Majel Barrett Roddenberry
The Voice of Star Trek passed away yesterday and I'm completely bummed by the news. Majel Barrett, wife of the show's creator, was the original first officer - the original "Number One" - before she was Nurse Chapel in the series as it aired. She was Lxawana Troi in The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.
And through every Star Trek series and most of the movies, she was the voice of the Enterprise computer. No matter where the shows went, how bad they may have gotten from season to season, there was one constant through 40 years of Star Trek: Majel Barrett.
I think I'll watch some Trek when I get home this evening.
