A sad day in Trekdom - Majel Barrett Roddenberry died

I got to see her at a con in St. Louis back in the 80s. She circulated in the autograph line (along with DeForest Kelley) signing.

Oh, that makes me so sad. I adored Majel Barrett; she was absolutely wonderful as Lwaxanna Troi on TNG. I often wished they had kept her as #1 in the original Trek.

Yup... she was a phenomenal, gracious lady. I had the chance to meet her in the 90's... very sweet and kind. I understand she had only recently finished doing the voice over of the ship's computer for the new 'prequel' Trek movie...

RIP Lwaxana... you will be missed.

Well her and gene are exploring the galaxies together. She was great in all the Star trek shows and movies.

She's lived long and prospered but it was time to leave this earth to join her "Great Bird of the Galaxy". RIP Majel Barret-Roddenberry.

I loved her!!! I was so glad to hear her as the voice of the computer in the newer ones. Sort of comforting.

Her character of Lwaxana Troi was a hoot!

I imagine there is enough recorded of her as the computer voice they may never need anyone else.

....RIP to her....

I am sorry to see her go, she played Lwaxanna to the nines. She seemed really cool.

Sometime around 1977 or so, I was lucky enough to see Gene Roddenberry speak on societal evolution at the University of Texas at Austin, and Majel was with him there (not speaking, though). He was a true visionary, and she was all feisty and fun... they seemed to have a great marriage. I hope they're together again somewhere now.
