Having confronted Dr. Chuck, Owen E. Oulton, International Man Of Mystery, 
exclaimed:
 
 CM>         Well, from what I have heard TOS Klingons were supposed to have
 CM>         the ridges and the makeup but the costs would have been too
 CM>         high and so they went with the "Mongol look" instead.  
 OEO> You heard incorrectly.  The Klingons were specifically created by Gene
 OEO> Coon as a low-cost alternative to producing expensive Romulan ears for
 OEO> lots of extras.  They really didn't have any idea what they wanted as
 OEO> long as it was done with ordinary makeup techniques.  The Space Mongol
 OEO> look was created on the fly by actor John Colicos (Kor) and his makeup
 OEO> man, almost certainly Fred Philips. 
      So it was Colicos and Phillips that was responsible for the 
original "Mongol Hoard" look and not Roddenberry?  I dimly recall Gene 
R. taking credit for the original concept...

... "I think not," said Iain, and Echosia promptly disappeared.
