She’s dead Jim.
"She often recalled how Martin Luther King Jr. was a fan of the show and praised her role. She met him at a civil rights gathering in 1967, at a time when she had decided not to return for the show’s second season.
“When I told him I was going to miss my co-stars and I was leaving the show, he became very serious and said, ‘You cannot do that,’” she told The Tulsa (Okla.) World in a 2008 interview.
“‘You’ve changed the face of television forever, and therefore, you’ve changed the minds of people,’” she said the civil rights leader told her.
“That foresight Dr. King had was a lightning bolt in my life,” Nichols said."
RIP to the designer of the Bluetooth headset.
That was nothing. Kirk has a quite a few interspecies kisses on that show. You could always count on him to bang the hot aliens.
I really liked Lt. Uhura from the original series. IMHO, Nichols was far more attractive than the Lt. Uhura in the Star Trek movies of recent years.
I met her once, back in 1988 in Hawaii. Spoke to her for only a few seconds, but she came across as warm and personable. She suffered greatly from dementia during these last 10 years of her life.
I was five when star trek was on TV. I though she was an alien.
Nichelle was smokin hot on the OS. RIP.
