It's a bit sad that the linked Star Trek’s Nichelle Nichols: a life in pictures consists mostly of pictures of Nichols connected to 'Star Trek'. As much as I love Star Trek, and Nichols in it, it's a bit tragic that this one television show so strongly restricted the careers of so many of its cast. Nichols had other talents, but was never quite able to get out of the shadow of this one show.
Still, at least we had this one show and this one Black lady in it. Thanks, Nichelle. (And thanks to Martin Luther King for convincing her to stay with it!)
Sad day. She leaves us with only three remaining OG Star Trek cast members: Koening, Takei, and The Shat.
ahem... "Koenig"
