Movie: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Character(s): Lt. Valeris

Kim Cattrall is the English-Canadian actress who played Valeris in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. She received a Saturn Award nomination from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films for her performance in the film.

In early script drafts, Valeris was supposed to be Saavik, the original role for which Cattrall was already considered as an alternative back in 1981 for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. However, she turned out to be unavailable for the part, which ultimately went to Kirstie Alley. When she was finally cast for the role of Valeris, Cattrall actually refused the part at first, as she was under the false impression that she had to be the third actress to portray Saavik, but jumped at the opportunity when she learned that that was not to be the case, as she considered Saavik “just a girl,” whereas she considered Valeris “a woman.”

She was also one of the thirteen final actresses who auditioned for the part of Vixis in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, but the role went to Spice Williams.

Kim Cattrall's Only Star Trek Complaint Was About A Lack Of Leg

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country bridge

People old enough to remember the "Police Academy" movies may recall a scene in Hugh Wilson's 1984 original might recall a scene wherein the irascible horndog Carey Mahoney (Steve Guttenberg) sidled up to fellow cadet Karen Thompson ( Kim Cattrall ) and asked to see her thighs. Karen was too flustered in the moment to respond, but was eventually won over by Mahoney's comedic charm and loose manners in the face of the Metropolitan Police training facility. She eventually donned a pair of jogging shorts and, of her own accord, playfully showed them off to Mahoney while in the middle of her morning run. 

The "Police Academy" movies are, naturally, horrendously dated in their attitudes today, but Kim Cattrall likely didn't object to the jogging shorts scene as, it so happens, she is quite fond of her own legs. It was that fondness, it seems, that led to a minor disappointment when Cattrall agreed to appear in Nicholas Meyer's 1991 film "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country." In that film, Catrall played the Vulcan helmsperson Valeris, a brilliant young officer who is being trained as a replacement for Spock (Leonard Nimoy) when he retires. Valeris is a confident, intelligent, almost brash character who, it will eventually be revealed, has secrets of her own. She is a great addition to the cast. 

Valeris, like most Starfleet officers, wore the usual red shirt/black slacks uniform while on duty. Long gone are the days when female Starfleet officers would wear go-go boots, black leggings and solid-colored minidresses. It seems that this costume change wasn't to Cattrall's liking as, well, she wanted a minidress. In the book "The Fifty-Year Mission: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Star Trek: The First 25 Years," edited by Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross, Cattrall reminisced.

Listen all y'all it's a...

Cattrall recalls growing up with "Star Trek," and was very fond of the fashions therein. For the three seasons "Star Trek" was on the air, the uniforms remained largely the same; color-coded tunics and black slacks for the men, minidresses for the women, notably for Uhura (Nichelle Nichols). It wouldn't be until  "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" in 1979 that the uniforms would be changed, and it wouldn't be until Meyer's 1982 sequel, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," that the red-shirt, more militant uniforms would be codified for the era. 

Meyer's militant uniforms look nice, but they are also thick and boxy with high collars and multiple layers; there's a Christmas sweater quality to them. Cattrall hated the thick-and-boxy look, preferring clothing and costumes that were more form-fitting and revealing. Meyer was a little bit taken aback by Cattrall's request to show off her own legs. She said: 

"I told Nick I really wanted to wear a skirt, like Uhura, since I have great legs. He said, 'Kim, if I put you in a skirt, people will be looking at your legs.' And I said, 'So?' The uniforms are nice, but they were made in 1982 for someone else. I really wanted a new uniform, but when they fitted me for a costume they told me they couldn't get any more material. I didn't want to sweat in someone's old jacket. I had to completely reshape it so I'd look like a woman."

Cattrall didn't get to wear the skirt, but one might note that Valeris' uniform is indeed cut slightly differently than the other chatacters'. 

Gendered uniforms

Cattrall continued: 

"I wasn't into hiding things at that point in my life. I feel good about the way I look and as a woman I enjoy feeling sexy. I think in science fiction, women should look great ... and so should men. That's why people go to the movies." 

Cattrall, of course, makes a basic point about cinema that some filmmakers often adhere to: in a visual medium, why not cast the people you find to be the most attractive? Joel Schumacher once said very frankly that casting attractive actors and dressing them well is one of the basic appeals of film. Cattrall seems to share that belief. Meyer, meanwhile, seemingly wanted to lean into a more formalized version of "Star Trek" wherein the uniforms were less gendered. 

