23 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
When I was about seven or eight all I knew of William Shatner was that he was the voice of “Rescue 911”. In my ignorance I didn’t know that he was the first captain of the Enterprise, nor did I know he would one day become everyone’s favourite misogynist, Denny Crane, on “Boston Legal”.
