Anyone visiting here even casually is aware of my Uhura fixation; blame it on my imprinting on her at the emergence of my puberty in 1973, I guess. Anyway, here is an article on Nichelle from the April/May 1990 edition of the Official Fan Club Magazine. First, the cover of the issue, which is from one of my favorite publicity photos, which places Uhura where I felt she should have been, one of the four main characters.

Notice that Spock is not objecting to what would be an invasion of space from anyone else.

It sounds as if you and I are of similar age: Uhura and U.F.O.'s Gabrielle Drake (was that her name?) caught the eye of my hormone years, as well! Interesting you should mesh the two in what was a very good photoshop job: how 'off' those often look, eh?
Nichelle N., when all-too-seldom given the chance to contribute, always did a lot with a little. Her expressions and intonations, for example, when Kirk would get impatient and snippy with her on the bridge from time to time, would convey so much you could practically read her mind. Watch some of those with the mute on, and the impression is the same. She really had a lot of presence!
Pat,
Thanks so much for doing Uhura! You really captured her. Wow!
Great article. You really (pardon the expression) nailed her.
I think her character should have been more developed as well. I mean, if one is to say that bones is Jim's conscious,and Spock his intellect, he should have also had a feminie side as well.
