Science fiction/Action adventure/Space. Created by Gene Roddenberry. Starring William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley (Kirk, Spock and Dr. McCoy) - Norway Productions and Desilu Productions produced the series from September 1966 to December 1967. Paramount Television produced the show from January 1968 to June 1969. Star Trek aired on NBC from September 8, 1966, to June 3, 1969. It was first broadcast on September 6, 1966, on Canada's CTV network. Star Trek's Nielsen ratings while on NBC were low, and the network cancelled it after three seasons and 79 episodes. Several years later, the series became a hit in broadcast syndication, remaining so throughout the 1970s, achieving cult classic status and a developing influence on popular culture. Star Trek eventually spawned a franchise, consisting of eight television series, 13 feature films, and numerous books, games, and toys, and is now widely considered one of the most popular and influential television series of all time.

Shouldn't she be opening or closing frequencies
More like open *hailing* frequency
I'm pretty sure they will still drink coffee or w/e in the 23rd century
Lololo 😎 😎 😎
More like waiting for orders. Everyone ignored her.
@@StarTrekTOS Not when she's on her coffee break *note the coffee mug
As a retired sailor. I think that is the most REALISTIC portrayal of a deck crewman: drinking coffee while on station!😃
I could carry three cups from the mess decks to CIC underway.
Ikr???
I came to say the same thing. Who's going to refuse her the right to drink her space coffee?
As a on duty drinker, I think that there is something in the cup, but it's surely not coffee.
She's got the 200 yard stare!
Perhaps a splash 💦 of romulan ale 🖖
I'm so glad she decided to stay after the 1st season wouldn't be the same without her RIP Uhura ❤️🙏🥰
MLK called her and encouraged her to stay with it.
@@LifeWithJeffandNeeNeeshe stayed with it
@@LifeWithJeffandNeeNeeThat’s a great story. MLK was right on - black girls needed to see Uhura succeed - he felt she was a role model - and she became a legend.
@@paktype
ALL girls needed that role model.
She made a huge impression on me.
She died, or she still resting?
That coffee came from Starfleetbucks! 😂
Nice!
Underrated comment 😂
🖖
Highly underrated comment!😂
And probably cost her a few hundred bucks.
The Captain puts his coffee cup down, too 😂
True and I hadn't noticed.
👍🏻
Most of the time Kirk had a coffee cup that was empty. The series and movies combined he actually only drank coffee, nourishment, tronya, whiskey and Roman ale only about 6 times out of about 20 plus attempts of a beverage.
@@RobertoStenger everyone's attention is on 'you know who' lol
Met her and got her autograph when I was a kid attending a Trek Convention in New Orleans in the 70s. She was very nice and smiled when I walked up to her.. Thatt memory has stuck with me for 50 years.
That’s a good memory
If a woman that talented and gorgeous smiled at me I’d remember it for 50 years too. Great memory.
STOP LYING😂😂😂😂
@user-gw8nr1cs2z LOL...seriously, it happened. I was a kid then. Loved Star Trek...still do. I couldn't believe when I saw her. I must have had big eyes because she smiled and said hello...I just handed her my program, and she signed it.
Luckily Batleths hadn't been invented yet.
She also had the worlds first Bluetooth ear piece! Great actress! She was smiling at some joke perhaps?❤
I love her gray/blue Styrofoam cup
This show had that, and Ipad, and cell phone, all before their time. Oh, and first interracial kiss.
It probably used light to make a connection back then.
The episode "The Corbomite Maneuver" featured the Enterprise as a futuristic Google street view car as they were photographing for star mapping different sectors.
@@jakerazmataz852 Don’t forget automatic doors
Even when I was 6 years old, I thought Lt. Uhura was the most beautiful person I had ever seen. I'm now in my 50s and realize 6-year-old me had great taste. RIP Nichelle Nichols
When I was 6 is was Debbie harry for me. Good old blondie. I had good taste too. Cheers
@@mumbles215I absolutely loved Debbie Harry. I was 16 in 1979, and I bought all her albums. I bought Parralel Lines first, then all the others.
I don't think you're in the minority on that sentiment, especially among guys our age. She was unparalleled in her beauty to me as well.
I was 12, and thought the same thing!. I thought it at 25 as well!
Agreed. She was stunning.
To this day... every vehicle has a cup holder!!
