Nichelle Nichols: Suffers Mild Stroke

My Lord, adjudge my strength, and put me where
I bear a little more than I can bear.


Get well soon, Ms. Nichols!
 
I remember seeing the entire original cast in the first Star Trek convention ever held. It was in New York City in 1972 and I was all of 9 years old. My Dad took me and I had a ball.

Nichelle Nichols sat in the captain's chair on a stage that was a reconstruction of the bridge from the series. She declared that Uhura was FINALLY in the chair in which she belonged and the whole place laughed, cheered and applauded.

She knew how to hold a crowd.

I was surprised even then that the entire cast was still alive. I think I knew a couple of people who had died even at that early age (for me) and I knew that accidents happened to people all the time. I considered myself lucky.

Good luck Nichelle Nichols. I wish you a speedy recovery. Your fans will always love you.
 
Please get well. Ms. Nichols is an icon in the Star Trek world and we cant afford to lose a third classic crew member in such a short time. Best wishes to Ms. nichols and her family for a speedy recovery.

I agree totally!!!!! ~~~ Get Well Soon!!!:)
 
Recovery is fully possible.

I was 31 and had a partial stroke and in 10 days I was out of hospital and on the mend..

I hope she is doing well
 
Nichelle was on Monday night's "Entertainment Tonight", talking about what happened. She looked great but her speech sounded noticeably off. But not too much.
When asked if she definitely had a stroke. she replied "I don't think about it; so it didn't happen." She said the same thing about Leonard Nimoy dying.
My Mom's about the same age and thinks the same way about some things. That's not really a good way to handle things.
