Just curious how the ex-actors rank in terms of popularity and desrability as guests? What do they get paid for attending these conventions?
It would seem to me to go without saying that Shatner and Nimoy are by and far the most desirable, especially as they do not do nearly as many as they did back in the fallow days of the 1970s.
On the other hand, the late Jimmy Doohan sometimes did nearly fifty weekends a year at cons up until the last four or five years of his life.
Also have wondered what they made per con, no real idea, just a guess of maybe food, lodging, airfare, and maybe 2K per, more for the big cons. No real clue, though.
