I went in and was interviewed, and I got the job,&#8221; said Jewell. &#8220;Lo and behold, I was in <em>Star Trek<\/em>. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d even heard of <em>Star Trek<\/em> when I got the role.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Male Trek fans remember the slave girl costume that she wore, designed by <strong>Bill Theiss<\/strong>. &#8220;&#8230;The first costume was gray and drab, and it was short,&#8221; said Jewell. &#8220;I had fishnet stockings that they wanted me to wear, and then I had this thing that I wore at the top. Then the next costume was the main costume, which I wore in my scene with Captain Kirk, with Mr. Shatner. That was a very exotic costume. It was made by the designer who designed everything for <em>Star Trek<\/em>. It wasn\u2019t like they went, &#8216;Well, let&#8217;s throw this on.&#8217; It was designed and it was made, and they had to make sure, in the fitting, that it fit properly. And I wore that. I still get a lot of comments when I&#8217;m at the <em>Star Trek<\/em> shows about that costume. Everybody talks about that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Working with the cast, including <strong>William Shatner<\/strong>, was no problem for Jewell. &#8220;They were all very pleasant and very nice,&#8221; said Jewell. &#8220;Everybody was accommodating. They, of course, wanted the scene to go as well as possible because they wanted everything to be as perfect as they could get it. I tried my best, and apparently it worked out very well. Mr. Shatner was very nice to work with. A lot of people ask me about that, working with him, and he was such a professional that it made it very easy for me to work with him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jewell didn&#8217;t act after <em>Star Trek<\/em>, because &#8220;I didn&#8217;t like the parts they were offering me,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I was looking for parts that were a little more \u2013 a lot more \u2013 than crawling around on the floor without any clothes on or being completely nude or having sex with everyone. I guess they thought from that role with Mr. Shatner that I was willing and able, but I was not willing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She returned to modeling, and went into business with her husband, and then started to make appearances on the convention circuit. &#8220;I have very much enjoyed [convention appearances],&#8221; she said. &#8220;It was like another door opened up in my life that I didn&#8217;t even know existed. I just enjoy pleasing the fans. If the fans are there and they want me to sign pictures for them, then I&#8217;m very happy to do so.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lois Jewell, the woman who played Drusilla on the original series Bread and Circuses, shared&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[6977,6974,6971],"class_list":["post-32717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-bread-and-circuses","tag-drusilla","tag-jewell"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/cast-crew\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Cast &amp; Crew<\/a>","tag_info":"Cast &amp; Crew","comment_count":"1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32717"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32717\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32723,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32717\/revisions\/32723"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