"Star Trek" has struggled with gendered uniforms for decades. The minidresses were briefly repurposed for "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in 1987 when several male officers were seen wearing them, implying that it was a mere uniform style choice and not a gendered mandate from Starfleet. That, however, didn't stick. Eventually, "Next Generation" made its way to a one-size-fits-all type of uniform, perhaps following the ethos laid down by Meyer with "Star Trek II," five years earlier. 

Cattrall, however, wanted to defy the utilitarian nature of Starfleet uniforms, and make them more fashionable. One can admire her dream, although it wouldn't necessarily have fit in with the terse, socio-political tone of "Star Trek VI," a film about governmental turmoil, Cold War, and assassinations. 

Her performance remains quite good, however.

Kim Cattrall's Star Trek VI Character Wasn't Created By The Movie's Writers

B efore S** and The City , Kim Cattrall was involved in espionage on the Enterprise. The actress played Lieutenant Valeris in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country , a role that she had an unprecedented amount of control over shaping. A new oral history of Star Trek reveals, among other things, that Kim Cattrall was free to make up the character of Valeris from scratch-including the Vulcan's "interesting" haircut.

In fact, everything about the character's hair was Kim Cattrall's idea. The actress wanted to dye it black to match Leonard Nimoy's Spock, and that Supercuts do was apparently to better display her signature pointy Vulcan ears. Cattrall even got to name her Star Trek VI character-with some input from director Nicholas Meyer, of course.

If that sounds odd, the role being cast without a name for the character, there's a good reason for that. Another piece of trivia from the book The Fifty-Year Mission: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Star Trek: The First 25 Years is that Valeris was originally supposed to be Saavik.

Star Trek fans will remember Saavik as the Vulcan character originated by Kirstie Alley in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan -also directed by Meyer. Alley failed to return for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock , and the role of Saavik was instead given to Robin Curtis.

When the 6th Trek movie rolled around, it seemed like a no-brainer to have the story's female Vulcan and Spock's protege continue to be Saavik. However, original Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry put the kibosh on Kim Cattrall's character being Saavik, once he found out about her planned heel turn.

In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Cattrall's character becomes a villain after falling in with a crowd of Klingon-hating Federation patriots. In addition to Roddenberry's issue with making one of Trek's heroes into a villain, Cattrall didn't want to be the third actress to play the same character. She preferred instead to craft a completely new character. Enter Valeris.

Kim Cattrall recalls that the name Valeris came from the Greek god Eris, with Meyers adding the "Val" to make it sound more Vulcan. "I felt it was very much my own." Cattrall said of the moniker. The former Police Academy star went on to say that Valeris wasn't, "Like the other women in Star Trek ," and described the women that were on the show in the '60s as "beautiful women in great-looking, tight outfits with fabulous makeup and hairdos."

On the flip side, Kim Cattrall wanted her character to be "a very definitive Vulcan woman" and "a warrior." This is apparently where the infamous "haircut" came from. "I dyed my hair black and had it done very sixties and shaved my sideburns because I felt my ears would look much stronger," said Cattrall. "I was a revolutionary, and I wanted my appearance to reflect that."

The actress was presumably referring to the fact that her character ends up being a saboteur who, along with members of the Klingon and Romulan empires, is attempting to thwart peace talks between the Federation and the Klingons. They, of course, fail, paving the way for an uneasy alliance between the two powers that culminates in the Enterprise D having a Klingon Starfleet officer onboard during the Star Trek: The Next Generation era.

Perhaps the most scandalous revelation involving Kim Cattrall on the Star Trek VI set ( aside from her infamous on-set photoshoot ) is that the actress pocketed a bunch of her prosthetic ears from the shoot. "I've kept all my ears," Cattrall said. "It's a wonderful memory of having done the movie." What would Samantha say?

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Kim Cattrall wanted a different uniform in Star Trek VI

Kim Cattrall played Lt. Valeris on Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

When Kim Cattrall got the part of Lt. Valeris, the Vulcan who would ultimately betray Spock and the rest of the Enterprise crew, she had an idea in mind as to how she wanted her character to look. She colored her hair black to resemble Leonard Nimoy’s and shaved around her ears to make them stand out more. ( According to ForgottenTrek , she kept those ears after the movie ended as a memory.)

