Agreed. I always thought of her when I heard the ship's computer in the later series.

 

[jodelli]

I am genuinely saddened to hear this.

 

[costabunny]

She has gone where so many have gone before.

[Mord]

This makes me sad.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Sad news indeed.

Am I right in thinking she was the only actor/actress to appear in every incarnation of the TV series, as well as the films?

"appear" is inaccurate, in many things she only has a speaking role as the computer but yes, she's in every star trek production in one way or other.

I loved Star Trek, the original TV series and the various successors, virtually all of them, so I am truly sorry to learn of the death of this impressive actress who effortlessly bridged the entire Trek universe.

Cheers

Are the Ferengi going to be selling pieces of her with certificates of authenticity?

Good enough for me. I know there's another voice actress that did a few of the Star Trek games that Majel didn't.

I wonder how well she did.

She did complete the Computer voice overs on the new Star Trek movie, so there is a final "show" she has for us.
