Star Trek actress and NASA recruitment ambassador Nichelle Nicols is recovering in hospital following a stroke.
Nichols – best known for playing Lt Nyota Uhura on TV and in the Star Trek film franchise – suffered a mild stroke while at her home in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening.
Her agent Zach McGinnis informed Nichols’ followers on her Facebook page of the stroke. In an update, he said Nichols had undergone a CAT scan and MRI, and was awake and eating as of Thursday evening.
Nichols has shown minor signs of loss of mobility but otherwise no signs of paralysis.

Prayers for Miss Nichols’ health and healing.