And there was one more change she wanted to make to her character. She wanted Lt. Valeris to wear a skirt like Nichelle Nichols had done as Lt. Uhura as she liked the look.

"“I think in science fiction, women should look great. Women should always look great … and so should men. That’s why people go to the movies.”"

Kim Cattrall liked the look of Nichelle Nichols in Star Trek: The Original Series

But director Nicholas Meyer nixed that idea right away. He thought that the audience would only be looking at her legs if she wore a skirt. Cattrall wasn’t a fan of Meyer’s decision, especially since she found the uniform she ultimately had to wear to be too hot and bulky. But she did agree that she wanted Valeris to be more than just eye candy, which she thought most of the women on Star Trek were in the 1960s.

"“I don’t think she’s like the other women in Star Trek. In the 60s, they were mostly beautiful women in great-looking, tight outfits with fabulous makeup and hairdos, more set decoration than real motivators in the mechanics of the plot.”"

Fortunately, Star Trek has come a long way, and women can wear skirts and still be a part of the plot, just look at Rebecca Romijn, whose character, Number One on Star Trek Strange New Worlds, is in a dress at Romijn’s request .

Star Trek's Kim Cattrall Didn't Love Her Valeris Costume - But She Kept One Thing

Lt. Valeris on the bridge

The women of the Star Trek franchise have often had an uphill battle. Gene Roddenberry's original series premiered in the late '60s, when short skirts and little character development were in vogue. This changed throughout the franchise's life as it evolved into successful feature films. Female representation had improved so much that one actor even argued to give her character a skirt. When appearing in the best Star Trek movie, "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country," Kim Cattrall lobbied for a more sleek appearance for the character.

"I think in science fiction, women should look great. Women should always look great ... and so should men. That's why people go to the movies," Kim Cattrall remarked to Cinefantastique (via ForgottenTrek.com ). She reportedly disliked the uniform's girth while filming the movie.

The "Sex and the City" actor had been a fan of the original "Star Trek" series and wanted to be true to the conceit of the franchise. After being cast, she even went as far as to dye her hair to resemble Spock (Leonard Nimoy). Nimoy was her main scene partner, as Spock had taken Valeris under his wing after her impressive career at Starfleet Academy. While Cattrall didn't get the skirt she had lobbied for, she did keep her Vulcan ears as a memento of her time on the Enterprise, saying, "It's a wonderful memory of having done the movie."

Valeris wasn't just any background character

Kim Cattrall advocated for her right to appear how she wanted on screen, but she also appreciated that Valeris wasn't a carbon copy of how Star Trek portrayed women in the past. The Vulcan helm officer is integral to the plot of "Star Trek VI: The Underdiscovered Country."

"I don't think she's like the other women in Star Trek," Cattrall commented. "In the 60s, they were mostly beautiful women in great-looking, tight outfits with fabulous makeup and hairdos, more set decoration than real motivators in the mechanics of the plot." Her character is quite the opposite. "The Undiscovered Country" is the sci-fi version of the Cold War, as reflected by relations between the Klingons and the Federation. 

During peace talks, Valeris reveals ulterior motives, which include sabotaging the already fraught relationship. As part of the Khitomer conspiracy, she and a group of similarly disaffected Federation, Klingon, and Romulan conspirators do what they can to stop cooperation. As a Vulcan, Valeris sees no logic in continuing peace talks since it would be impossible to trust the warring culture. Valeris' subterfuge is a betrayal, particularly for Spock when considering Spock's entire backstory . Because she was a Vulcan at the top of her class, the science officer had a vested interest in Valeris. This makes her final turn shocking, the kind of plot twist that women weren't always afforded in the original run of "Star Trek."

Screen Rant

Star trek 6: why kirstie alley's saavik didn't return for undiscovered country.

Star Trek VI's original plans included the return of Kirstie Alley as Lt. Saavik. Here's why it didn't happen and a new Vulcan, Valeris, was created.

Lt. Saavik, the Vulcan character originated by Kirstie Alley, didn't return in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country due to budgetary reasons and concern about the film's story turning her into a traitor. Released in December 1991, Star Trek VI was the final time the original cast of Star Trek appeared together. In early drafts of the screenplay, this last reunion of the TOS crew was going to include Saavik, but instead, she was replaced by a new Vulcan, Lt. Valeris (Kim Cattrall).

