Who is William Shatner?
William Shatner is a Canadian actor who was born on March 22, 1931. He had a lengthy career of 70 years, but he is best known for portraying James T. Kirk in the Star Trek series, from his 1965 television series debut as the captain of the starship Enterprise in the second pilot to his final performance as Captain Kirk in the seventh Star Trek movie, Star Trek Generations, in 1994.
He played attorney Denny Crane from 2004 to 2008 in the finale of the legal drama "The Practice" and its spinoff, "Boston Legal." For this portrayal, he won two Emmy Awards, one for each series. In 2016, 2017, and 2018, he appeared in both seasons of the NBC comedy travel show "Better Late Than Never," which followed a group of senior celebrities as they traveled around East Asia and Europe.
Shatner has also had a career as a musical artist, starting in 1968 with the release of his album “The Transformed Man." The most renowned of them are his renditions of "Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by The Beatles, which are dramatic recitations of the songs' lyrics rather than musical performances. Shatner is the oldest person (90 years old) to travel to space in a Blue Origin suborbital craft in 2021. He is also among the six hundred few to do so; he even spoke about feeling “the overview effect,” which is a cognitive shift often felt by astronauts who view Earth from space.
How did the rumor begin of Shatner being Kaley’s father?
Kaley Cuoco and William Shatner's appearances in a series of Priceline advertisements were one such specialized ad campaign that captured the attention of the public. Fans have legitimately begun to wonder if the pair's on-screen father-daughter bond and relationship extends to their personal lives.
In the advertisement, Shatner leaves her little daughter with a monk after driving her to the mountains. He picks up a mature woman 20 years later, but she is not really delighted to see her father's arrival. As the commercial comes to a close, Kaley explains how Priceline is currently offering greater deals. Certainly, two decades is plenty of time to add further dramatic effects.
How many times did William Shatner get married?
Shatner has had four marriages. Gloria Rand, a Canadian actress, was his first wife; they wed on August 12, 1956. Leslie (born in 1958), Lisabeth (born in 1961), and Melanie (born in 1964) were the couple's three daughters. Shatner divorced Rand in March 1969, while he was a cast member of Star Trek: The Original Series. He reportedly has a son with Gloria, Daniel Shatner; however, not much is known about him.
Marcy Lafferty, the daughter of television producer Perry Lafferty, was William Shatner's second wife. Their marriage lasted from 1973 until 1996 and they were childless.
Nerine Kidd, whom Shatner wed in 1997, was his third wife. On August 9, 1999, he arrived home at 10 p.m. and discovered her deceased at the bottom of their swimming pool. She was in her forties. The Los Angeles Police Department closed its file on the case after the coroner determined that the cause of her death was unintentional drowning, and an examination found that her blood contained both alcohol and diazepam. Later in 2008, William Shatner, in his autobiography “Up Till Now,” admitted that Nerine was suffering from alcoholism, which eventually led to her death.
Shatner wed Elizabeth Anderson Martin in 2001. She contributed to the song "Together" on Shatner's 2004 album “Has Been." 2019 saw the filing of Shatner's divorce from Elizabeth. In January 2020, the divorce was legally finalized.
