Book Review: “Laura Banks’s delightful and cheeky new memoir, The Wrath of Blonde, is a humorous, self-deprecating and emotionally honest story of her brush with fame while piloting the Reliant in Star Trek II, the Wrath of Khan, almost getting blown up in the jungles of the Philippines for Roger Corman, striking out with Warren Beatty and failing to fall under the hypnotic, Svengali-like spell of Jack Nicholson among others, including a short-lived, but torrid romance with the Enterprise’s charismatic skipper himself. Banks’s Hollywood story as she navigates the pinnacles and pitfalls of showbiz regales her readers in this fun, breezy read. – Mark A. Altman (writer/producer, Free Enterprise; showrunner, Pandora; host, Inglorious Treksperts)
