He might have. It happened last week. If the name doesn't ring a bell, the face almost certainly would. She played Lieutenant Uhura, fourth in command of the Starship Enterprise in the Star Trek tv series that launched in the late 1960s.

The Enterprise was the space equivalent of an aircraft carrier, and to have a senior officer of such a ship be both a Black and a woman, in the 1960s, and treat it like it was just a normal event in the future, was a very big deal. Black women in entertainmen had mostly played maids, dancers or hookers before that.


Other recent losses were Bill Russell, Vin Scully, Roger Mosley, Tony Dow, and Paul Sorvino. The Boomers and the Silent Generation are shuffling off this mortal coil, and it is not just a trickle now.

I ran into James Dothan(Scotty) at the Kirkland (Seattle area)Costco two different times. I’m related to DeForrest Kelly who played Dr. McCoy.

Tony Dow is dead ? How did the beaver take it ?

Apparently not, most of his posts start with "I didn't know that.....

Which makes absolutely no sense because it is obvious he does know
if it is a reason for posting on a given subject.

One of these posters who likes to dominate the board with mostly off topic subjects.

Self-contradicting statements confuse you.

Sad and interesting facts about nichelle nichols:

Her younger brother was a member of the Heaven's Gate cult, a space themed cult that used lingo from star trek. He was part of the "Heaven's Gate Away Team" who donned track suits and nikes to hied themselves to Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997.

Late in life, she was the victim of manipulation and elder abuse from either her manager-turned-caretaker or her son. It was covered in a really sad episode of Who Do You Believe (the ending of each episode is open-ended)

I assume that he knew. Otherwise, he would have posted that he didn't, right? ;)