Saavik debuted in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Kirstie Alley's portrayal proved memorable, especially how she was able to convincingly play a Vulcan alongside Leonard Nimoy's Spock while also holding her own in scenes with William Shatner's Captain James T. Kirk. Saavik returned in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Alley was supposed to reprise her role, but negotiations collapsed over the actress's salary. Instead, Saavik was recast with Robin Curtis donning the ears; Curtis returned briefly as Saavik in the opening scenes of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home , but the Vulcan didn't appear in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, and the fate of Saavik was never resolved.

The original plans for Saavik in Star Trek VI involved Kirstie Alley reprising her role once more. Nicholas Meyer, who directed Star Trek II , was also helming The Undiscovered Country and he wanted Alley back. Unfortunately, Kirstie Alley's asking price was beyond the means of Star Trek VI 's $30-million budget; at the time, Alley was the star of Cheers on NBC and she was one of television's highest-paid actresses. Meyer wasn't a fan of Robin Curtis' portrayal of Saavik and the producers, including Leonard Nimoy , who had the creative vision for Star Trek VI , all agreed that it made no sense to recast Saavik for the third time.

There was also disagreement as to Saavik's role in Star Trek VI 's story. One early idea that was dropped was for Kirk to fall in love with Saavik and they would have a child together — a half-human/half-Vulcan echoing Spock. Another inkling was that would be Spock who fell in love with Saavik . However, with Star Trek VI 's main story revolving around the Klingons making peace with the United Federation of Planets, the final decision made was that Saavik would be a traitor siding with the conspirators who feared what peace with the Federation's greatest enemies would mean for the galaxy.

Star Trek' s creator Gene Roddenberry , who was deathly ill by this point, felt that Saavik had achieved "beloved character" status and that fans would object to her betraying Kirk and Spock. Nicholas Meyer also came to the conclusion that the fans, who hadn't seen Saavik in years, would be upset to see her brought back as a traitor. Finally, the decision was made to jettison Saavik entirely and create a new Vulcan character, which was the wisest course of action all things considered.

For her part, Kim Cattrall was thrilled to not only join Star Trek but to also have the opportunity to create Valeris from whole cloth. Cattrell helped name her character and she even shaved the sides of her head to make her Vulcan ears more prominent. Thanks to her commitment to the part, Valeris became an instantly memorable and endearing character; this made her betrayal of the Federation even more of a gut-punch since she was initially so likable and Spock deemed her his successor . Meanwhile, Saavik actually appears in the novelization of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country ; she is the recruiting officer who initially inspires Valeris to join Starfleet.

  • View history

Lieutenant Valeris was a female Vulcan Starfleet officer of the 23rd century . She served as helmsman aboard the USS Enterprise -A , during its mission to escort the Klingon Chancellor to Earth in 2293 . In that capacity, she was a key participant in a conspiracy to sabotage peace talks between the Klingon Empire and the Federation .

  • 2.2 Apocrypha
  • 2.3 External links

History [ ]

Valeris was mentored by Captain Spock at Starfleet Academy , and became the first Vulcan to graduate at the top of her class. Spock took interest in her career with "satisfaction" as she eventually attained the rank of lieutenant .

Valeris requested to be assigned to the Enterprise -A upon learning of their need for a helmsman . Spock, having been impressed with her, informed her of his intentions to retire subsequent to the completion of their diplomatic mission , and of his desire that she should fulfill his role aboard the ship.

Khitomer conspiracy [ ]

Valeris did not consider it logical to attempt peaceful interactions with the Klingon Empire, considering the Klingons untrustworthy. Before coming to the Enterprise , Valeris had committed to the Khitomer conspiracy on the Starfleet side. Upon establishment of contact with the chancellor's flagship, Kronos One , Valeris suggested to Captain Kirk the service of Romulan ale during a dinner which the Enterprise crew was hosting for Chancellor Gorkon and his party. Later, after Kirk and Doctor McCoy were placed under arrest for Gorkon's murder , Valeris supplied her compatriots in the Klingon Empire with a recording from Kirk's personal log , in which Kirk admitted that he held the Klingons personally responsible for the death of his son , which became a damning piece of evidence in their subsequent trial .

