Star Trek DS9 – MICHAEL DORN Worn Prosthetics – “WORF’s” Head and Nose Pieces

June 26, 2011 Posted in Blue Screen Photography of Kurt Kuhn, Prop Collection of Kurt Kuhn, Star Trek, Star Trek Selections

During my time as a collector, I have had the great honor of meeting, and even befriending, and working with some of the Cast Members, Make-up Artists, and Prop Handlers, and of course model builders from all of the Television series and blockbuster films we all enjoy. Because so, I was able to acquire this authentic piece after DS9 ended. My friend Karen Westerfield, whom was Armin Shimerman’s (Quark’s) Make-up Artist, was able to get the only surviving piece for me after it’s use by Michael Dorn on DS9. Usually these pieces were destroyed. As stated, and being that Paramount was quite strict in it’s protection of these pieces, it is believed that this may be the only surviving Head and Nose piece actually worn on the show, making it very rare and keeping it’s value quite high.
