		When I first met Persis in the early 60s, she was a natural beauty and we all encouraged her to pursue a career in the field of glamour.

		He kisses his thumb and holds it out at arm's length with a grin: a signal to Persis that "the good guys always win- even in the '80s." Now picture me laughing.
		It also stars Persis, in what is, unfortunately, her best performance that I know of, with Stephen Collins as an equally unappealing partner.

		As such, the late months of 1979 were heady times for Trek fans, and there was enough media exposure to pique the casual viewers' interest.
		None of the actors do terrible jobs, although two more accomplished thespians might have made something more of the tension between Kirk and Decker than Shatner and Collins are capable of doing.
		Persis Khambatta, joining Collins as a newcomer to the Enterprise, upstages no one with her limited skills.

		When Star Trek: The Motion Picture was announced at a big studio press conference, most Americans hadn't heard of Persis Khambatta (seen here for the first time with her future co-star, Bill Shatner).
		The former Miss India would eventually have her head shaved for the part of "Ilia." After the movie was released and her beautiful hair grew back, she had a few small parts in films, but eventually returned to her native India.
		I'll always remember her as a charming, unpretentious lady with a big heart and wonderful sense of humor.

		Kirk (William Shatner) leads his crew into the vast structures surrounding V'Ger, an all-powerful being that is cutting a destructive course through Starfleet space.
		With his new First Officer (Stephen Collins), the bald and beautiful Lieutenant Ilia (played by the late Persis Khambatta) and his returning veteran crew, Kirk must decipher the secret of V'Ger's true purpose and restore the safety of the galaxy.
		The story is rather overblown and derivative of plots from the original series, and avid Trekkies greeted the film's bland costumes with derisive laughter.

		Star Trek—The Motion Picture was the result of years of lobbying from rabid fans of a sci-fi television show that had been canceled ten years before.
		Decker, for his part, is justifiably furious, both at the humiliation of Kirk taking his command away on a personal whim—made all the harder when witnessed by Decker's old flame, Lieutenant Ilia (Persis Khambatta)—and at Kirk's disingenuous "for the good of the mission" explanation for the action, which it's not certain the admiral himself believes.
		Kirk's intentions are good, but the lengths to which he'll go to get his old ship back—sabotaging Decker, and gambling the success of a mission to potentially save Earth—are disturbing.
