The First Lady of Star Trek!
Majel Barrett Roddenberry
(February 23, 1932 - December 18, 2008)

Majel Barrett Roddenberry, better know as the First.
Lady of Star Trek, died December 18 of complications
from leukemia. Born Majel Leigh Hudek, Majel
was best known as Nurse Chappel from the original
Star Trek series, she was also Deanna Trois mother,
Lwaxana in Star Trek - The Next Generation!

After her husband Gene passed on, she carried on the
work for Star Trek, trying to keep his vision alive!
She also was the voice of the computer on all the
incarnations of Star Trek! She also was instrumental
in bringing two of Gene's previously un-produced
tv series, Andromeda and Earth, Final Conflict.

I met Majel a couple of times in Oregon at a couple
of conventions. One was fairly shorly after Genes
passing. She was obviously still trying to cope, but
still showed up and signed autographs for everyone,
as many as they asked for! In this day where every
unknown bit actor is charging an arm and a leg for
autographs, this was especially pleasing!!! Rest in
peace with Gene, Majel! RP