Funny story. I died in ICU and had a NDE. Mine was so interesting, but I was floating around in a very comfortable lawn chair that had TWO cup holders. I can still remember feeling thrilled about the cup holders.
I am a simple girl, so it fits my personality
So we can set it down and open our flipphones...
Ha!!! a million dollar Lamborghini Diablo Shure don't
Before they discontinued the cars those Pontiac Grand Prix didnt have no freaking cup holders would piss me off
When this came out, I can't recall a single American car that had cup holders.
Her drinking coffee makes it all the more realistic 😂
God it oddly does. How often are cast seen casually drinking.
Not only that, but she *smiled* a bit just before she took a sip (no rhyme intended) and then put the cup down and turned towards the camera with a professional look on her face.
Not only that, but Kirk has a smirk (rhyme unavoidable) at the beginning as well.
How do You know it was coffee 🤔 Ooops, I mean 🖖🏼
I guess nobody realized that Kirk had a cup too.
Oh yeah!
he has a cup hole to put his cup lol
@@jl4560 He doesn't but he should! In fact, every station should havve a cup holder! but it wasn't until the 80's that the idea came to life, except then we called them CD-ROM units 😅😅
Coffee service on the bridge was a common occurrence. Kirk would just balance his cup on the right arm console.
Kirks there ?
Starfleet Queen needed her coffee and we all can relate.
Star Trek Buccs?
☕
❤ perhaps something even stronger...
Captain Janeway would approve
" Espresso with Baileys 👋 or Lady Godivas chocolat ..... proper drink for interstellar travel .....

I've seen Star Trek in every
episode never saw her taking a drink while the camera is rolling she smiled when getting caught. Thank you for sharing
It was probably in the script, showing that they were still human in the future
(James, clearly has some kinda hole in His Starship Captain's Chair?!!)
No she did not. She smiled before. They all have coffee, dingbat.
Jimmy Doohan can be smiling when Nomad attacked the ship and the scene was fading to black.
Finally met her 10 years ago . Still beautiful and classy . Very nice lady very patient with her fans . Just a joy
She's DEAD
Yes she was a very elegant woman. How amazing it must have been meeting her
10 Year Ago
They said they met her 10 years ago not dug her up.
It is unfortunate she wasn't taken care of better toward the end, with her son and business manager or something fighting over her. Really disgraceful and very sad. She deserved better.
@@2TONESKY Man I cracked up laughing at this comment.
That is the most authentic and natural mode of acting I’ve seen on television. I love Nichelle Nichols. RIP
She is the only true Uhura. The recent one is an abomination.
@@trhansen3244 I see these kinds of comments a lot. Fictional characters in film and television get recast. Oh well. Someday you'll be gone, and there will be new shows, or old ones will be recast, regardless of your opinion.
@@rikk319 Wow, you are Captain Obvious! Thanks for the input!
@@trhansen3244 As if your whining about your dislike of one casting or another betters the dialogue on the topic.
@@rikk319 I am not whining. I am stating an informed opinion. You perceive it as whining because that makes you feel better. You are a glass half empty person. You obviously voted for Biden.
Reading "The Making Of Star Trek" many years ago, the author related a story of a day filming, the director isn't happy with the lighting on Nichelle. He uses an old lighting term, "She's black, she's black!"
Without missing a beat, Nichelle quips, "But comely."
She had a superb sense of humor. 😄👍
I love that story!
Do you realize that Nichols was quoting the bible? "I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon" Ecc 1:5 - Song Of Solomon.
@fireballxl-5748 😳 oh my. She has taste.
@@fireballxl-5748Oh very nice, Fireball XL-5, loved that show as well, they're on RUclips 💯
@@dupre7416 one version says "BUT" COMELY which is racist, the original version says "AND" comely, neutral
Both kirk and uhura appear to share a joke (grinning) just before the "action" take. What a beautiful woman.🙏RIP
This episode clearly shows the yoeman serving coffee just before this misleading video which is just trying to get attention - and it worked. Dullards eating it up. This is also not the only episode where they served coffee on the bridge.
@@smartasianfriend9940 No the dullards are the ones who think it's about the coffee. They are referring to her being in the middle of either a laugh or grin that she stifled when they called "action".
It’s Irish coffee. Coffee with a little bit of 🥃
It was clearly coffee time- Kirk was drinking some as well…
So a deliberate move to humanise the crew? Clever.
Could be a cup o anything 😅
A few seconds before this clip in The Squire of Gothos the Yeomen is shown serving the coffee to the crew. Fake trek channel for fake fans.
