Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek Actress and NASA Volunteer, is Embroiled in Complicated Conservatorship Situation
|
Earlier this year, Nichelle Nichols, 88, who played Lt. Uhura on the original “Star Trek,” starred in a highly acclaimed documentary, “Woman in Motion.” “Woman in Motion” told the story of Nichols' role in diversifying the American space program, a role
that many don’t know about that the film’s director, Todd Thompson, felt needed to be told.
Nichelle Nichols, a fan favorite who boasts a Hollywood Walk of Fame star and a Life Career Award winner from the Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Film Academy, also volunteered with NASA from 1977 to 2015. She was instrumental in promoting diversity in the recruitment of female and minority astronauts. This initiative led to the recruitment of Dr. Sally Ride, the first female
astronaut in the country.
Now, Nichols is involved in an unfortunate dramatic situation of her own. She finds herself at the center of a conservatorship battle, much like that of singer Britney Spears. Similar to Spears, Nichols is a famous
entertainer at risk of exploitation by her legal conservators. Unlike Spears, Nichols is elderly and suffers from dementia.
