1984 Space Trek III - Academy Award

MC: We got a little special thing we’d like- it’s not, it’s not time for this guy to go yet.

De: Oh? MC: But De doesn’t know anything about this.

De: What is- what are you going to do for me?

MC: Well this is a very special time and a very special guy. We have a very important announcement to make. Don’t read it! You know that the Academy Awards for the Best Actor are presented in April, right? [unintelligible] Even though this is June, the Space Trek III committee has decided that we don’t really need to wait that long because we know who the winner is already, don’t we?

Audience: YES! (Applause)

MC: The envelope please. And the winner is DeForest Kelley! [unintelligible]

Audience: Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech!

De: By golly. I’m going to see if I can read what’s on there. It says “DeForest Kelley, best actor by unanimous decision, 1984 Space Trek III.”

Audience: (Standing Ovation)

De. Thank you. I am DEEPLY touched. And I mean this very sincerely. This could not mean more or as much to me if I had one from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I’d rather have it from you.

Audience: (Cheers)

De: It looks a little like Spock. Gee that throws me. I really am, I can’t tell you how much that means. I wish that it were possible for me to have one made out for each one of you because you all deserve an Academy Award too. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

De: Wow. How about that? That will have a very, very prestigious place in my house. It’s going to be on our dresser right across from my bed that when I wake up every morning.

From "Star Trek After They Were Famous", a 2002 British Documentary.

Millions of Star Trek fans are in mourning today after the death of DeForest Kelley, who played Doctor Leonard “Bones” McCoy. Kelley, who was 79, was in more than 70 episodes of the series, as well as six feature films.

William: He was so simple and clear and clean. All he wanted to do was perform and live in his house and be with his beautiful wife, and walk his dog and cut the grass and come on the stage and be an actor. That was DeForest.

You Are There - The Heroism of Clara Barton

CW: Pain, blood.

September 17th, 1862. The Heroism of Clara Barton. You Are There.

Soldier: Ms. Barton? Ms. Barton? Ms. Barton!

(De): My cheek. It’s on fire.

Clara: Let me look. When you were hit, the ball was too far spent to cut its way clean through. It’s lodged there in your cheek.

(De): It’s feels like a – like a plug of tobacco, only I, I reckon I can’t chew it.

Clara: I’ll go get a surgeon to get it out.

(De): No. This is a handy way for you to take home a Rebel souvenir, ma’am. Besides, the others need a surgeon more than me.

Clara: But you can’t endure that.

(De): How ‘bout you? I tell you what, you take it out. You take it out and you’ve got yourself a Rebel- a Rebel souvenir, huh?

Clara: I?

(De): Yeah.

Clara: But I’ve never done surgery.

(De): Ma’am you can’t do nothing to hurt this face of mine. You should’ve seen it before the [unintelligible] got ahold of it.

Clara: But I have no chloroform; it’ll be most painful, for both of us.  

(De): I can stand the pain. And, and I’ll rest a lot better after it’s all over.

Clara: I did not do it, I wouldn’t rest at all. Alright. As much as it will hurt you you’ve got to try your best to keep your face still. That’s what I usually do, but this time my hands won’t be free for it.

Soldier: Wait. I can do that much. Don’t worry, my arms are as strong as ever. I’ll hold him steady enough.

Clara: Yes. It’s done.

(De): I-

Clara: Don’t try to speak. I know what it is you want to say.

Man: Here, I’ll take care of him Ms. Clara.

Clara: Thank you.

Soldier: I’ll say it for the both of us.

(De): (sobbing)

Reporter: It can not yet be determined what side will call this battle a victory. But it is certain to anyone who has witnessed its bloodshed, that it will not be one to celebrate.

Clara: Waste, waste. You think this man is crying because of the pain in his poor face? He just heard his captain is killed and his regiment wiped out. He’ endured pain, he’s faced death, and now he cries like a child for his comrades. Men’s sobs are not easy to forget.

1987 10 24 – LA – Marriage on the Rocks

De: Yes?

Audience Member: How did you enjoy working with Frank Sinatra on “Marriage on the Rocks”?

