Teri Garr was also in a 1968 episode of the original Star Trek (“Assignment: Earth), which was supposed to spin off into its own series. She had such a bad experience she has refused to talk about what happened.
Wow has it been a year already! I recall her stating in an interview that she was happy “Assignment Earth” was never picked up as a series or she would have been answering Star Trek questions for the rest of her life; but I don’t recall her relating a bad experience with the show. Here’s my note on Garr’s “big break” on Star Trek.
Teri’s big break came in 1968 when she appeared as Roberta Lincoln, the ditzy “hippychick” secretary in Assignment Earth, episode 55 of the original Star Trek. Who can forget that psychodellic pink and orange mini-skirt!
The episode was designed as the pilot of a spin-off series, and lots of high-power agents were after interviews for their clients. One of Garr‘s competitors was Dawn Wells, fresh off Gilligan’s Island. But the show’s creator, Gene Roddenberry, took a special interest in Garr, saying she had “a good quality all of her own.”
“I didn’t dare hope I’d get any further,” recalls Garr, “but…I was dizzy with joy — and that dizziness helped me get into character.”
