Dying Probably

Nichelle Nichols

Recommended Posts

Well known for portraying Nyota Uhura in Star Trek, as well as being asked by MLK himself to stay on the show when she considered quitting. She was also Dorinda in Truck Turner.

Suffered a stroke in 2015 and has dementia. Possibly a good pick for 2022, considering she's 88.

There's a "crew of the USS enterprise" thread - i don't think she needs one of her own, but agree she is one to watch.

Nichelle? Was that fat finger syndrome when typing in her name on the birth cert?

I'll assume it's not a hoax. 

 

Or, ironically, a miscommunication...:P

 

RIP.

Only my first hit this year, I've started to forget I had a list at all.

Ironically my first DDP hit for my main team, although I did pick David Birney on one of my theme teams.

She's been on my list for at least a couple of years, and finally gives me another hit this year.  Been a slow year for me.  Didn't even get the correct Celtics legend on my list.

Yet another miss by the list

I don’t consider it a miss.  
She wasn’t particularly I’ll or ancient.  I’d have much more likely been bitching she was ON the list.

She was extremely ill. Her dying of *natural causes* is a stretch.

She was ill, so that's natural causes.

Unnatural causes is murder, suicide, accident.
