NEW YORK — The woman who was known as "The First Lady of Star Trek" has died.
Majel Barrett Roddenberry was an actress who was married to "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry.
She appeared in the original Star Trek series as Nurse Christine Chapel, and also had a role in "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
She was also the voice of the USS Enterprise computer in almost every spin-off of the 1960s cult series.
A representative says she died today of leukemia at her home in Bel-Air, Calif.
Her husband died in 1991.
My favorite scene had to be in Deep Space Nine, season one "The Forsaken", when Lwaxana and Odo are trapped in the lift and Odo needs to revert back to his liquid form. The way she looked after him in that time, it was just so sweet.
