I loved her in the role of Troi's mother. She was always good at making Picard cringe at the thought of her coming on board. A member of the cast that will be missed.--LavenderIf you don't like vanilla, try some chocolate.Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 1:06 AMSubject: Re: [RE][scifinoir2] Majel Roddenberry, wife of 'Trek' creator, diesMajel was so far ahead of the times when she was cast as Number One in the first Trek pilot. I have always wondered what she could have done with that role, had she not been knocked down to being not even a doctor, but a nurse assisting Bones. Gene Roddenberry always hated that the networks made him do that, but fortunately she went on to have a long and rich life in acting. And in "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", they even took pains to mention that she had finally become a doctor!-------------- Original message ------------ --

Hailing frequencies closed, Number One.
For me, this is like royalty has passed. The TOS crew is getting small.
I think I was the one to break this news to Wil Wheaton via Twitter,
which sucks. My heart goes out to Rod, their son. movie #11 is
coming out and both his mom and dad are gone.
