Actress Diora Baird Confirmed as Orion Slave Girl in New Star Trek Movie

Features

By GustavoLeao / 16:01, 20 September 2008 / Star Trek: Nemesis

In a new interview to Maxim.com, actress Diora Baird confirmed she is playing an Orion Slave Girl in the new Star Trek movie. Here are few excerpts of the brief interview.

Let's hope you keep things together in the new Star Trek flick. Who are you playing?

I play the green girl. There you have it.

So you're an alien?

Um, I would assume so-unless I was born with a skin disease. In the original series, there were these infamous green women that Captain Kirk would hit on, and so without giving too much away, I'm one of those green girls.

The full interview is here.

Funny, I thought it was she who looked like the idiot there.

No, she had just finished telling him she was green and the interviewer still asked, "So you're an alien?" - It reminds me of the reporter who asked Doug Williams who had just won Super Bowl XXII for the Redskins, "How long have you been a black quarterback?"

And, it wasn't Capt. Kirk who was 'hitting' on the green Orion slave dancer, that all happened in the original pilot ... It was Capt. Pike who was being hit upon by the Orion slave dancer.

We are nit-picking here. Like Chekov being on the Enterprise when Khan was on board, but not a bridge officer -- for all we know, Kirk may indeed have hit on Orion girls at some point in his youth. If it wasn't seen before in the Original Series, it will be now.

She looks like an idiot because she doesn't know Trek as extensively as you?

You expect EVERYBODY on Earth to know little details like that? She answered with the kind of general awareness people have of TOS, without actually seeing much: Spock is Vulcan, he has no emotions, fucks every seven years and does the neck thing, Kirk is a womanizer and talks like every word is its own sentence, gets his shirt ripped, Bones McCoy declares people dead and complains that he's just a doctor, Scotty is scottish and loves his ship, he beams up the captain, etc.

I think she made the reporter look like an idiot and she didn't know much of Star Trek's story. That's it.
