Still sad to see all these icons disappear though. Fortunately we have better access than ever to the media they made which helps them not get forgotten so easily these days.
Star Treck and its actors won't be forgotten. There is always a few shows and a few movies that like a few books make history and survive the times. Star Trek is one of those.
RIP Nichelle Nichols who I always remember as Lt. Uhura of the USS Enterprise.
Indeed
With media stars their work will live forever they have left a lasting mark. Nichelle Nichols was not only a great actress she did more for black women in America than she could have imagined. NASA even worked with her to encourage women to work with them.
Watched the first episode of Star Trek when the news broke. Even now I can see why I loved it all those years ago growing up with it.
The passing of people I grew up with in the media is a constant reminder of my own mortality. Living for each day as it comes here never know what is around the corner!
Nichelle Nichols. You lived long and prospered.

Another gone
I only knew his Zzap art really but that was enough to know he was extremely talented.
I do so regret selling my Zzap mags back in the day, I had a complete collection - in binders too.

You got them in digital format ? I have the complete set and happy to upload to a dropbox shared folder if you want.
