St. Patrick’s Day, 1986: On Stage 9 at Paramount, filmed the top-secret ending scene of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the unveiling of the brand-new Enterprise-A. James Doohan asked if I’d made the backlit graphics green in honor of St. Patrick's Day. I should have said yes! pic.twitter.com/QbJ9178qvh
