Nichelle Nichols is a legendary actress, author, producer, singer, space activist, NASA Recruiter and spokesperson. She has a vibrant career in television and movies spanning six decades. In 1966, her ground-breaking role as Lt. Nyota Uhura on the original Star Trek TV series brought her an enduring, international fame.

The impact of Nichelle’s iconic portrayal of a strong, smart, and independent, African-American woman reverberated throughout the culture in the late 60’s and 70’s, motivating the Reverend Martin Luther King to praise Nichelle as a positive role model for young African-American women. Her role as Lt. Uhura was noteworthy for many reasons but especially for one breakthrough moment: the first interracial kiss ever shown on national television.

Prior to playing Lt. Uhura in Star Trek, Nichelle Nichols guested on Gene Roddenberry’s first series, The Lieutenant. Born in Robbins, Ill., near Chicago, Nichelle’s remarkable singing voice was discovered by Duke Ellington. On the West Coast, she appeared in “Roar of the Grease Paint, Smell of the Crowd,” “For My People,” gathering high praise for her performance in the James Baldwin play, “Blues for Mr. Charlie.” Following the original Star Trek television series, Nichelle appeared in the first six Star Trek movies. Along with other original Star Trek cast members, she attended the christening of the first space shuttle, Enterprise, at Cape Canaveral.

Since the ‘70s, she’s spent much of her time recruiting minorities for NASA. Several years ago, she toured in a one-woman play where she portrayed famous black female singers of the 20th century. She has also acted as spokesperson for her favorite charity, The Kwanzaa Foundation. Her biography, Beyond Uhura, was published in 1994.

Walter Koenig is a superlative actor, director, screenwriter, novelist, acting professor, and comic book creator. Walter achieved an enduring global fame with his iconic portrayal of Ensign Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek television series.

Walter continued to play Chekov in seven Star Trek feature films. He also appeared in forty different TV series and television movies, including “Anthony and Cleopatra” starring Timothy Dalton and Lynn Redgrave. In a 1997 poll of favorite television bad guys, Koenig was the top choice of 12,000 voters for his role as Bester on Babylon 5. In addition to acting, he’s written several films, I Wish I May, You’re Never Alone When You’re a Schizophrenic), one-act plays, and episodes of select TV shows: Star Trek: The Animated Series, Land Of The Lost, Family, and The Powers Of Mathew Star. He is the author of several books, including his autobiography, Warped Factors: A Neurotic’s Guide to the Universe, Chekov’s Enterprise (a journal kept during production of the first Star Trek movie.) and a science fiction novel, Buck Alice and the ActorRobot, re-released in 2006.

Walter made a celebrated return to his iconic role of Pavel Chekov in the groundbreaking independent film, Star Trek: Of Gods And Men, followed by Star Trek: Renegades and Renegades: The Requiem, now in post-production.
