I didn't have to think twice, knew this tribute would be coming from you soon. Such a beautiful woman and a credit to women of all colors. And so nice of you to do this when we lose our favorite people. Thank you.

She is part of my teenage times as a fan of Star Trek.
A classy and wonderful woman.

Kissing Captain Kirk (William Shatner) was the first interacial kiss on TV.

May she rest in Peace.

Milleson - You are very welcome. She will be missed.

JiEL - I remember that kiss.

I was a heavy trekkie back in the day - sad that her last few years were not pleasant and enjoyable - thanks for this wonderful set of pics

Heard of this sad news in the UK this morning with great sadness, a beautiful lady in so many ways who will be greatly missed, her legacy and memory will however remain. Rest in peace dear lady. X

It just astounds me how... exceptional she was all through her life. Singer, actor, activist. Reading her obituary... such a remarkable... remarkable woman!

Of course, her major influence on me was as a child watching Trek. In her, I knew there was a better world ahead.

Nice tribute, Rick. She was a beautiful, classy lady, who was ahead of her time. She will be sorely missed. :(

I was so sad to learn of her passing. She was a beautiful woman and a good actress. It will be a sadder planet without her.

SickoRicko said...

Everyone - I agree with all of you. She was very amazing.

Captain Kirk was my first Star Trek crush; Lieutenant Ohura was my second!

LeftField - Spock was my heartthrob.

May you rest in peace Nichelle Nichols. What a beautiful women inside and outside.

She was suggested by Dr, Martin Luther King, you must stay with the show, (she was thinking about not staying) and stay she did.



SickoRicko said...

Scott - I was not aware of that until Jerry - and now you - told me that. I'm glad she stayed.

Very sad. Seems Martin Luther King was a big fan of hers and the reason she didn't quit Star Trek and return to Broadway after season #1. She ended up being quite the activist... for blacks and lesbians. Thanks for the photos.
