Aw, too bad! She really cared about keeping things "Roddenberry" in the ST universe. Besides playing a couple of roles in the original series (Spock's mother and Nurse Chapel) she was also the voice of the Enterprise computer. If I understand correctly, she also gave voice to the computer in the forthcoming JJ Abrams re-boot. RIP
I just read that myself...I wonder what her thoughts were on the upcoming movie... Kind of hard to imagine what a long strange trip the Star Trek thing would have been...lackluster beginnings and legendary history...and seeing Capt. Kirk marrying Stargate's Dr. Jackson on another TV show...wow...
Wow, that's awful. Did she have any creative control over the franchise at that point, or does Wesley?
Oh, I hadn't heard... that's too bad RIP I heard she was going to do the computer voice in the new Star Trek coming out next year. I hope they had already recorded...as I'm writing this I realized they can use her sound bites from every other Star Trek series I just got to meet Leonard Nimoy from Star Trek last Friday...nice fellow.
She also flirted with Patrick Stewart when she played Troi's mother in TNG. Sad news....esp as she never got to see the finished cut of the new movie.
