Remembering NICHELLE NICHOLS

We remember actress/activist Nichelle Nichols (1932-2022) by revisiting their review of 1974's Truck Turner, which featured a Nichols' performance unlike any she ever gave before or after, as well as a bonus treat -- Len's 2015 interview with Ms. Nichols from the Great Philadelphia Comic Convention, where she shares anecdotes from her dance and acting career and her private thoughts on her recently departed Star Trek co-star Leonard Nimoy. We mention the great documentary highlighting Nichols' relationship with NASA in the 70s and 80s -- Women In Motion (2019), available online. Learn more about your ad choices.
