Called the "First Lady" of Star Trek, Majel Barrett Roddenberry passed away yesterday in her sleep.
She played Nurse Chapel in the original series, and the voice of the computer in all the series, and I believe was cast in that role for J.J. Abrams Star Trek re-boot.
As a fan of Star Trek, I am deeply saddened by this news.
Those wishing to express condolences and/or make donations in lieu of flowers can go through "Rod" Roddenberry's website.
