Dang. Such a cool lady. RIP.

She was awesome. I remember having the biggest crush on her in the Star Trek series when I was a kid

 

[j_garcia]

wow. RIP Nichelle. She was great on that show. She was at Comicon here a few years back, we got to see her at her booth but didn't want to wait in that line for an Autograph. We did get to see Shatner speak and we were just a few rows back. Nerdfest lol, but he was a good speaker.

 

[Hobbit]

She will be missed.

Sad news she had charisma and acting skills. Shatner and Takai are the last standing.

The dude died in 2016 and not what I would call alive.

Walter Koenig is still alive....he was the original.

 

[Trebdp83]

Yeah, I knew Anton had died but didn't think Walter had gone yet. Shatner will outlive us all. Some say he made a deal with the devil. Some say he actually is the devil. That would explain a lot.

Walter Koenig is still alive....he was the original.

Isn't that a low bar or something?

Just being alive is somewhat a low bar I suppose....
