Janet Wallace's (Sarah Marshall) Purple Paisley Jumpsuit - STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES (1966 - 19


Janet Wallace’s (Sarah Marshall) jumpsuit from Gene Roddenberry’s space adventure Star Trek: The Original Series. This ensemble consists of a multicolor synthetic blend jumpsuit and a metallic blue fabric and purple plastic chain belt. The jumpsuit features an all-over feather print in shades of blue, green and gold outlined in pink with a sleeveless top and harem-style pant legs. The belt is metallic blue fabric with hook-and-eye closures on back, which is worn woven through the purple chain.

This costume comes from series costume designer William Ware Theiss’ personal collection, having been stored away from the damaging conditions often seen with traditional studio storage. Thereafter, archived by the Comisar Collection, it has been meticulously cared for and stored in a light, climate and humidity controlled fine art warehouse. The costume is in fine production-used vintage condition overall, with the jumpsuit retaining vibrant colors.

In the episode ‘The Deadly Years’ (212), Janet Wallace is a former romantic interest of Captain Kirk’s (William Shatner). She plays a crucial role in curing a sickness that rapidly ages the crew of the USS Enterprise. Due to production budget constraints, ‘doubles’ (duplicates) of episode-specific costumes were seldom constructed for the series, and most likely this is the only such jumpsuit utilized by Janet in the episode, which she wears for the first half of the episode.

An 8x10" print of this image is included with the accompanying lot.
