Sad News For Trek Fans

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry (best known as the wife of Gene Roddenberry, and her roles in various incarnations of Trek over the years) has passed away in her home today, at the age of 76. She was diagnosed with leukemia earlier in the year. She was a great lady. May she rest in peace.

She will indeed be missed. Hers was indeed an outstanding (and occasionally ground-breaking, for the times) contribution to the show.

I had no idea that she played Momma Troy. I am such a bad trekkie. :(

Go in peace, Great Lady, and may the Great Bird of the Galaxy gather you unto his nest.
