More on Weezie!

Well I got another email from Louise Stange-Wahl, who goes by "Weezie". Weezie is a former actress who was on the set of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and has been looking for her uniform from that movie. As noted in my last post, it was a white sciences Class "D", size 8. But sadly, there has only been one example that has surfaced, and that was at Christie's. As noted on the forum, because many of these jumpsuits were converted to crewman uniforms for Star Trek II, it is quite possible that the white ones were the first to be used because they could be dyed easily.

Anyway, Weezie, has sent another photo and here it is!

Background Actor Seeking Costume

I received this email from a former Star Trek background actor. Maybe one of you can help!
"Hi Alec!
I just discovered your blog, and started at the beginning and read it all. Fascinating, to say the least. I am an "old-timer" with STAR TREK, and in fact got to see them shoot some of TOS back in 1967. I was also one of the lucky people who got to work in ST: TMP. and thus, I have to ask you if you might be able to help me locate the uniform I wore in the film. I know there have been a boatload of auctions but have seen my uniform listed. It was a white jumpsuit, science department, women's size 8. Attached is a photo of me in it.
I tried to buy it right after the film wrapped, and even with Leonard trying to help me, Western Costume had them all in storage.
Since you are a major collector, you might be able to give me some idea if it might be out there someplace and how to search for it!
Many thanks!
Weezie
Louise Stange-Wahl"



The Christie's listing can be found here. Not sure if that is Weezie's, but it is similar at least.

I love this version and missed bidding on it at Christie's, so maybe the winner is out there and will help Weezie out!
