A publicity photo of Kim Cattrall as Valeris from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. It was near the end of principal photography on Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country that London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts graduate (and Porky’s, Police Academy, and Mannequin star) Kim Cattrall did something that no actress had done before: she got naked on the bridge of the Enterprise. According to multiple contemporary accounts, the actress had arranged for a discreet photo session on the empty bridge set in Studio 8 of the Paramount lot with a wardrobe that featured the iconic Vulcan ears and nothing else. In the the April 1992 issue of Cinefantastique, one anonymous crew member reported on the fallout: “Nimoy saw [the pictures] and hit the roof.” The movie’s executive producer then personally destroyed the prints and negatives from the very unauthorized shoot, fearing that if the images ever got out, they could deeply harm the franchise. When asked about the incident by Mark A. Altman for Cinefantastique’s look at the making of the final film featuring the original cast, Cattrall succinctly replied, “I can’t talk about that.”Photo scanned from my personal collection. -- source link
