Here's a salute to the First Lady of Star Trek, Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, who passed away today at the age of 76. The widow of Gene Roddenberry appeared on every incarnation of Star Trek, and if you don't think of her as Nurse Chapel from the original series, she's probably the "Voice of the Computer," which is what she recorded for the upcoming J.J. Abrams movie. . . .
She also played "Number One" in the original pilot episode ("The Cage") and Counselor Troi's mother ("the Auntie Mame of the Cosmos") in Next Generation. |
