Takei, George To The Stars: The Autobiography of George Takei Star Trek's Mr. Sulu
New York, New York, U.S.A. Pocket Books 1994 0671890085 / 9780671890087 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Very Good +
A photo of this book is available. Very-nice, clean copy. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $22.00. Illustrated with photos. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 406 pages. Dustcover is clean and bright, shows 1 small closed tear at top of spine. Synopsis Best known as Mr. Sulu, helmsman of the Starship Enterprise and Captain of the Starship Excelsior, George Takei is beloved by millions as part of the command team that has taken audiences to new vistas of adventure in Star Trek - the unprecedented television and feature film phenomenon. From the program's death at the hands of the network to its rebirth in the hearts and minds of loyal fans, the Star Trek story has blazed its own path into our recent cultural history, leading to a series of blockbuster feature films and three new versions of Star Trek for television. While the public record of Star Trek is familiar to us all, much of the real story is not. Starting with Star Trek's inception and encompassing its breakneck production schedule, the show's cancellation and its renewed life in films, George Takei gives a unique firsthand account of the creative experiences, personalities, and egos behind the thirty-year Star Trek phenomenon. The Star Trek story is one of boundless hope and crushing disappointment, wrenching rivalries and incredible achievements. It is also the story of how, after nearly thirty years, the cast of characters from a unique but poorly rated television show have come to be known to millions of Americans and people around the world as family. Annotation From the World War II years spent in an internment camp to his meteoric rise to stardom as Mr. Sulu, helmsman of the Starship Enterprise and Captain of the Starship Excelsior, George Takei tells readers his personal story of the American dream come true. Includes eight-page photo insert. Original. Publishers Weekly Asian-American actor Takei attributes his success to his role as Mr. Sulu on the Star Trek TV series and in six full-length motion pictures (1966-1991). Starting with his Japanese-American family's internment in a WWII high-security camp in northern California, this lively memoir reveals the author's upbeat but pragmatic nature. The boy's early fascination with the theater, abetted by supportive parents and a B.A. and M.A. in theater from UCLA, led to his discovery when he was 27 by Gene Roddenberry, creator/producer of Star Trek. While Takei's film credits include Ice Palace, Green Berets and Bridge on the River Kwai, most of the book, of major interest to Star Trek fans, deals with behind-the-scenes accounts of the series' filming and production. (Oct.)
