Do you know the Doohan/JFK connection?
The best man at Doohan's third wedding was actor William Campbell.
Campbell was a versatile actor who had portrayed the faggy Trelane character in "The Squire of Gothos" episode. It was Doohan who did the voice over as Trelane's father.
Campbell also played the antagonistic Klingon captain Koloth in "The Trouble With Tribbles." Aside from the amusing fight scene (in which Doohan punches Campbell), it's also interesting to see all the little tricks Doohan used to conceal his missing digit (hand behind back, hand under table, hand behind chair, etc.).
From 1952 to 1958 Campbell had been married to Judith Immoor, better known later as the notorious Judith Exner. (Often you see her referred to as Judith Campbell Exner.)
Exner was the reputed simultaneous mistress of both JFK and mob boss Sam Giancana, and arranged for a meeting between the two to aid Kennedy's presidential campaign. In her book she claimed to have transported payoffs to the Kennedys, and also that she had aborted a child of JFK's that she carried.
Did Doohan really die of pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease at age 85, or was he hit to prevent him from spilling more dirt on the Kennedys? Why was he cremated when Doohan, a Catholic, knew that the Church did not allow cremated remains to be present in church during the celebration of a funeral liturgy?