Uhura in the back looking gorgeous as she usually did on the show😍 May she rest peacefully in Paradise🙏
Yeah. Mmmmm. What a woman!
Uhura was beautiful until the day she died, I’m guessing, was she old then, yes she was, but every pic I’ve ever seen of here she was flat beautiful!!
But I’ve always had a thing for older women since my crush on my third grade teacher ;)
I’m 68 on 7/1/24, and old habits die hard, or not so much these days;)lol
She was a hottie
What makes me smile is that in the mid 60’s when Kirk kissed Uhura it out raged much of white American, while secretly every white man in America wished it was their lips she was kissing;)lol
@kevinmcconnell3641 You and I are near the same age.
Older women to us aren't "cougars" but "Sabre Tooth Tigers"!!!
UHURA was GORGEOUS!!!
I was 6 when the show came out. She's always been my first "little boy" crush. MLK thankfully talked her into staying with the show, so glad he did, there would have been a lot of broken little guy hearts without her....🤗
Nice stomach. Mine would be too if it were to be on camera.
She really was a beautiful lady... those alluring eyes. Apparently, Gene Roddenberry liked her too...!
When Kirk kissed her I was extremely jealous. I was hoping Kirk would end up like the red shirts.
@snorkeldorktheconqueror9580 for kissing Uhura? Those telepathic Romans forced the kiss. I was jealous of Spock... I had a thing for Nurse Chapel... Gene Roddenberry was a hound dog, but the man had good taste in women...
While working in a gas station on sunset blvd in the early 70’s, she came in with a Datsun 240 z.
Talked to her, very nice person.
Amazing. No doubt.
Loved those cars. My boyfriend bought one as soon as the 1st model came out, avocado green. We loved it!
Did you ever encounter Norma Desmond? 😁
She was an important member of the crew (and cast) and not just a set piece or eye candy. She was appreciated as the iconic woman she was and always will be.
AND looked fantastic doing that other stuff ! ;-)That Original Star Trek is my favorite TV show of all time .
She made good eye candy.
In one early episode she took over the helm briefly, indicating she had broad knowledge of the ship's systems.
And to think, she wanted to quit. It was largely at others in the black community urging her to continue did she decide to continue.
@@RCAvhstapeIn TAS we see her take command of the Enterprise when Scotty becomes incapacitated. There's some indication she's fourth or fifth in the chain of command.
Watch that smirk on Kirk's face too, as Uhura goes for the cup. Seems like she took a sip to stop herself from bursting out laughing. Both Shatner and Nichols were about to break character before recovering.
That's it. Her smile and his smirk were not scripted. Leonard, perhaps, jumped the gun slightly, "moving on schedule . ." having a double-meaning.
i agree, both of them are looking at Leonard with that smile, so he did something just before this clip started, maybe he made a joke or laughed at something then went directly into character, while the rest of the cast were reacting to what he did.
@@bigalexg
Great observation!
Hell of a catch this is definitely what’s going on. They both snap out of it cuz Spock was cookin his line.
I agree.
She was a beautiful woman! God rest her soul.
The crew member sitting next to Spock was my Health & Safety teacher, Mr. Barrier, at Glendale High School, in 1968; in Glendale, California.
He was an excellent and kindhearted teacher who really cared about his students. The girls in the class swooned over his good looks. The boys liked him because he was a man's man.
Mr. Barrier would often stay after hours to help students with their homework assignments.
Years after high school, I learned he gave up acting to become a legal officer in the US Coast Guard; achieving the rank of lieutenant commander.
A few weeks ago, I was saddened to read that Michael Barrier passed away, on February 26, 2024, at the age of 87.
He was truly one of the good guys.
°°°
Actually, he was 91. His bio lists him as a substitute teacher at Glendale High...
The Frenchman?
I think an extra in Star Trek, who became a teacher at a school called Glendale High, then joined the coastguard is just about the most American person I've ever heard of.
Not gonna lie she was one FINE woman
And Kirk was a lucky man to kiss her on camera.
@@willyvolken1126 amen to that!
Yep. She was a knockout - especially in the episode titled "Mirror, Mirror".
Got that right! Those legs....
Wasn’t she just.
The more you watch these episodes, the more you appreciate how excellent they all were at acting. They developed these characters, rounded them out and made them real.
