He's Dead Jim

Tough couple weeks it looks like.. Alexender Courage died on May 15. He is the composer responsible for the original Star Trek theme. The "fanfare" to the theme has appeared in every production since.

Also dead is Joseph Pevney who directed "City on the Edge of Forever" as well as"The Trouble with Tribbles".

And finally, not related to Star Trek but still important nontheless... Harvey Corman died yesterday. He was in everything from the Carol Burnett show to many of Mel Brooks' films. His best performance was of course in Blazing Saddles where he played Heddy Lamar (That's HEDLEY!).
