Q for Mike: Actor salaries

[Will]

Hi Mike,
Did you ever find information about how much CBS paid Lord and the rest of the regulars per episode?

I figure Lord got about as much as a typical leading man in an hour drama got. For instance, William Shatner initially got $5K per episode as
Star Trek's Captain Kirk in 1966 (and as many of us know, Lord was offered that role before Shatner). I can imagine that MacArthur got considerably less (back to Trek, Leonard Nimoy originally got $1250/episode). As for the rest, I wouldn't be surprised if Zulu and Kam Fong Chun, both essentially amateurs when they were cast, were offered anything other than SAG minimum at first.