Shatner made Kirk both common, but complex. You'd think you could find this kind of space boyscout easily, until you go looking.
It's easy to underestimate what Shatner, Nemoy, Kelly and the others did.
They made the complex seem easy and even commonplace.
All due to Desi Arnez, and Lucille Ball's company DesiLu productions.
I know Kevin o Reilly and the transport chief aren't the same , but it might have read that way , so I'm just correcting myself.
9th uh@@davidcosta2244
They were all hammy actors, and the plots were a mixture of cheesy and boring, but it is still iconic.
@@phily8093 your a soulless cretin.
OF COURSE!! How could anyone miss this stunningly beautiful Queen?
Right? She doesn’t even have to speak. The good old days! ☮️♥️
I mean beautiful ❤! I’m not gonna lie if I’d met her especially back then my knees prolly would buckle a bit 😅.
What is with all this King and Queen nonsense ?
Geez dude you're laying it on awfully thick. Lol
I watched all those episodes and don't remember ever even noticing she was there....😄
They were smiling or laughing about something, but the emotionless Spock came in and saved the day, so they didnt have to cut the scene.
😂😂
Kirk was smirking, too. Something funny must have happened before Spock started speaking.
Lol. When wasn’t Kirk either smirking or glaring, haha? Not sure Bill Shatner has a ‘neutral’ face, heh heh.
They were probably commenting on her amazing legs,she had a pair of pins on her alright.
Leonard probably cracked a joke just before "Action!" He was a really funny guy, from what I've heard.
Shatner has a cup in his Captain's chair also. Maybe the cast was on break and didn't expect "Action!" so they had to jump into character quickly.
That's exactly right. Immediately before this clip the crew is seen enjoying a work break together, with refreshments being handed out by a young female redshirt. The scene provides a rare glimpse into the normally-unseen mundane routine of space exploration, when suddenly an immensely powerful threat appears in front of them.
She really rocked that outfit she wore, a beautiful woman. One of the reasons I tuned in every week to watch this great series. She's absolutely fabulous ❤
Is that really all you watched her for?
She was a top shelf class act. And apparently I wasn't the only one who had a crush on her.
Yup, it was me.
Pretty sure that 99% of guys liked her. She was a rare beauty.
You were not
Are you crazy?
She was packed, stacked and racked, man.
Uhura was so next level fine that I was convinced that, in the future, women were all built that way.
She's always been the pinnacle of sci-fi hotties.
Zoe Saldana has kind of taken the crown now. Not only cuz she reprised the role of Uhura in the (I thought) very fun Star Trek reboot films, but because she's also Gamora in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, which are actually the best sci fi action films to come out in years and years and years.
Zoe is a babe, no doubt.
But nothing compares with the original Uhura. She even sat in that 'go ahead. Take it all in' manner.
Such a hottie.
I guess the the concern was with her Mona lisa style smile.
She was beautiful.
I take it back.
Although it was fleeting, she had a full on smile in that scene.
She was stuning.
I giggle at her smile just prior to her taking a sip, and then she jumps right into character. Precious
She may well have been in character the whole time. Kirk has a smirk on his face too when he first comes into view so there was probably a light hearted moment just before the clip begins.
Kirk drinks coffee on occation while on watch, no reason to think other whatstanders don't. We certainly do in the Nuclear Navy: there are cup holders under or near most control panels in every boat I have been on as well as in most Engineroom Bays
@@groovytrev he also seems to smirk as he is looking at his empty paper coffee cup just be for he sets it down.
@@johnjames5712 Maybe there was something in their coffee?
@@Poizenne kerks cup is an empty cup with nothing in it. which you can tell by the way he sets it down. Tho that could of been why he had that look on his face as if he thought it was pretty silly to be using a prop coffee cup that's got nothing in it.
Uhura was an integral member of the crew; and she always gave her performances 100+%
Why is this pointed out so specifically? 🤨
Wasn't she in Every Show ?
Even Away Missions ?

Did anyone notice her little smile to somebody off screen just before she drank her cup of pick me up.
Loved Uhura! She was so intelligent in her role , not just eye candy & portrayed her brilliantly. Of she course drop dead gorgeous too!!!❤
Absolutely, this series was well ahead of it's times.
Startrek was a wonderful imagination of what could be achieved through technology.
Loved almost all the characters as they performed brilliantly.
Her voice was also so beautiful when she sang
@@mordakie3805 Yes it was !❤️🌹
Eye candy!!!!!
