"This isn't the chateau! That's the chateau!"
The modest Chateau Picard befitting a more eucminical no money socalist society. Chateau Picard in STAR TREK PICARD because Micheal Chabon brought back captailism and social class for fuck who knows why. He explained. I didn't buy it and he was my favorite novelist.

Apparently 1968, when three wigs went missing from the makeup department. Barrett, Nichols, and Shatner the presumed culprits! 😜 Shatner pilfered all of us... allegedly.

SUBJECT: MISSING HAIR GOODS

Gene:

If you haven't already heard about it, we are missing some wigs and hair pieces.

Bill Shatner borrowed all four of his hair pieces when we finished shooting. There are two new ones and two old ones. The new ones are worth approximately
200.00

200.00apieceandthetwooldonesareworthapproximately100.00 apiece. Should STAR TREK go again next season, this no doubt means that we will have to construct new hair pieces again for Bill because he will have used both the old ones and the new ones to such an extent that they will not be photographable. This I guarantee, since it has happened to us before.

Majel Barrett's wig has disappeared. Nobody, including Majel, knows what has happened to it.

Nichelle Nichols wig has disappeared. She borrowed it when she finished working and claims that she returned it, but neither Freddie nor Pat Westmore know anything about it being returned.

That takes us up to here on missing hair goods.
