Nichelle Nichols (Ohura) also did not sign.

Most non-trekies do not know that she and Shatner (Kirk) had the first inter-racial kiss on national TV. At that time, doing so was extremely brave and controversial.

She’s very smart, too.

Even though some of my favorite Star Trek actors did not participate in this idiocy, I am no longer a Trekie as of NOW. They can GT#.

One of my favorite parodies is "Galaxy Quest", especially the part with Sigourney Weaver:

GWEN: At least you had a PART. You had a character people loved! My TV Guide interview was six paragraphs about this body suit. About my legs. How did I perfect my trademark sidesaddle pose? Nobody ever bothered to ask what I DO on the ship...

FRED: You were the, uh... Wait I'll think of it...

GWEN: I repeated the computer. "It's getting hotter, Commander!", "The ship is disintegrating, Commander!" Nothing I did EVER affected the plot, not ONCE! Nothing I did was ever taken seriously!"

I met her at a DragonCon many years ago, very classy and nice lady.