The J.J. Abrams Uhura was gorgeous. Nichelle Nichols was cute.
That lady aged like fine wine. They can try to replace her but no one and I mean no one will ever beat her as the one and only. RIP. You will never be forgotten as long as Fans still keep the show going.
Agreed. She's kind of the Pam Grier of intergalactic space travel...
She can be replaced, Both Zoe and Celia have done fairly great interpretations of her. Her poise cannot ever be duplicated however. She was one of a kind in that regard.
@@dellytancyl524 no they will always be second or a third. The women broke the color barrier during a time of real oppression against POC in this country. Her and Diane Carol both. They put black women on the map as women who could portray main roles in Television and made it to all households not just POC. Those other two are riding her coat tails. They maybe good but they are not her. They are not iconoclasts. In another 50 years the originals will stand the test of time as the groundbreakers they were where as the others will be one in a chain of copies.
I should know because I am one of the generation who remember those times vividly and remember seeing the first episode of Star Trek. I have seen all forms of the series and none compare to her. They may get more lines or more screen time but they do not have the poise or the dignity of the original.
In Strange New Worlds they got Kevin Hart to play Uhuru. I don't get it, but it is what it is.
@@garhent So you think Celia Rose Gooding resembles Kevin Hart? So You can't disagree with a choice without being insulting? You don't have to like here. She's beautiful, she's talented and she's out of your league, so hate all you want. Hater!
She was tipping back some Romulan ale😂

Had the pleasure of meeting her once, very sweet lady ❤
So did l !!!!! 😊
Twice, and both times I was greeted like an old and much loved friend.
I would say the warmest and most genuine person I have ever known.
Buying an autograph for my spouse on DragonCon's Walk of Fame one time a few years back. Requested her to sign it, "Keep working for his Dream." When we said the request, Nichelle's assistant/money handler at the autograph table piped up with "Oh, Roddenberry's Dream?"
Nichols gave her some epic side eye and corrected her, "No, Dr. King's Dream," before looking back at us, "isn't that right, Dears?" We said, "Yes Ma'am," and collected our autograph.
me too.
I was just a kid when this series aired but Lt. Uhura defined the word “poise” for me. Very classy.
Indeed.
She was ALL class!
Great choice of words. She wasn't just sexy, she classy.
Excellent !
She was so elegant and talented. I wish I could have met her! I will miss Ms. Nichols.
Nichelle was a remarkable person. She often talked about how she was thinking of leaving the show after the first season but none other than Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. himself talked her out of it! Sometimes the best decisions we make in life are the ones we don't act on!
I met Scotty (James Doohan) once. He was nice but not as "charismatic" as Uhura.
I met her several times. She came to Kansas City with the 'Fab 4', which also included James Doohan, Walter Koenig, and George Takai. I'd get their autographs every time, and usually have some nice chats! Nichelle was always gracious!
Deadpool. 😏
I got to meet her years ago at a Star Trek convention, late '80s-early 90s. She was warm and pleasant, with sparkling eyes. Elegant is a good word for her.
She was so beautiful. Rest well lovely woman. Such a great addition to the cast of diversity

@@Naoj2024 hahaha indeed 😂
She's likely drinking coffee that the yeoman frequently brings to the bridge crew. You'll see this in several episodes.

Just that little shot of Uhura being focused on what's going on, and displaying an obvious understanding of what Spock is saying is a subtle way of demonstrating that she wasn't just the "message girl", but an important member of the crew.
Loved the way she elegantly photobombed that whole scene :)
This is cropped. She didn't photo bomb anything. Geez watch an episode sometime
It's impossible not to notice her. She was one of the most beautiful women on television.
She was the ONLY BLACK!!
@@tesmith47 That is untrue- Dr M'benga, and several 1 offs including Dr Daystrom. There are only so many Regulars, and the same Top Stars each episode, there can only be so much Diversity. However, she was so Significant, that she had the attention of Dr. Martin Luthor King Jr., who pointed out to her that just by "Being There", she was So Important.
They weren't regulars though. I think that's the point. The only black female at the time.
@@tesmith47 That's amazing! I never would have realized she was black if you hadn't shouted out into the void!
Thank you for your enlightening comment!
