Damn...she was super cool ...super smart and super sexy.
A very together person so to speak...and one who helped paved the way for many other actors and actresses.

Rest in peace. She was a great actress and a net positive to the world. Glad she lived a long and fruitful life.

The universe is a bit darker today, with the light that she shone now extinguished...

RIP, Nyota...

He was awesome as Bester in Babylon 5

On topic; Ms Uhura, may she rest in peace

Sadly, his son (Andrew Koenig, aka "Boner" on Growing Pains) passed at an early age.

Perhaps you are thinking of Anton Yelchin, he played Chekov in the reboot trilogy. Yelchin was crushed to death by his 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee on June 19, 2016.

Another bit of trivial trivia...Nichelle Nichols and William Shatner (91) had the first interracial kiss on television. She was also a mistress to Gene Roddenberry along with Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel) who he he later married.

Often repeated, but I don't think that was true.

How about Lucy and Desi? Hispanic isn't quite the same, or is it?







Bill got involved ...

William Shatner, a Canadian of European ancestry, kisses France Nuyen, originally from France, of Asian ancestry

I was never much of a Trekkie. But even at age 11, I noticed that her uniform fit very nicely. It's sad to see American icons from my childhood (like Tony Dow this week too) passing. RIP

Sad news, Starfleet has lost one of its finest! She was one of the greats, and paved the way for others to follow, she was the definition of Class, long may her journey through out the stars continue, to boldly go where none have gone before!
