If you’ve ever seen or heard “Star Trek”, then you know who Majel Barrett-Roddenberry is – whether you realize it or not. She was the voice of the ships’s computer in every incarnation of the “Star Trek” franchise – even the fan film series “Star Trek: Phase II”.

She passed away yesterday at her home after a short battle with leukemia.

Majel played numerious roles on “Star Trek” from the very beginning of the series when she was cast as the first officer named “Number One”. Through the original series she played Nurse Chapel, and in the Next Generation Era she was Luwaxana Troy. Each character engaging and fun.

More than that, though, she was considered by many as “The First Lady of Star Trek”. Those of us here at TV Jab send our thoughts and prayers to her family, specifically her son “Rod”. It is our belief that she is “boldy going” to a better place, and we wish her well.
