| | Posted: | | | | NEW YORK (AP) — Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the widow of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry, has died. She was 76. Roddenberry, an actress who appeared in numerous "Star Trek" TV shows and movies, died Thursday of leukemia at her home in Bel-Air, Calif., her representative said.
At Roddenberry's side were family friends and her only son, Eugene Roddenberry Jr. Gene Roddenberry died in 1991.
Her romance with Roddenberry earned her the title "The First Lady of Star Trek." A fixture in the "Star Trek" franchise, her roles included Nurse Christine Chapel in the original "Star Trek," Lwaxana Troi in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and the voice of the USS Enterprise computer in almost every spin-off of the 1966 cult series. She recently reprised the voice role in the upcoming "Star Trek" film directed by J.J. Abrams. |

| | Posted: | | | | At least she had finished her voice over work for the new Trek film: I had the honor of having a dealers table across from her store at a Star Trek convention in the early 80's. To the fans she was very gracious. Even when asked some very stupid questions. Future Star Trek movie and/or T.V. series will not be the same.  | | | | Do Cheshire Cats drink evaporated milk? |

| | Posted: | | | | She will be missed by all of us Trekkers. We can thank her as well for helping keep Star Trek after the death of Gene true to his vision. To borrow something from Stargate, I hope she has ascended to the next level. | | | John