@@rudolphmcneill515 How many Regulars were in the Cast is My point(Plus the story usually centered on 3) ? This was the 60s, and there were so few Minorities at all on TV- That is Why Dr. King said she was SO Important: She was Seen, in a Normal Role, as a Professional. The Networks didn't want a Woman in a Commnd Role, or an Alien!
Leans into the shot, drinking her drink, and smiling away. "Oh we're shooting?" "So what ... Uhura can do whatever she wants..!"
Captain Kirk also has one of the signature grey coffee cups with the black stripe, if you look closely. There were times when a yeoman would be serving coffee on the bridge, and people would drink it.
@@QAnogThe Enterprise also has the swinging club, presumably downstairs, with the square cocktail glasses and atmospheric lighting, too.
@@QAnog Wink of an Eye wouldn't work if they didn't. It's a plot point.
It was part of the script. If you notice, William Shatner also had a coffee cup in his hand.
Coffee all the time, everywhere. Gene was aware of subliminal messaging and used it to his advantage. Every other commercial was for Yuban, a major sponsor.
Kirk: "d**mit, Uhura! Use a coaster! You know how easily these consoles explode."
"We're now getting a sizable space displacement reading. It's your mom, captain."
This made me laugh harder than it reasonably should’ve…
Haha
Keep your mom jokes in your quarters. I'll have none of it on the bridge.
Yo mama so fat…
@Borgforce it was unexpected... that helped the joke. Timing is everything!
Sipping coffee at work. Centuries distant and still so familiar.
Or so far in the future and still sitting in the back of the bus.
Y'all are ribbing uhura because she had needed her coffee but Kirk is sucking them down too😂😂😂

So he is! good catch!
Sucking who down ?
How do you know it’s coffee
@@maybs1 that is a good point 👍🤔🤔😂
Spock: i am seeing extra large intergalatic activity.
Uhura: really..?? Let me open a frequency to it.
Everybody saw Uhura! What a lovely lady and a wonderful actress!
Hottie!
Uhura was a character. Nichols was the fine actress.
Even back then she looks good for 2024 standards I think she umm could pull it off in today's world
she was a hypnotic beauty. my eight year old a$$ was in love with her before i knew what love was.
@@jagarchillax7440 She broke so many taboos and she broke the mold!
Dude I ALWAYS notice Uhura lol😂😂
Best response in the comments section. I see you are a man with good taste. 👍🏼
Yissir!!
and thats, that
@@ericb2409 I always noticed her beauty and of course her dynamite legs!!
✅ Username checks out
I've heard that Nichols did a video greeting for people working at NASA. I think that's awesome.
from one fake space set to another -- cute
@@uy7munir🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🤡
@@uy7munir Shirley you can’t be serious.
I think she did a bit more than that.
@@uy7munir 🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🤡
Nichelle Nichols was not only a talented entertainer before she landed the Uhura part, but totally inspired a generation of young girls that they could achieve more than their grandmothers!
A real gem in the stars!
Even in space there are mandatory coffee breaks.
Starfleet labor code. Section 48, Alpha-7: Requires meal breaks at regular intervals.
Capt Janeway approves.
Just no smoke breaks though hahaha
@@dahaishanacab1740 Wrong ship. Must be deployed on the Battlestar Galactica for smoke breaks.
No coffee breaks, you drink coffee on duty. Even in the Army.
I see Kirk putting his drink right on his control buttons 😂😊😅
Then loads up his Gameboy
you can hear the paper cup as it’s sat down.
Of course. Whenever she's on screen. my eyes are fixed on her.
Same here. I was a 12 year old at the time, and she was beautiful.
whenever any yoeman is on screen same thing
She’s an officer on the bridge at her station: she seems very aware and in-tune with the information being given by another officer on the bridge… great depiction and work, she was great!
She was mesmerising
Yes.....mesmerized by her wrinkled skin.
,??
@@cecilsink9901 overly gorgeous
@@bertplank8011imagine having the absolute pig brain to call this gorgeous woman “wrinkled”. Like what does that even mean? I wonder what kind of abomination you must go home to.
Nah, mate, she didn't have any wrinkles was way too young
She and Star Trek broke so many barriers in Hollywood
They even tackled racism and that took balls back then. Remember that episode with Frank Gershon (Batman's riddler back then). Loved that episode
The first interracial kiss on network TV was her and kirk. Never was sure if their lips actually touched, but it was supposed to be a kiss.
Yep, now Hollywood is just broken.
Desilu amd Lucille Ball, eh?
