Dying Probably 234 Posted February 18 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.

Slackhurst Broadcasting 51 Posted February 18 Early in her career she did some work modelling leather fetish wear - c.1962, so still rather a niche market at the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
