RIP Majel Barrett Roddenberry

[FozzyBear]

Majel Barrett Roddenberry passed away this morning, December 18, 2008, at 12:27 AM in her Bel Air home. She died peacefully, in her sleep, and was surrounded by family and loved ones.

"My mother truly acknowledged and appreciated the fact that Star Trek fans played a vital role in keeping the Roddenberry dream alive for the past 42 years. It was her love for the fans, and their love in return, that kept her going for so long after my father passed away." - Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry, Jr.


A sad day for Star Trek. It's unsettling to know we'll never hear her voice the computer again.

Yeah, this came as a shock. I wasn't even aware she was sick.

RIP.

I think she finished the voice for the computer in the new movie though.....


Didn't know she was sick either

Definately a sad day.

But the quote raises a question, how peacefully did she die in her sleep, "surrounded by family"? If I'm sleeping, the last thing I wanna know was that I was surrounded by mine.

RIP, Majel. It always cracked me up in Star Trek TNG how she would chase after Picard.
