Space Spycraft - A Klingon Beauty

Klingons are known as fierce, honor bound warriors.  For those keeping track closely, however, the Klingon women are often also known for their fierce looks and smoldering sexuality.


In the feature film Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, we're introduced to the exotic Valkris.  She's an accomplished spy, a sexy beauty, and one highly resourceful Klingon.  She helps her love, the merciless Kruge, by getting him the plans of the incredibly destructive, and highly unstable Genesis Device.  Sadly, because of bad choices on her part, Valkris can't't share the spoils with her beloved, but then Kruge (Christopher Lloyd) doesn’t last that much longer himself anyway.

Star Trek Sexy Spotlight - The Other Saavik - Robin Curtis

Saavik, as we originally knew her, didn't last long.  Actress Kirstie Alley (Look Who's Talking) who originated the role didn't put on the pointy ears for Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, the feature film follow-up to ST II: Wrath of Khan.  It's said financial agreements or requests from Alley's camp weren't indulged, and so a replacement was found.  Whatever the case in real life, the Saavik we got in front of the camera in director Leonard Nimoy's movie was actress Robin Curtis.


Curtis filled Alley's shoes (and ears) admirably.  She even went on to reprising the role - albeit not much more than a cameo - in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, which Nimoy also directed.  Robin Curtis couldn't seem to stray far from the Vulcan or Romulan race.  The New York actress also made a memorable appearance as a mercenary Romulan posing as a Vulcan on TV, in the The Next Generation 2 part episode, Gambit.
