Majel Barrett as a non-blonde.

:wow:

:bounce:


She was a looker... pity NBC didn't like her having a command role (in a FICTIONAL television show, no less...) I thought she was great in "The Cage"... (the name of the pilot episode, not a go-go cage, like this:


)

1. She was outstanding in that role! Gene and Majel were both ahead of their time

Also very good as Lwaxana Troi

2. Majel is a ghost

3. Her role as Lwaxana Troi is one of my all-time favorites.

4. One account says NBC didn't like her specifically...

...because she was Roddenberry's girlfriend, but they were generally in favor of portraying women in leadership roles. This was a book about ST by one of its producers, Herb Solow. (sp?)
