But...but... Lwaxana....she... :cry:

This sucks! Majel is integral to the ST universe! That's it, no more ST if she can't be the computer. :(

:o...wow...just wow. At least now she's with Gene.

I just heard about this on the radio on the way home from work.

Extremely sad. :( :( :( :( :( :(

She will be deeply missed :-(

omg, I was checking my email & saw this in the news thread. I'm very sad and she will indeed be missed :(

:cry::cry::cry:


WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*snif*


She was sweet. I met her many times years back when I used to go to cons.

Okay, December's been a rough month. Forry Ackerman, Bettie Page, and now Majel Roddenberry?

:tcry:

as the Doctor once said, "everything has it's time, everything dies"

I didn't know Majel had leukemia. Poor thing. No more pain for her, her passing is a good thing. She is with her Great Bird of the Galaxy now. They should do the same with her remains as they did with Gene's.

Sadly, it was just recently announced that she would be reprising her “role” as the voice of the enterprise in the new Star Trek movie coming out in the next year, R.I.P. Mrs. Roddenberry.

Hopefully her remains won't have as much trouble getting into space as James Doohan's....last I heard the rocket had plunged somewhere in the Pacific... :ohwell:

The Leukemia must have come on pretty quickly as she finished her voice work on the new movie on Dec 4th. I hadn't heard a thing about her being sick and roddenberry.com says it was a short battle and that she died peacefully in her sleep.

They have a thread on their forum where you can post your memories and condolences and stuff:

I've never heard of her before, but well, rest in peace.

turn on an old star trek eppie and she's the one in the light blue nurse's outfit who had a crush on Spock. then later on TNG she voiced enterprise's computers THEN...was Deanna Troi's mommie Lxwana Troi...and then voiced MORE computers as trek grew and went on. She was a really nice nice lady, she gave so much of her time to fans and really seemed to enjoy ever second of it. Her presence will sorely be missed.

omg a little known fact? i wonder if this it ture

The Union Pacific Railroad also enlisted her voice talents for their track-side defect detector devices, used in various locations deployed west of the Mississippi River. When a defect is identified, the system responds with her recorded voice announcing information to the train's head-end crew.
