Majel Barret Majel Barrett-Roddenberry (born Majel Lee Hudec on February 23 in Columbus, Ohio ) is an American actress and widow of television director/producer/writer Gene Roddenberry Majel Barrett played several onscreen roles in the various incarnations of Star Trek , the popular science fiction TV series . She first appeared in Star Trek 's initial pilot episode " The Cage " as the USS Enterprise 's unnamed First Officer. According to the book Inside Star Trek: The Real Story by Herbert Solow and Bob Justman , Barrett was cast as Number One because she was romantically involved with Roddenberry at the time. Solow and Justman claim the network was furious that Roddenberry would attempt to put an unknown actress in such a prominent role simply because she was his girlfriend, and allege that Roddenberry later claimed that the network told him to remove her because they did not want a woman to be in such a high position of authority. Her role was changed to that of Nurse Christine Chapel when Star Trek became a series, and two decades later she was cast as the outrageously determined and iconoclastic

February 1996 - Majel And Babylon 5 For years, majel barrett had appeared among the esteemed celebrities at cult science Because as the wife of Star Trek creator Gene roddenberry, http://users.aol.com/majelr/b5.html
Extractions: For years, Majel Barrett had appeared among the esteemed celebrities at cult science fiction conventions both as "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry's widow and for her recurring roles in all three "Star Trek" television series and two of the six motion pictures. And each time she mentioned what many consider "Star Trek's" key rival the Emmy Award-winning TV series, "Babylon 5" the response, Barrett remembers appreciatively, were shouts of "Bravo!" and "Hooray!," followed by applause. Then finally, last fall Barrett's intergalactic path fatefully converged at a sci-fi convention in England with that of JMS as "Babylon 5's" revered creator, J. Michael Straczynski, is know by his legions of on-line internet fans. It seems that word had reached Straczynski that "The First Lady of Star Trek" would welcome an invitation to appear in his compelling space saga, in which the competing interests of five diverse races (four of them alien) threaten to escalate into an interstellar holocaust. So upon meeting Barrett, Straczynski extended an invitation for her to appear in a pivotal guest role. She graciously accepted. The script was delivered to her hotel the next morning. "And six weeks later we shot the show. It was just that simple. Just that easy," she delightfully recounts. "It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen. This is a big, important drama which is playing out over a period of five years, and Joe (Straczynski) knows exactly where this story is going to go and how it's going to get there," Barrett says of the show's unique continuing storyline.

Babylon 5 is probably the most exciting show on television this season. I watched Majel's performance and was again struck by how much she reminds me of my mother. But that aside, she gave a very interesting speech, which I interpreted as a direct homage to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry (her late husband), though it was

Any misinterpretations or errors are solely my own. This page is entertainment, not journalism. Jump to the links section. Majel was greeted with wild applause which she graciously acknowledged. Apparently, however, she was deeply upset both by conversations she had while signing autographs and by emails she's been receiving at her website. Local fans complained that "Earth: Final Conflict" was being moved around so much by local stations that they kept missing it. It was Majel's understanding that it was being shown Saturday at 7pm "you couldn't ask for a better time"and repeated once moreso she was at a loss. "If you aren't seeing it shown when its supposed to be, then please, write or call your local station and complain. You have the greatest power here." "Earth: Final Conflict" has gone through major changes in its 2nd season and the fans have been complaining to Majelsome using quite strong language. While she was deeply involved in bringing the show on air and in the first season's production, she is no longer being consulted. "I was shown the new season's changes and when I objected to some of them, I was told 'the ship has sailed'. So if you like the show, I cannot take credit for it. If you don't like it, please, DON'T BLAME ME!"

Extractions: STARSHIP TO ANDROMEDA by Michelle Erica Green Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the first lady of science fiction, needs no introduction. After playing Nurse Chapel and Lwaxana Troi on Star Trek and producing Earth: Final Conflict , she committed herself to bringing her late husband's Andromeda to television. Her newest project is Gene Roddenberry's Starship , and although the fate of that series has been thrown into turmoil with the layoffs at Stan Lee Media in the weeks since this interview, she remains determined to bring it to Gene's fans. What do you think of Andromeda now that you've seen it? I think it's spectacular. I thought it was spectacular from the very beginning. It's so creative. You can go so much further with it and you can use your imagination so much better. I find that out of that comes the truth and honesty that we look for all the time in all of Gene's projects and in some of the stuff, we didn't get it. Of all the unlikely places to find it after all these years, I'm finding a lot of it right here. So I couldn't be happier. And Kevin is an angel to work with, an absolute angel. How much time have you spent with the cast?

Extractions: Keeping the Roddenberry Legacy Alive by Michelle Erica Green Majel Barrett Roddenberry needs no introduction, having appeared on three generations of Star Trek and having produced several other series. Her space adventure Andromeda will be on the air next fall, while Earth: Final Conflict is in its fourth syndicated season. When she's not overseeing shows left unfinished by her late husband, Gene Roddenberry, she voices the computer on Star Trek Voyager and makes guest appearances on various shows, many of which grew out of the Roddenberry legacy. She cites not only the Trek successors, but The X-Files Babylon 5 (on which she has guest starred), and the Sci-Fi Channel's lineup, all of which emerged from the passion for televised science fiction generated by Star Trek "I think there's always a place for good science fiction, anyplace, so I think it's wonderful that all these shows have happened," says Barrett (credited alternately as Majel Barrett, Majel Barrett Roddenberry, and Majel Roddenberry, but referred to here by her screen name to distinguish her from her husband). Though proud of the Trek legacy, she's more involved these days in producing several newer projects. " Andromeda is very exciting," she reports. "It will be somewhat on the order I think of

Extractions: A: The Tech is so much more advanced now. That would be the biggest difference for me. this is practically nothing we CAN"T do visually right now so that is why our concentration will always be on story and character. It's been a great experience. I didn't realize how much easier it was to b in front of the camera than it is "Upstairs" trying to make decisions for the show. Q: Other than the one about Kevin Kilner, no. I assume you are aware of the Starlog report that he would not be returning.....a lot of people are taking that as the official word, and I'd like to get it cleared up.

Extractions: Majel Barrett Roddenberry: An Interview By Jim Plaxco On October 1 (1994), just before the start of the Planetary Studies Foundation's Annual Benefit Dinner, I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the guest of honor. Also present were a reporter from the Daily Herald and Mike Caplan, the WLS-TVweatherman, who was serving that evening as the master of ceremonies. Jim Plaxco (JP): Just to begin with a question of historical interest, why did Gene [ Roddenberry ] do Star Trek - why didn't he do a western or a comedy or something more traditional? Majel Barrett Roddenberry (MBR): Because he didn't write a western or a comedy at that time. JP: But what motivated him to go for something like Star Trek? MBR: The idea of having a series that is producing some money. That's all. Nothing more than that. He wrote other shows. He wrote a lot of westerns. He was head writer for "Have Gun, Will Travel". He was a very well known western writer. As a matter of fact, Star Trek was "Wagon Train to the Stars." That was the original concept of it. That's how it was supposed to happen. JP: I also understand that Gene was quite a supporter of the space program.
