In the early months of 1966, a handsome, hardworking
thirty-five-year-old Canadian-born actor named William Shatner was
cast as Captain Kirk in Star Trek, a troubled, low-budget
science-fiction television series set to premiere that fall on NBC.
Star Trek struggled for viewers and lasted only three seasons, but
it found a huge, rabidly dedicated audience when it premiered in
syndication following its cancellation-turning Shatner into a
pop-culture icon and launching him on a career path he never could
have imagined after graduating from McGill University with an
economics degree twenty years earlier. As he approaches his
ninetieth year, he's still working at a furious pace as a man of
boundless contradictions: by turns one of the most dissected,
disliked, revered, respected, mocked, imitated, and beloved stars
in the show business firmament. Shatner takes a comprehensive look
at this singular performer, using archival sources and information
culled from interviews with friends and colleagues to transport
readers through William Shatner's remarkably bumpy career: his
spectacular failures and triumphs; tragedies, including the
shocking death of his third wife, Nerine; and, ultimately, the
resilience Shatner has shown, time and again, in the face of
overwhelming odds. Author Michael Seth Starr unravels the mystery
of William Shatner, stripping away the many myths associated with
his personal life and his relationships with fellow actors,
presenting a no-holds-barred, unvarnished look at the unique career
of an inimitable performer.
