Who played Lt. Saavik in the Star Trek movies?

Lt. Saavik, who is half Vulcan and half Romulan, was played by two different actresses. Kirstie Alley originally portrayed Lt. Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn. Also, Robin Curtis portrayed Lt. Saavik in both Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.


Why did Kirstie Alley not have the role of Saavik in the Search for Spock?

Here's a quote from producer/director/star Leonard Nimoy that gives his side of the story:"It looked like everything would work out, so when the script was ready, we sent it along for Kirstie and her agent to read. Shortly thereafter, her agent called us back and said, 'Look, we didn't realize how large a roll Saavik was going to have in this film. So we're withdrawing our earlier figure. Here's what we have to have now. . . .' and he quoted a price that was so far beyond our reach that it left me slack-jawed. I'm sure neither he nor Kirstie realized it, but the salary he wanted for her second Star Trek appearance was higher than what was being paid to DeForest Kelley after seventeen years."Alley claims that they offered her less money than what she got on Star Trek II.The role was re-cast and actress Robin Curtis made her film debut as Saavik in Star Trek III: The Search For Spock.


What Vulcan character does Kirstie Alley play in Star Trek - Wrath of Khan?

In her movie debut, Kirstie Alley plays the Vulcan (ears and all) Lieutenant Saavik. Also, when she and Mr. Spock talk in Vulcan to one another, Leonard Nimoy and she actually spoke English. Later, the sound engineers, created Vulcan words to match how their faces and mouths moves. Afterwards, the actors overdubbed the sound.Another piece of trivia... this was the only Star Trek movie with no Klingon characters.

Who is spock's girlfriend?

In the new movie they make it appear as though it's Uhura, this is false. In the shows Uhura had been with Scotty. In the show Spock does Pon Farr (mating ritual of the vulcans) with a Vulcan woman named T'Pring, he doesn't marry her but he does end up marring a Vulcan woman named Saavik... in one of the trek novels.
