Majel Barrett-Roddenberry died today at age 76. I knew she had been ill recently, but had no idea she was dying. She was probably best known as classic Star Trek's Nurse Chapel, or as The Next Generation/Deep Space Nine's Lwaxana Troi, but as the widow of Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, she was a large part of keeping the franchise alive. She even helped bring some of her husband's other ideas to television. Ms. Barrett-Roddenberry was always a hit with fans. I'm still kicking myself for not going to a Trek convention she was a guest at several years ago.

I just put my Nurse Chapel and Mrs. Troi action figures (yes, I collect Trek toys) on my computer desk. *is sad* RIP, Majel. You will be missed by Trekkies everywhere. :(
