Nichelle Nichols Appears for Final Comic-Con Events in L.A. amid Conservatorship Battle

Nichelle Nichols, one of the stars of the original Star Trek series and a pioneering recruiter of women and minorities for America’s space program, made her final convention appearance before her many fans as part of a three-day farewell celebration at L.A. Comic-Con over the weekend.

Best known for playing communications officer Nyota Uhura aboard the starship Enterprise, the iconic actress, singer and dancer — who turns 89 on Dec. 28 — signed autographs, posed for photos and attended an early birthday celebration, where she briefly but joyfully kicked up her heels and danced. Nichols was also the subject of tribute panels throughout the convention, though she did not make any public statements.

An active figure on stage, TV and music since the early 1960s, Nichols’ public and professional life has been slowed since she was diagnosed with dementia in 2018, and she has also been at the center of a conservatorship battle. However, she was all smiles during her many appearances on her retirement tour at Comic-Con LA. Nichols was seen waving, blowing kisses and flashing Star Trek’s famous Vulcan salute to the many fans who turned out to bid her farewell.

The actress, who did chat privately with various people close to her, was surrounded by members of her family and longtime friends including Nichols’ son Kyle Johnson, who served as her spokesperson; her younger sister Marian Michaels; actresses Judy Pace and Beverly Todd; and former astronaut Dr. Mae Jemison, who joined NASA as a result of Nichols’ role in recruiting women and minorities into the space program in the 1970s and 1980s as a result of her Star Trek fame.

On Friday, several of Nichols’ loved ones assembled for a special panel sharing stories and behind-the-scenes details about the actress, known to her family as “Auntie Chellie-Mom.” Although the conservatorship issues and Nichols’ current health were not directly addressed, the panel appeared to signal tacit familial support for her son Johnson and his management of his mother’s affairs. – Source
