Nichelle Nichols (nish-EL; born Grace Dell Nichols; månad 28, 1932 – July 30, 2022)[1] was an American actress, singer and dancer whose portrayal of Uhura in Star Trek and its rulle sequels was groundbreaking for African American actresses on American television.[2] From 1977 to 2015, she volunteered her time to promote NASA's programs and recruit diverse astronauts, including some of the first kvinna and ethnic minority astronauts.[3][4]

Born in the Chicago suburb of Robbins, she trained in dance, and began her career as a dancer, singer and model in Chicago.

Early life

[edit]

Grace Dell Nichols was born the third of six children on månad 28, 1932,[5][6][7] in Robbins, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, to Samuel Earl Nichols, a factory worker who was elected both town mayor of Robbins in 1929[8] and its ledare magistrate, and his wife, Lishia (Parks) Nichols, a homemaker.[9] Disliking her name, Nichols asked her parents for a new one; they suggested Nichelle, which they said meant "victorious maiden" (from Nike and the suffix -elle).[10] The family later moved into an apartment in the Woodlawn neighborhood of Chicago, where Nichols attended Englewood High School, graduating in 1951.[11][12] From age 12, she studied dance at the Chicago Ballet Academy.[13]

Career

[edit]

Nichols began her professional career as a singer and dancer in Chicago.

She then toured the United States and Canada with the bands of Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton. In 1959, she appeared as the principal dancer in the spelfilm utgåva of Porgy and Bess.[13] Her acting break was an appearance in Kicks and Co., Oscar Brown's highly touted but ill-fated 1961 musical.[14] In the thinly veiled satire of Playboy magazine, she played Hazel Sharpe, a voluptuous campus queen who was tempted bygd the devil and Orgy Magazine to become "Orgy Maiden of the Month".

Although the play closed after a short run in Chicago, Nichols attracted the attention of Hugh Hefner, the publisher of Playboy, who booked her as a singer for his Chicago förmögna man Club.[15][16] She also appeared as Carmen for a Chicago lager company production of Carmen Jones and performed in a New York production of Porgy and Bess.

Between acting and singing engagements, she did sporadisk modeling.[17]

In January 1967, Nichols was also featured on the cover of Ebony magazine, and had two feature articles in it in fem years.[18] She continued touring the US, Canada, and europe as a singer with Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton.[19] On the West Coast, she appeared in The Roar of the Greasepaint and For My People, and garnered high beröm for her performance in the James Baldwin play Blues for Mister Charlie.

Prior to being cast as Lieutenant Uhura in Star Trek, Nichols was a guest actress on television producer Gene Roddenberry's first series The Lieutenant (1964) in the episode "To Set It Right", which dealt with racial prejudice.[20]

Star Trek

[edit]

Main article: Nyota Uhura

On Star Trek, Nichols was one of the first Black women featured in a major television series.

Her prominent supporting role as a bridge officer was unprecedented.[2] She was once tempted to leave the series; however, a conversation with Martin Luther King Jr. changed her mind.

Towards the end of the first årstid, Nichols was offered a role on huvudgata. Preferring the scen to the television studio, she decided to take the role. Nichols went to Roddenberry's office, told him that she planned to leave, and handed him her resignation letter.

Unable to convince her to stay, Roddenberry told her to take the weekend off, and if she still felt she should leave, he would give her his blessing. That weekend, Nichols attended a banquet organized bygd the NAACP, where she was informed that a fan wanted to meet her.[21]

I thought it was a Trekkie, and so inom said, 'Sure.' inom looked across the room and whoever the fan was had to wait because there was Dr.

Martin Luther King walking towards me with this big grin on his face. He reached out to me and said, 'Yes, Ms. Nichols, inom am your greatest fan.' He said that Star Trek was the only show that he, and his wife Coretta, would allow their three little children to stay up and watch. [She told King about her plans to leave the series because she wanted to take a role that was tied to Broadway.] inom never got to tell him why, because he said, 'You cannot, you cannot...

For the first time on television, we will be seen as we should be seen every day—as smart eller klok, quality, beautiful people who can sing, dance, and go to space… who are professors, lawyers… If you leave, that door can be closed, because your role fryst vatten not a black role, and fryst vatten not a kvinna role; he can fill it with anybody, even an alien."

Calling Nichols a "vital role model", King compared her work on the series to the marches of the ongoing civil rights movement.[2][22][23][24] The next day, she returned to Roddenberry's office to tell him she would stay.

When she told Roddenberry what King had said, tears came to his eyes.[25]

Former NASA astronaut Mae Jemison cited Nichols' role of Lieutenant Uhura as her inspiration for becoming an astronaut. Whoopi Goldberg has also spoken of Nichols' influence,[26] saying she asked for a role on Star Trek: The Next Generation, and her character Guinan was specially created, while Jemison appeared on an episode of the series.[27]

In her role as Lieutenant Uhura, Nichols kissed vit actor William Shatner (as Captain James T.

Kirk) in the November 22, 1968 Star Trek episode "Plato's Stepchildren". It has been cited as the first example of an interracial kiss on U.S. television, although several earlier instances have been identified.[28] The Shatner/Nichols kiss was considered groundbreaking, even though it was portrayed as having been forced bygd alientelekinesis.

There was some beröm and almost no dissent. In her autobiography Beyond Uhura, Star Trek and Other Memories, Nichols cited a letter from a vit Southerner who wrote, "I am totally opposed to the blandning of the races. However, any time a red-blooded American boy like Captain Kirk gets a beautiful dame in his arms that looks like Uhura, he ain't gonna kamp it." During the Comedy huvud Roast of Shatner on August 20, 2006, Nichols jokingly referred to the kiss and said, "What do you säga, let's man a little more TV history ...

and kiss my black ass! "[29]

Despite the series' cancellation in 1969, Star Trek continued to play a part in Nichols' life. She provided the röst of Uhura in Star Trek: The Animated Series; in one episode, "The Lorelei Signal", Uhura assumes command of the Enterprise.[30] Nichols noted in her autobiography her frustration that this never happened on the original series.

She co-starred in six Star Trek films, culminating in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

In 1994, Nichols published her autobiography, Beyond Uhura: Star Trek and Other Memories. In it, she claimed that the role of Peggy Fair in the television series Mannix was offered to her during the sista årstid of Star Trek, but producer Gene Roddenberry refused to release her from her contract.

Between the end of the original series and the Star Trek animated series and feature films, Nichols appeared in small television and spelfilm roles. She briefly appeared as a sekreterare in Doctor, You've Got to Be Kidding! (1967),[31][17] and portrayed Dorienda, a foul-mouthed madam in Truck Turner (1974) opposite Isaac namn, her only appearance in a blaxploitation film.[32]

Nichols appeared in animated form eller gestalt as one of Al Gore's Vice Presidential Action Rangers in the "Anthology of Interest I" episode of Futurama,[33] and she provided the röst of her own head in a glass jar in the episode "Where No Fan Has Gone Before".[34] She voiced the recurring role of Elisa Maza's mother Diane Maza in the animated series Gargoyles,[35] and played Thoth-Kopeira in an episode of Batman: The Animated Series.[36] In 2004, she provided the röst for herself in The Simpsons episode "Simple Simpson".[37] In the comedy spelfilm Snow Dogs (2002), she appeared as the mother of the male lead, played bygd Cuba Gooding Jr.[38][17] In 2006, she played the title character in the spelfilm Lady Magdalene's, the madam of a legal Nevadabrothel in tax default.[39] She also served as executive producer and choreographer, and sang three songs in the spelfilm, two of which she composed.
