Christian attacks Shatner over advance
January 10, 2007 
Actress Claudia Christian, star of Babylon 5, has attacked famed corset-wearer William Shatner for allegedly trying to kiss her when they worked together in the 1980s.
Shatner, who was known to wear a corset in order to fulfil the macho role of Captain Kirk in the cult television series Star Trek, was accused of making a move on Christian while both were filming police drama TJ Hooker in the early 80s.
Despite playing the archetypal ladies man in the sci-fi world, Shatner's advances were apparently not welcomed.
"I do remember him trying to shove his tongue down my throat in his dressing room after eating Thai food," Christian told PageSix.com, adding that she regretted not punching him in his corseted torso.
"He was a bit of an arse - he was already wearing his corset back them, so I should have punched him in his stomach."
