William Shatner Facts
Received 2011 Governor General's Lifetime Achievement Award in the Performing Arts. Received an honorary Doctorate from his alma mater, McGill University.

In his early performing days, Shatner was once required to play the piano in a scene (with music supplied off-camera), then pull a weapon from a drawer to kill another actor. First the piano cue went badly, then the only "weapon" available turned out to be a corkscrew. Shatner carried on, and in his own words, "I screwed him to death!"

Remained friends with Heather Locklear during and after "T.J. Hooker" (1982).
