Handwritten signed recollection by William Shatner on the early days of ''Star Trek'' and the camaraderie that developed between himself, Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley. Composed on his personal stationery, Shatner writes, ''These early shows were quite an exploration. Not just the amount of work memorizing ten pages and preparing ten pages for tomorrow but in getting to know the other players. Obviously I spent most of the time with Leonard and DeForest. We would discuss what we were saying in the script - but also we began to explore each other's brains - I found that Leonard and I had so much in common - same background, same journey up through the ranks - children, wife. It was the beginning of a wonderful friend. DeForest who was a southerner, was different. But what [a] lovely gentleman - beautiful manners, and such a kind way of speaking. He led a settled life and loved the routine of coming to work and going home to his beloved wife - the three of us began to work together as a team - Dialogue between characters can be like a tennis game, the conversational ball batted back and forth can make for good drama but also the audience can sense the camraderie [sic] between the actors. I loved that the camraderie [sic] - I wish I knew how to spell it. / William Shatner''. Single page measures 7.25'' x 10.25''. Near fine condition. Also with an LOA by William Shatner.
