Nichelle Nichols, who portrayed communications officer Lieutenant Nyota Uhura in the Star Trek universe, died Saturday at age 89. John DiMarco, who has given us so many Star Trek supercuts, put together a tribute to her character with a series of Star Trek clips in chronological order. First there was Star Trek: The Original Series, which ran from 1966 to 1968. Nichols also gave Uhura a voice in Star Trek: The Animated Series in 1973 and '74. Then she reprised the character in six Star Trek feature films between 1979 and 1991, in which Uhura was promoted to lieutenant commander and then full commander. (via Laughing Squid)
