   None.  Nimoy and Kelly are the only ones who might possibly have some   
   gripe about being upstated.  The others were all supporting players   
   who seem to have bought into Gene's retcon that it was supposed to be   
   an ensemble show.  Shatner himself might have a beef.  As originally   
   envisioned, Kirk was the star of the show, but he himself was   
   increasingly upstaged by Nimoy.  It's not Nimoy's fault that his   
   character became much more popular than originally envisioned,   
   nevertheless it did happen, but you don't see The Shat crying over   
   it.  Even if the others have a beef, it was 40 years ago.  They've   
   only really had to see him for 6 movies since then, all of which they   
   were paid for.   
   But you know, a tell-all book wants dirt.  No one's going to buy a   
   Nichelle Nichols bio that says what a great place it was to work.
