Happy Centenary David Frankham! A Retrospective.

Posted on February 16, 2026 | Leave a comment

Today, February 16, 2026, one of our favorite Star Trek guest stars turned 100!

Happy 100th Birthday David Frankham! You remember him best as Dr. Larry Marvin in Is There in Truth No Beauty?, the doomed, brilliant lover of Dr. Miranda Jones. I always felt sorry for his character!

I had the honor of meeting Mr. Frankham at the Star Trek Original Series Tour in 2016! (I dressed as Dr. Miranda Jones) I can’t believe it’s been 10 years! But what a delight, and he told us many stories of his very varied life as an actor, and of course in Star Trek! You can see my original post about meeting him here.

And indeed, David has had an amazing career. After serving with the British Army in India just after World War II, he landed a job from1948 through 1955 as a BBC Radio interviewer. This job would eventually lead him to acting, where he did everything from television to movies to voice overs! He also starred with his friend Vincent Price in several pictures. (Vincent even gave David furniture for his first apartment in California!) He was also in The Great Santini (1979) with Robert Duvall; who coincidentally just passed away the day before David’s Centennial at age 95 😦

Here’s some images from his amazing life! We love you, David! Carry on!

Return of the Fly 1959 (It seems he often got cast as an unfortunate character!)

As the loyal and brave Sgt Tibbs in 101 Dalmations (1961)

Poor Larry!

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Leonard Nimoy, who would have been 93 today! I’m thankful I had the chance to see him a few times in my life, and just thankful to have been aware of such a wonderful human being. Rest in Serenity.

Remembering Leonard Today.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Leonard Nimoy who would have been 92 today. He was such a wonderful human being; kind, compassionate, caring, and grateful for the life that fame brought him. He never forgot where he came from or took anything for granted. Glad we were along for the ride of the man who brought out the humanity of Spock, and thankful he lived long and prospered.

So This Happened…

Posted on September 8, 2022 | Leave a comment

Recently I wanted to write a post leading up to today, Star Trek Day (September 8th) but the other week, my husband, I, and both of our young adult sons all got Covid within four days of each other. Thankfully, we are all well and recovered now. Please get your vaccines and boosters, it will make the ailment SO MUCH easier to deal with and I have no doubt it saved us from much worse.

So today (September 8th) I was all set to write a post to celebrate Star Trek Day when I heard the sad news that Queen Elizabeth has passed at 96. She had a long, amazing and truly dedicated life to the people of Great Britain, and will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to Her family and the nation that loved her.

I will be posting articles on both of these events soon, and I thank you for your patience. In the meantime, you can check the post for Star Trek Day that I posted 2 years ago here, and you can see the collage I made for Queen Elizabeth’s 70th Anniversary Jubilee earlier this year here.

See you here soon, for now, sending hugs, Therese xo

A Bit Late but no less Sincere- Shatner 90th Birthday Collage!

Posted on March 29, 2021 | 3 comments

Hi Everyone! I know I promised this last week, but life happens (I had a nasty fall last week, but I’m fine now) and I finally finished this today. (Working on a belated Nimoy 90th tribute too)

Happy Belated 90th Birthday to Bill Shatner – what a life! I think I’ve captured a moment from all nine decades you’ve been around. If you look closely, you’ll see pictures with a few couplings of Bill with actors he worked with more than once, dappled with some memorable Kirk moments as well as LOTS of humor. I especially like all the “Bills” having a group ‘hug’ at the bottom. Even Spock is having a laugh! So be sure to zoom in to see all the details!

I hope we can all be as sharp and active as The Shat Man is when we hit 90! Best wishes Always, Therese.

Leonard’s Heavenly 90th

Posted on March 26, 2021 | 5 comments

Hi Everyone!

As many of you know, today, March 26th, would have been Leonard Nimoy’s 90th Birthday! I haven’t forgotten, and as I am almost done with William Shatner’s 90th Birthday collage, I also working on Leonard’s 90th Birthday Tribute Collage too! I would have had both done today, but I had some glitches with my computer (probably from making so many collages!) But I hope to have them BOTH posted here tomorrow!

By the way, Today, in Honor of Leonard’s 90th, Leonard’s home town of Boston Massachusetts has declared today “Leonard Nimoy Day”! I’d like to think he’s enjoying it from above ❤

This declaration of Leonard Nimoy Day makes me so Happy! ❤

Thank you for your patience, and for now, enjoy this, some of my most favorite photos of Mr. Nimoy ever ! ❤ What a pleasure to have lived in the same time period as he did! Happy Heavenly 90th Birthday Sir! We’ll never forget you! ❤

(I took the photo on the right in 2013, a happy day)
If anyone knows what show this is from…
You can almost hear the laugh.
We’ll always have Paris…
