Big boo

She was good in B5 as well may have to watch all the B5 series again now.

Shame

Good to see that she managed to get the voice done for the new film though.

Such a shame, she was a big part of Star Trek and was great as Deanna's mother in TNG. RIP

Was she in TOS (as the computer on the rare occasions that happend)? Genuinely can't remember. I know what else she played there of course.

It was inevitable it was going to happen but it's a real shame to know that so many of the original cast are now gone.

Requiescat In Pace

She was Christine Chapel in TOS as well as Number One in the original pilot, not sure if she was the 'pooter as well.

/edit - Wiki, it say she was the computer in TOS as well.
