Worene

Paula Crist-Pickett is a Star Trek fan and was a stunt performer in several Star Trek productions, as well as other genre productions, including Logan's Run and the original Battlestar Galactica.

Her only credited role in Star Trek was as 'Crewmember' in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. This character was originally supposed to be a bridge crewmember, but that role eventually went to Billy Van Zandt's Rhaandarite character. Crist apparently designed her own alien costume, and gave the character the name Worene. Gene Roddenberry liked the Worene character, and made sure she at least appeared in the final movie by giving her a part in the recreation deck scene.

Paula Crist was an uncredited stunt performer on some original Star Trek episodes, and became a friend of Mark Lenard and his family. After he died of diabetes in 1996, Crist helped the family sort through his possesions. She took special interest in Mark Lenard's Klingon costume. She worked with some costumers at Paramount Studios to restore the uniform to it's former glory. She used the costume as fundraiser item for a diabetes fund during SiliCon 2002.