Spock ordered Valeris to conduct a search for evidence of the conspirators on the ship. She helped to uncover a few facts and the boots that the assassins wore. Covertly, she also personally murdered Yeomen Burke and Samno , her fellow conspirators and Gorkon's actual assassins , in an attempt to eliminate them as witnesses.

After the Enterprise crew's successful rescue of Kirk and McCoy from the Klingon prison planet Rura Penthe , Kirk and Spock set up a sting operation in an attempt to uncover the conspirator aboard the ship by announcing that Burke and Samno had, in fact, survived the murder attempt, and were recuperating in sickbay . Their ruse proved successful, leading to a confrontation with Valeris when she made another assassination attempt.

She was taken to the bridge and interrogated by Kirk in front of the crew for details of the conspiracy. Valeris refused to cooperate, instead appealing to Kirk's distrust of Klingons. In response, Spock forced a mind meld on her, during which he was able to learn of the involvement in the conspiracy of Starfleet Admiral Cartwright , Klingon General Chang , and Romulan Ambassador Nanclus . She was not aware of where the Khitomer Conference was to take place, but did know of another assassination attempt that was to occur there. Hikaru Sulu instead informed them, and joined with them at Khitomer . There, Valeris was taken to the conference to show everyone they could prove the conspiracy. ( Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country )

Appendices [ ]

Background information [ ].

Saavik was to have reprised her role in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country , but was replaced with Valeris, reportedly because Gene Roddenberry was concerned that fans had become so fond of Saavik that they would react negatively to her turning out to be a traitor. In addition, no one wanted to have to cast a third actress to play the same role: Kirstie Alley had declined to return, and Nicholas Meyer was not a fan of Robin Curtis 's portrayal.

While referred to as "lieutenant", Valeris wore the rank insignia of a lieutenant commander . Her Starfleet uniform jacket had the gray insignia patch and wristband of a sciences division officer, but her uniform undershirt was red (denoting a cadet or student officer). This mismatch was caused because no new uniform pieces were being made and the wardrobe department simply found Cattrall's existing items that fit her. Robert Fletcher 's uniform notes specify that an officer's collar and uniform patch should match, so a division specialty color could have been added as a strip on her shoulder patch and wristband.

Kim Cattrall designed her headband, suggested her hairstyle, and even helped in naming the character – after Eris, the Greek goddess of strife, hinting at Valeris' role in the events of the film. The "Val" prefix was added to make it sound more Vulcan, contradicting, however, the typical naming convention for female Vulcans ( T'Pring , T'Pol , and T'Pau , for example). ( I Am Spock ) The shooting script spells the name "Val'eris", but the apostrophe doesn't appear in the closing credits, DVD subtitles, or publicity materials.

One version of the script would have revealed that Valeris was Spock's daughter with Saavik, also named Saavik after her mother. [1]

Apocrypha [ ]

Jeanne M. Dillard 's novelization of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country mentions that her parents Sessl and T'Paal attempted to make peace overtures to the Klingons several months before the Organian intervention. Her mother, who named Valeris for a Klingon heroine, is killed and her father becomes ill. Sessl dies when Valeris is seven, advocating that war with the Klingons is necessary.

The novel Cast No Shadow depicts Valeris' life both before and after Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country , when she is offered a chance at relocation to a colony world under a new name, seven years after her arrest and imprisonment, in exchange for assisting in an investigation into what appears to be a new branch of the Khitomer Conspiracy as the last known living member of the scheme. During the events of the novel, she is forced to acknowledge that the real reason for her participation in the conspiracy was not her logical assessment that the Klingons would be a future threat to the Federation, but her own past trauma from a time she was taken hostage as a child by Klingons attempting to convince her ambassador father to abandon a planet that was negotiating to join the Federation. At the conclusion of the story, she risks her life to disable a bomb that would have decimated the remains of Praxis and the Klingon homeworld, and is given a pardon and a new life on a colony world under the new name T'Leris. In this novel, Valeris' parents are named Sepel ( β ) and T'Kio ( β ).

The mirror universe Valeris ( β ) appeared in the novel The Sorrows of Empire . Assigned to assassinate Spock , she is killed by Saavik ( β ) before she can do so.
