Technically, the 1st IR kiss was between Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz (1951), then Shatner and France Nuyen (1958), with Shatner and Nichelle Nicols another 4 down the road

Saavik. First played by a relatively unknown Kirstie Alley in ST2. Paramount neglected to include a sequel clause in the contract and her agent wanted too much while Paramount low-balled the offer. So they cast Robin Curtis in the role for ST3, and without much to do they left her behind on Vulcan in ST4 while the TOS crew went back to earth (a deleted scene said she was pregnant with Spock's baby when she helped with his pon farr in the previous movie). Saavik would never be conanically seen again, but Robin Curtis would appear in the 2-part TNG episode Gambit. Saavik was considered to be the traitor Vulcan in ST6 but they could never write it in a convincing way, so they rewrote it to a new character Valeris.
There's long been speculation about some behind the scenes drama to throw in a wrench.
That doesbt seem like drama as much as someone with a sense of humor.
Looks like shes just acting "scandalous" during a "professional" group shot. Dude is tossing bunny ears on Shatner at the same time. Koenig is doing kissy face off to the left too.
Also totally plausible. That the shot exists is what brought up some small rumors/mild speculation.
She is known for her humor. Does a bang up job on Cheers and then follows it up by joining the wackiest religion ever?
Lady knows how to commit to a bit.
What you did there. I see it.
Between the data one above, and this obannon one (which i have bookmarked previously) i am about to stop using emojis and just start using trek shots.
