William Shatner Remembers Majel Roddenberry

People can say whatever they want about William Shatner but, at the end of the day he's a very genuine person. You can't really fake sincerity!

Bill, I just have to say you just do not age, you look like you are still in your late 40's early 50's ! You are the MAN !

@ItalianoConfuso yes from the thumbs up it seems people like him to be 56 y/o not exactly 50 lol but who knows if he has i chick he is literally fucking a 50 lmao

I remember her at the 1994 SDCC, had a small brief but interesting conversation on her husband, and wanted to discuss more about his writings but at the time my wife to be and I were about to leave to get some things taken care before the wedding at balboa park. Since then I sent her 2 emails and got 1 back and now she's gone. it's still an empty spot on my heart.

I got to meet Majel years ago at a convention in Plano,Tx. She was so gracious to all the fans and just such a lovely lady. She will be missed just as Gene has been.

She did live to complete her dialogue as the voice of the ship's computer, only two weeks before her passing.

@sonyfier No, I wasn't aware of that. I just looked it up, and that was before I knew anything about Bill Shatner. I was only eight at the time and barely a Trek fan. But I get what you mean about the fans/media needing to back off.

@TheRantingBrit I must admit it surprised me too for the same reason at first. However, I suppose a lot of celebrities are ultra sensitive to intrusions at the best of times, let alone the worst. And William Shatner some years ago most certainly wasn't given the time to grieve over his then wife properly. I'm sure you recall what I'm talking about. I think it was just his colored cryptic way of saying to give the family some space and it probably does need spelling out to some overzealous fans.

@sonyfier I get that, it just seems like an odd thing to say, as if it doesn't really need saying.

@TheRantingBrit If you've never lost someone really close to you you'll not understand this. The time and sentiments that need to be expressed can be ruined by others intrusions and beliefs of how you should emotionally behave at the time. Your feelings get repressed and you don't get the chance to grieve properly and never get the opportunity to say goodbye properly. It can cause psychological issues later. This is what I think he means.

"I hope they grieve in the manner they see fit." Wut?

"I'm so sorry she didn't live to play that part." I have to lol at this, it's such a Hollywood thing to say. Shatner is a god, no question, but just maybe there is more meaning to her death than the fact she didn't live to voice the computer in the latest Star Trek knock-off. ;)

@ItalianoConfuso Its because of the Nexus. Shatner will always be that age.

This was sweet of him to say....very elequent.

framed poster of Kirk and Picard hanging up in Shatner's office. Nice

she was the voice of the ship!

She'll always be Number One. 

@ItalianoConfuso No, Shatner never ages. Remember, he was in the Nexus. Time has no meaning there.

I loved Majel so much that I named my first girl kitty Majel. It also means "help" in Cherokee according to the search engine of google and the correlating website that was brought up.

They should've put Majel on Will It Blend!

@ItalianoConfuso The Toupe and the good foot you can buy,when you have money helps.

... According to IMDB, she did play the computer. She passed away before the movie was launched, but it was said at the time she was able to record her role.

is shatner a jew ???

@ItalianoConfuso Not to mention he has a very youthful attitude and a real zest for life. He definately packs the virility of a man half his age. Not to mention he isn't afraid to make fun of himself. Even if he was never Kirk, I would have tremendous respect for the guy based on his attitude alone

@ItalianoConfuso It seems so true. It is almost as if it is naturally abnormal. It is amazing to think that he is 79 years old now. I mean that he's not just old, he's getting really old now. But, it is really tough to grasp this for not only based on this sense, but also in the sense that he is still quite energetic, silly, goofy, fun, charismatic, outgoing at his age and stage, and he is continuing to act on a regular basis in a professional sense.
