    Of course it is, and the little dog laughed to see such sport, And the dish ran away with the spoon! So everything and everybody, and nothing and nobody are racist, what a pathetic quagmire serving no one and nothing useful.

    Happens to Green Aliens too.

    The “green girl” was the creation of Fred Phillips, who also made Spock’s Vulcan look for The Original Series. Stephen E. Whitfield and Gene Roddenberry recalled in The Making of Star Trek how Phillips grew increasingly frustrated as three consecutive makeup screen tests, in which Roddenberry’s future wife Majel Barrett had been painted green, came back negative.

    Now, Fred Phillips is an exceptionally fine makeup artist and recognized as a top pro in the business. He did a thorough job with the makeup and was quite satisfied with the results.

    We did this three days in a row. We had her so green you couldn’t believe it and she kept coming back pink! Finally we figured out what was happening. The technician over at the film lab would receive the film every day and run it through the development solution. As the image formed on the film, he kept saying to himself, “My God, this woman is green!” And so he kept correcting the film developing process in order to turn her back to normal skin color again!
