    seems plausible

    screenshot of wikipedia text "Some sources state that Butrick was homosexual.[8] Kirstie Alley, his co-star in Star Trek II, identified Butrick as being bisexual.[9]" with citation 9 saying "Alley, Kirstie (2012). Art of Men (I Prefer Mine Al Dente). Simon & Schuster."

    out of curiosity i found her book; it only has two sentences about him:

    screenshot of text "I got married in 1983 while I was simultaneously doing a TV series and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof onstage. I’d done Star Trek II in 1981 and I was slightly crushed out on my young, bisexual costar Merritt Butrick, who became my friend. Sadly, he died of AIDS in 1989 at the young age of 29."

    … and one photo:

    photograph with caption "Merrit Butrick and I goofing around on the set of my first movie, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan."

      Thanks for the informative read. Unfortunately, since everything is wrapped in a spoiler tag, none of the links/pics show appropriately.

        it renders fine for me on the web.

        which client are you using? if images in spoilers don’t work, that is a bug.

          I’m on Connect, guess they haven’t figured out how to keep those connections separated yet.
