Her most famous role was Nyota Uhura from the 1966–1969 Star Trek series.

She and Eartha Kitt (Catwoman #3 on Batman) paved the way for African-American women to star in TV shows. R.I.P.

Well we more or less knew it was coming, but it's still sad to see. Only 3 of the original cast left now.

A sad one indeed. Kurtzmans trek post really pissed me off . The part about 'She opened my eyes to what star trek is and could be'. Bull ****. he pissed all over the legacy of classic trek and it is in the toilet thanks to him and secret hideout. of course, all the woke wanksters came after the tweet in typical fashion :).

I wonder if she knew about garbage man roddenberry making an apperance on the show shoveling poop?

A very sad loss that reminds people of their mortality. She was an icon!