De: How did I enjoy working with Sinatra on “Marriage on the Rocks”? God, y’all see everything. What was- what were those pictures you said you hated most? No, no, I don’t. No I’m not gonna get in trouble with the Mafia. Here’s to ya, Frank. I tell you that was some experience. A cameraman saw, I had done a motion picture with Susan Hayward and Bette Davis called “Where Love Has Gone” and they, thank you. They saw this film and that’s when- they called me. Joey Bishop was going to do that as a cameo. So they called me in for it and painted my hair solid white and we started to do the scene and Sinatra was - there was a piano there or something - and he flipped up a half-dollar and he says, “50 cents” he says, “that DeForest goes up on the first take.” And Dean Martin puts down 50 cents and I’m scared to death you know, these guys have been working on the film for like 2 or 3 months and I come in for this thing. So, that went on for quite a while. But all I kept saying to myself, “I need this money, because I need a new roof on the house. If I blow this I’m in deep trouble.” So I, I just kept saying, “just remember the lines, just say the lines.” And all through that thing they every time, I bet, they would drop the script, they would stop the take somehow on purpose, so it started and they kept betting on it. Finally, Sinatra said, “Okay,” he said, “that’s enough,” he said, “let’s give him a break.” And in the meantime, Lucille Ball comes in and sits down on the cameraman- in the camera operator’s seat to watch this scene. There’s Lucille Ball, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin, and DeForest Kelley, scared to death. The biggest thing of my life, I got through it. I did it. And that was a very frightening experience.

Dan Edwards (Frank): In this layout Mr. Turner, we’ve engaged the services of three of the country’s top models.

Ernie Brewer (Dean): And I interviewed each one personally.

Dan (Frank): Here, we feature the mobile telephone, his and hers. The use of chrome against the dark tone of the car is carried out in the evening gown in this photograph here. I think it’s rather nice. And finally the informality in the background stresses the elegance here in the front.

Ernie (Dean): Mr. Turner, if your cars are built as half as good as those girls, you’re home free.

Mr. Turner (De): I think Mr. Edwards this is the best presentation your company has ever made.

Dan (Frank): Thank you very much.

Mr. Turner (De): It’s rather expensive but I believe if presented properly to the board they’ll accept it. 

Excuse me gentlemen. Mr. Edwards your wife is on the phone from Mexico.

Dan (Frank): Oh I’m sorry, excuse me a minute. I’ll take it in Mr. Brewer’s office dear.

Dan (Frank): (Humming). What’s wrong, what’s the matter?

Ernie (Dean): Dan we have a problem.

Dan (Frank): Well there isn’t a problem in the world that this agency can’t lick.

Ernie (Dean): This is complicated.

Dan (Frank): I don’t care how complicated it is, we can beat it. What is it? What’s your problem?

Ernie (Dean): You’ll have to leave for Detroit tomorrow.

Dan (Frank): I have to leave for Det-you’re a little confused. I’m going to Mexico tomorrow.

Turner (De): Mr. Edwards, I understand your situation but certainly you can remarry your wife some other time. Now my board of directors can’t meet some other time.

Dan (Frank): Well you can take Mr. Brewer with you, he can make the presentation.

Ernie (Dean): I offered but-

Turner (De): Mr. Edwards, this is the biggest advertising budget our firm’s ever made. Now we would only be interested in going forward with the project if you make the presentation. Gentlemen, I’ll see you all in Detroit tomorrow.

Dan (Frank): Now Mr. Turner, just a minute-

Ernie (Dean): Now don’t you worry, he’ll be there. And I’m very sure that your board will approve of our presentation.

Turner (De): I have a feeling they will. Well don’t look so gloomy Mr. Edwards. After all, it’s not like leaving a young bride at the altar is it? (Laughing)

87 10 24 LA - Car Accident

Gentleman in the hat there. Was I involved in a car accident during-? Yes, I was, we had a very serious accident. I had bought a new Thunderbird, that was in 1968. I still have that Thunderbird. True. Leonard bought a new 1968 Buick. And we parked side by side outside the soundstage for work. And Leonard, Bill and myself, the three of us. And I got off early one day, just around noon, and I’d left the wheels of my car turned toward Leonard’s Buick. And I was in a hurry to get off the lot and I stepped on it and I went right into his new Buick. True story. Leonard is coming around the corner when this happened, on a bicycle. I swear to God, and he fell off of it. You want to see a funny sight, two actors out exchanging insurance. That’s the accident.

Even though DeForest Kelley is involved in outer space on TV he digs General Custer and kids Wayne Maunder about it...Joyce listens.

Yale Summers, Nichelle Nichols, Regis Philbin amd Joyce admired the dancing...who were they looking at?