@@paulbeckham3227The first interracial kiss on TV was in a show called Emergency Ward 10 in the UK in the early 60s between a black nurse and a white doctor. The actress never worked in television again.
Both Uhura and Kirk had smirks on their faces..😊
God, you're right! I didn't notice that. Good catch!
Well done!
Totally
Prob private joke in between takes.
They're both drinking... Something...
She brought beauty to every scene she was in.
she was a Extremely Talented actress from what I read and a TRULY AMAZING PERSON off screen as well. That takes A GIFT!
Yeah. She also was having sex with gene when he was married.
Kirk and Uhura seem to be holding back the giggles.
They move in sync, too. They must have banged each other at lunch then drinking their vodka on cam.
🙂
Yeah, Makes you wonder what went on before they shot this.
She was definitely one of those rare beauties that got finer with age!
I'm sure they get thirsty in the future too.
I do like how she looked at the camera and smiled as she drank her coffee lol awesome
How can you miss her? She's gorgeous!
The dream girl of the 60's sci-fi television. Rest in peace lady Uhura.
Good luck.
Godspeed
Rest in peace on that final voyage. o7
I met her at Comicon. Wonderful person.
😢
I think that's the response the guy who posted this was looking for.
My God she was beautiful. She had so much presence. You never lost sight of her in the room. I loved Lt. Uhura!!
Im 51 now but when i was asked as a very young kid what i wanted to be when i grew up..My answer was always Spock..Lol..Actually i still feel that way..
Yeah, that drink of coffee was breath- taking.🙄😂
I remember seeing her as a kid and just being overwhelmed by her BEAUTY!
So was Gene Roddenberry. He was involved with her.
@@njpubadjuster3710 I heard! He should have married that beauty 🥰
@@KimKim_in_Cali he almost did. He chose Majel Barrett, who played Nurse Chapel.
I was a kid back then, and I loved her being a role model for women.
Absolutely
Coffee was handed out on the bridge. Kirk has one in hand. It's in the script.
Besides, it created busy-work for low-ranking Engineering Staff that irritated Scotty. When someone inevitably spilled a coffee on the control panel, he could send some red shirt guy to replace the circuit board.
I just used a hand phaser, and zap, hot coffee...
@@patrickvolk7031 HA! 😆 Who needs a furnas & natural gas. Aim phaser at rock! 😊
It's authentic. Sailors do an 8-hour shift and then often stand watch. You see coffee in hands constantly.
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up. 😂😂😂
She was a true beauty 💕
She always did that. She may have had few to no lines, but she was always a commanding presence.
100%.
ALWAYS saw Uhura. An extraordinary beauty.
Had the biggest crush on Uhura back when I was a kid. ❤ couldn't wait to see Star Trek, then was grateful for the reruns in syndication.
Hard to miss such an amazing talent and beauty
She was a beautiful woman. RIP
I love how Ms. Nichols moves her head over Mr. Nimoy's right shoulder to stay in frame.
This is cropped vertically for some reason. Obviously this isn't how it looked on TV...
an eye for optical theory
The director told her to.
That's what they do.
She's a professional.
I love how the CAMERAMAN made sure everyone stayed in frame... give credit where credit is due... not everyone who wears a cape is an actor.
1st 2 seconds she slips in a smile sips coffee sets it down.Martin Luther King asked her to stay on show as a role model
Lt. Uhura has always been one of the most iconic people on Star Trek 😊 xxx ❤
The whole team performed so well
I loved watching Star Trek as a young teenager. Everyone looks so good especially Uhura
She's making sure we can see her.
She found something amusing just before she took that drink😂
The Shat looked like he was trying to keep a straight face too😁
@@TheDavidPoole Yep..😂
I didn't even notice that before
Shatner and the rest of the cast always made sure that other cast members from main actors to extras got as much on camera time as possible because it meant they would get paid more.
That doesn't necessarily gel with what we've heard about Shatner. Word has it he would compete with Nimoy about sometimes being one-upped and would count his lines to be sure he had enough to do each episode
@@Contemplativeman101That is my understanding as well. Shatner apparently was very protective of his lines, made sure that he had more lines than anyone else, and would sometimes usurp lines meant for the other actors.
Uhura taking a discreet sip of Henney & Coke 😂
a CBD beverage
Kirk was also having a sip
Henny n Pepsi man come on get that right lol
Folgers coffee
Before I paused it I thought it was a can, but it's a little too big for that.
