LOS ANGELES — Funeral services were held for Majel Barrett Roddenberry, "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry's widow who played Nurse Christine Chapel in the original sci-fi TV series.
Friends, family and Trekkies were among more than 250 people who attended the funeral Sunday at a Los Angeles cemetery. Roddenberry died of leukemia at her Bel-Air home Dec. 18. She was 76.
Among the mourners were "Star Trek" stars Nichelle Nichols, George Takei and Walter Koenig.
Three people wore Star Fleet Academy formal tunics, and many others sported "Star Trek" rings, pins or medallions.
Roddenberry was involved in the "Star Trek" universe for more than four decades. She played the dark-haired Number One in the original pilot, but metamorphosed into the blond, miniskirted Nurse Chapel in the 1966-69 TV series. She had smaller roles in all the show's TV successors.

The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I would have loved to have been there.
Is she going to be shot up into space?
