Private Notes
Michael surprised the Canadian actor - who gained worldwide fame and became a cultural icon as Captain James Kirk in the science fiction television series Star Trek - at Universal Studios on the set of the Starship Enterprise. His former Trek colleague Leonard Nimoy pays tribute along with stars of William’s later television success - TJ Hooker.
Michael’s first visit to Coronation Street was in order to surprise Liz - which he did during the recording of a scene on the set of the Rovers Return.
Among those paying tribute to Liz - who first appeared in the soap in 1974 - are comedians Bernard Manning and Larry Grayson, who the actress had worked with in her earlier career as a nightclub singer.
