Star Trek legend Nichelle Nichols suffered a mild stroke last night at her home in Los Angeles, according to a statement on her official Facebook page. "She is currently undergoing testing to determine how severe the stroke was," the statement read. "Please keep her in your thoughts."Nichols, who is 82 years old, earned her place in both Star Trek and entertainment history with her portrayal of Uhura in Star Trek: The Original Series and the six TOS feature films. She's also been a constant, joyous presence at Star Trek and sci-fi conventions all over the world. Additionally, Nichols achieved success as a singer, a NASA recruiter, author and more.

Please join StarTrek.com in sending Nichols our collective well wishes for a swift and complete recovery. Keep an eye on StarTrek.com for updates on Nichols' condition.

I really hope she's ok. After losing Leonard earlier in the year, I'm not ready to lose any more legends just yet.
