Who is that? To science fiction and especially Star Trek fans she is truly a familar name. Majel was the wife of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. She was also a key actress on several of the Trek series as she played numerous roles such as Dr. McKoy's nurse assistant in the original series, the voice of several Starfleet computers and the mother of Deanna Troia on Star Trek the Next Generation.
For those that are fans of Star Trek this is terrible news. For those that aren't into Star Trek I'm telling you that this is a terrible loss as this woman was a big advocate of science fiction and is one of the biggest reasons why Star Trek has been around for so long. For those that have never discovered Star Trek or for those that may rediscover it this May when the new J.J. Abrams Trek comes out, we all need to recognize that this is a loss and her story will always be remembered. Not only in Star Trek lore but in the whole world of science fiction.
