William Shatner remembers Gene Roddenberry, creator of ''Star Trek'', in this handwritten signed recollection. Composed on Shatner's personal stationery, he writes, ''Gene Roddenberry became quite ill as he got older. He had been a pilot, a policeman, a two fisted drinker - he had lived a fast life - slowly his strength and his mind began to fail him. Not during the time I knew him on the Star Trek that I was on, but it became very evident on 'The Next Generation' - He was [would] rest on Holidays and he would get a little better, then inexorably the conditions worsened. At the end, his body and his mind had deteriorated. He had come up with this wonderful concept for a television show - He had cast it so well - he wrote several of the pieces and had done a fine job - His legacy is the Star Trek franchise which exists today - Billions of dollars in revenue - He died a rich man in the arms of his loved ones. He had created a show business Phenomena - what else could you ask for. Maybe just a little more time. / William Shatner''. Single page measures 7.25'' x 10.25''. Near fine condition.
