#1 *Every* computer that was female voiced in every flavor of StarTrek was done by Majel Barrett Rodenberry.

Kinda tough to say goodby to childhod TV idols. Gene and Majel Rodenberry, Deforest Kelly, Jimmy Doohan...

Its a shame we will likely never see another guy inspire Engineers/Tech like "Scotty".

#4 ...Had the opportunity to meet and speak with her briefly in the early 90s. Utterly charming, wickedly funny, and even then drop dead gorgeous.
