At 10:20 p.m. Aug. 9, William Shatner, the “Star Trek” star who once hosted the TV action show “Rescue 911,” made a dramatic, real-life emergency call. Gripped with panic and barely able to get the words out, Shatner pleaded for help from a 911 dispatcher minutes after discovering the body of his wife, Nerine, at the bottom of their swimming pool.

1966–1969: Star Trek on television

Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek (1966–1969)
Star Trek: The Original Series
Shatner was cast as Captain James T. Kirk for the second pilot of Star Trek, titled "Where No Man Has Gone Before". He was then contracted to play Kirk for the remainder of the show, and he sat in the captain's chair of the USS Enterprise from 1966 to 1969. During its original run on NBC, the series achieved only modest ratings, and it was cancelled after three seasons and seventy-nine episodes. Plato's Stepchildren, aired on November 22, 1968, earned Shatner a footnote in the history of American race relations: a kiss that Captain Kirk planted on the lips of Lieutenant Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) is often cited as the first example of a white man kissing a black woman on scripted television in the United States. In 1973, Shatner returned to the role of Kirk, albeit only in voice, in the animated Star Trek series, which ran for two seasons and twenty-two episodes.
