Dec 18, 4:08 PM (ET)

NEW YORK (AP) - Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the widow of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry, has died. She was 76. Roddenberry, an actress who appeared in numerous "Star Trek" TV shows and movies, died Thursday of leukemia at her home in Bel-Air, Calif., her representative said.

At Roddenberry's side were family friends and her only son, Eugene Roddenberry Jr. Gene Roddenberry died in 1991.

Her romance with Roddenberry earned her the title "The First Lady of Star Trek." A fixture in the "Star Trek" franchise, her roles included Nurse Christine Chapel in the original "Star Trek," Lwaxana Troi in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and the voice of the USS Enterprise computer in almost every spin-off of the 1966 cult series. She recently reprised the voice role in the upcoming "Star Trek" film directed by J.J. Abrams.

I haven't been this upset since the wife of the guy that invented the Slinky died.

I wonder if Shatner ever got it on with her?

That was her? I didn't realize, she was a hottie

I guess God needed someone to man sick bay while the away team beamed down for further investigations.

R.I.P. not sure why I always though Kirk's yoeman was her for some reason though.

When her personal assistant found out the prognosis, he gasped and said, "She'll die!" Her oncologist said, "She's dead already!"

Is there any doubt?

Let's get her to Genesis.

You know, AJ, I set this line up just for you and you should be ashamed you didn't get it.

Majel was OK, but she milked Gene's legacy for shows past Trek, with Andromeda and that Alien show with the wrist weapons... Invasion Earth? Operation Earth? Something...

[A.J.]

You know, AJ, I set this line up just for you and you should be ashamed you didn't get it.

I did get it! That's why I mentioned Genesis.

Actually, I was going to make a Roger Korby reference but I was so ashamed of myself for such a nerdy Trek subreference.
