Personal Quote:
[in 1994 interview, on Star Trek (1966)] I know I'm never going up, for real, in anybody's rocket ship. I know this because I hate to fly. Gene Roddenberry's vision always included a multi-ethnic group of people. I thought that was pretty amazing. Being on Star Trek has been a great way to sort of expand on the universe and be a part of it. See more »Trivia:
She was inspired to become an actress by watching Nichelle Nichols' portrayal of Nyota Uhura on the original Star Trek (1966) series. See more »Trademark:
