Roddenberry, Majel (Leigh Hudec) (23 February 1932 - )

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry (born Majel Lee Hudec) is an Amercan actress, the widow of Gene Roddenberry.

Known as the “First Lady of Star Trek,” she starred as Nurse Christine Chapel in the original “Star Trek” series and two of the films.

In 1995, she accepted the Humanist Arts Award of the American Humanist Association upon behalf of her late husband. “Gene,” she said, “was a man who loved humanity unconditionally, fearlessly - from rabbis to agnostics, from university professors to the functionally illiterate . . . and, if he had had a chance, from earth person to alien. Humanity - and beyond humanity, people.”
