Did Kim Cattrall really pose nude on the bridge set?
She ever finally confirm or deny that rumor?
shareWow, don't know but I'd sure as hell like to see it!

Supposedly Leonard Nimoy caught her and had the photographer destroy the film.
shareI heard that too.
shareToo bad Spock wasn't more capitalist minded.
shareI remember reading about that in the Trek VI Cinefantastique issue (great insider/making of movie magazine) when the movie came out , yeah Nimoy apparently went mad fearing it would damage the Trek brand and personally destroyed the camera film
Theres actually a youtube of someone asking him about it at a con in like the 2010s or thereabout and he sort of laughs it off and doesn't seem to know what the guy on about lol
I think I first heard about it in Cinefantastique. Femme Fatales also talked about it.
sharehere is a scan from an article either CFQ or FF which adresses the incident

Thanks. Looks like Femme Fatale. Great magazine. Too bad they stopped publishing.
shareI was thinking maybe Catrall didnt get paid all that much for Trek VI it was so budget constrained, so maybe she figured shed get some photos taken and sell them to playboy etc for more than she got paid to do the movie lol
share🤔....sounds like a made up rumor to sell tickets to horny sci-fi nerds.
That would be a incredible risky stunt and potential career killer for an established actress.
Career killer how? She’s been naked in several roles, including Sex in the City, which she’s known for the most.
Not like she had anything to lose. Her career was in the dumpster when she did ST6 anyway.
Do you think Paramount authorized the shoot? That is unlikely, as it would sully the franchise and Paramount.
The executives at Paramount wouldn't be pleased with a unauthorized stunt like that and would boot her off the lot.
Not only that, executives at other movie studios would question Cattrall's judgement and she could be blackballed.
The story just doesn't make sense, and her career wasn't in the dumpster, she just landed a good role in a hit franchise and had reason to be optimistic.
Before ST6 she was doing guest roles in TV shows and appearing in low budget movies. Her role in this was a great opportunity but who knows if it would lead to anything else? It sure didn’t help Robin Curtis in ST3.
shareSounds like a writer with a active imagination made this rumor up.
I can see how this rumor is easily believed, because of Cattrall's highly sexualized roles in the past, and the thought of her in sexy poses on the bridge would rob most men of higher reasoning skills. (It did me at first 😄)

That is what this role would give Ms. Cattrall, hope that her career would be revived. (which it was)
