Alan Paine's Top Ten
Women of "Star Trek"
The Guest Stars
As a personal web page, the following represents a purely subjective opinion on
the merits of the many wonderful female guest stars of “Star Trek” and their
impact on the particular episodes. They
are not judged here on beauty, for they are all fabulously beautiful.
They are not judged on performance, for each one gives a splendid
performance. My top ten female
guest stars are rated and remembered for their screen presence and screen time. Screen time is easy to quantify and really the writers and
producers have the final say on this matter.
Screen presence is much harder to quantify, if not define.
It is defined here as that quality of persona that rivets us to the
screen. It is also referred to as
Star Quality. Great presence on
stage or screen, not only effects an audience, whether real or virtual, but also
affects fellow actors, scenes, and perhaps an entire production.
Still, here lays the opinions of one man.
And, though they are rated from one to ten, they are all champions who
helped make “Star Trek” the most successful franchise in the history of
television and film, if not all media.
