I would be remiss in my duties as proprietor of Retrospace to neglect to inform you that Chris Pine, the guy playing Kirk in the new Star Trek movie, is the son of Robert Pine, Sgt. Joseph Getraer on CHiPs.
His maternal grandmother was Anne Gwynne, who starred in some '40s horror movies & was a big WWII pinup girl. I wondered how a virtual "nobody" got such a prime role as Kirk; turns out he's 3rd generation Hollywood!
like father....like son :)
ReplyDeleteWell it gives the new kirk street cred just to know that is dad had a Mego action figure made of him,just like the origional Kirk.
ReplyDeleteI had no clue about that. Thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteWow. Your Nerd-Fu is strong!
