WTF. I just always figured she was dead like 30 years ago too. Maybe the stupid fucking short-bangs haircut she popularized will die with her. Nothing worse than a sexy woman uglifying her stupid face with that haircut. |
I'd heard about the heart attack a day or so ago, guess the damage finally resolved. Her career in "those kinds" of films died off around the late-mid-50's when she focused on Christianity and missionary work.

Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the wife of Star Trek creator, Gene Roddenberry, passed away this morning from complications with Leukemia at the age of 76. Not only was she Gene's wife and muse, she was also Nurse Chapel on the original series; Lwaxana Troi, Deanna's mother, on TNG; and the voice of the Enterprise computer in most of the incarnations of the show, including the new movie.
I wouldn't really call myself a trekker, but I am a fan of the original series, TNG, and DS9. This event saddens me.

 RIP Hacker. |

Hopefully they dedicate the new film to her, since it was her final role.

First Forrest Ackerman, now Majel Barrett. It's been a sad two weeks for science-fiction fans.

Professor CommonVirtue, the polar-opposite twin brother of renowned douchebag RegalSin, had his brains explode trying to read his own brother's posting. And guess what happens when your brain explodes? Bye bye.

In what seems to be a recurring theme with deceased Trek actors, Majel Roddenberry's remains will be shot into space where they will hopefully join with her husband's.
