J.J. Abrams would have loved for this Star Trek: The Original Series actress to make an appearance in Star Trek (2009), but it would have complicated Star Trek canon. With his 2009 Star Trek film, J.J. Abrams brought the USS Enterprise into the 21st century in a big way, introducing a whole new generation to the Star Trek franchise. While the film introduced new versions of Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and his crew, Leonard Nimoy’s original Spock also played a major role.
