Por que Grace Lee Whitney foi tão cobrada nos TOS de Star Trek?

7

A atriz Grace Lee Whitney apareceu em oito episódios iniciais de Star Trek: A Série Original como Yeoman Janice Rand. As transmissões desses episódios (na ordem em que são exibidas na tela) são apresentadas abaixo. Ignorando atores convidados (dado em itálico), você pode ver que Yeoman Rand era geralmente listado em quarto lugar, depois de Kirk, Spock e McCoy. Ela está sempre imediatamente depois de McCoy e à frente dos "regulares" Scotty, Sulu e Uhura. A enfermeira Chapel é o único outro "regular" faturado acima de Yeoman Rand - à frente do Dr. McCoy também! - mas mais tarde na série Chapel teve um faturamento menor.

Originalmente, ela pretendia ter um papel muito maior na série, mas foi lentamente escrita quando os planos mudaram. Ela foi libertada do seu contrato completamente depois de oito episódios.

O Artigo da Wikipedia para Grace Lee Whitney tem todos os detalhes (provenientes de suas próprias memórias.)

Whitney era uma entidade conhecida por Roddenberry, tendo trabalhado com ele antes e trabalhado bastante na TV antes.

Com base no salário, seu "faturamento" parece correto.

Grace Lee Whitney came on board as Janice Rand, the Captain’s Yeoman. She was 35. A former stage dancer with more than three dozen credits in television and film, she had recently played a lead role in “Controlled Experiment,” the only comedy episode produced for The Outer Limits. Whitney first met Roddenberry on The Lieutenant. Charmed by the pretty blonde, he cast her as the female lead in “Police Story.” And that led to Star Trek.

Além disso, exceto Shatner e Nimoy, Whitney tinha um dos melhores contratos de Star Trek com Desilu.

Ela foi contratada / garantida pelo 7 dos episódios 16 por US $ 750 por episódio.

Apenas DeForrest Kelley teve melhor (novamente, exceto Shatner & Nimoy) nos episódios 7 a US $ 850 por.

Em comparação, James Doohan foi contratado por apenas episódios 5 (embora a US $ 850 por episódio) e George Takei (episódios 7 por US $ 600 por episódio)
