Majel Barrett Roddenberry
More than 250 people have gathered to farewell Star Trek actress Majel arrett Roddenberry.

Friends, family and fans have gathered to bid a final farewell to Star Trek actress Majel Barrett Roddenberry.

More than 250 people attended the funeral on Sunday in Los Angeles.

Roddenberry was the widow of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, and had been involved in the Star Trek universe for more than four decades.

The 76-year-old Roddenberry died of leukaemia December 18 at her Bel-Air home.

Among the mourners were Star Trek stars Nichelle Nichols, George Takei and Walter Koenig.

Three people wore Star Fleet Academy formal tunics, and many others sported Star Trek rings, pins or medallions.

Roddenberry played the dark-haired Number One in the original pilot, but metamorphosed into the blond, miniskirted Nurse Christine Chapel in the original 1966-69 TV series.
