Last month Majel Barrett Roddenberry, widow of the man himself Gene Roddenberry, and long time Star Trek cameo goddess died at the age of 76. She is most remembered as Nurse Chapel from the original series, Diana Troi’s party animal mom from The Next Generation, and the ever-pleasing voice of all federation computers. More here. Before her death, Majel was able to complete her final voice-overs for J.J. Abrams’ new Star Trek film. RIP.

khanThen only this last Wednesday Ricardo Montalban died at age 88. The ever-suave star lent his talents to the classic TV show Fantasy Island, a couple Planet of the Apes flicks, and most famously the half-mad Nietzchian warlord Khan from the original Trek series and theĀ  Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan. Captain Kirk never faced a more formibable foe. KHAAAN !!! RIP.
