit but don't seem to have overstrike capabilities.

Press the + icon to the right of the filmstrip.

The beep from turning filmstrips in the 70s just went through my head. Thank you.

Grace Lee Whitney in her autobiography confirmed that she had overheard that Roddenberry employed Dromm because he wanted to score with her but she wryly assumed he struck out because she never made it past the pilot.

I don’t think this is right. Whitney quotes a passage from Inside Star Trek by Herb Solow, where Solow recalled an anecdote told to him by director James Goldstone about Dromm (p.73).

Indeed, I don’t see any direct comment from Whitney about Dromm at all, but Whitney does say (in a section where she also indicates Gene Roddenberry sexually harassed her relentlessly) that maybe she would have lasted longer if she had just slept with Gene.

That's really bad! If they're not interested in sleeping with you, you don't continue the pursuit! You have to retain some dignity and the other person's rights!

Yeah when I said she 'overheard' I was being rather loose with my terminology. Not every actress that appeared in Trek got there via this particular casting couch though and Grace made it clear she was cast because her test ratings in Police Story had been high. The scandal is what happened to those women who refused to put out? Were they denied work unjustly?

When you look at Roddenberry's behaviour compared to say Kevin Spacey, Roddenberry sounds like he was even worse.

Incidentally, there is a Facebook page supposedly run by Dromm. No idea if it's the real thing.
