Majel
Roddenberry
Wow. Majel Barret Roddenberry is
like the Holy Grail of Star Trek. I was a little chicken
to go introduce myself at first, and it seemed as though quite a
few other folks were a little intimidated by the prospect of
approaching her too. Ivan finally went to say hello and
ask a few questions. She was soon surrounded by a whole
crowd of other well wishers. She has a great sense of
humor and is very engaging. I won't repeat here what she
said, but she made me laugh really hard!
Mrs. Roddenberry walked by my
table as she was leaving and was stopped by a woman who asked
"Who are you?" Before I realized what was coming
out of my mouth I spoke up and said, "Lady, are you
nuts? Majel turned to me, smiled, and replied, "That's
okay" and in the most down-to-earth fashion proceeded to
recite her entire resume to the woman starting with her role as
Nurse Chapell on Star Trek, the fact that she is Gene
Roddenberry's widow and finally ending with a description of the
two network television series she is currently producing that will
appear on TV this fall. What a great lady.
