AlamoVampire Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) I absolutely do not wish to take away from the impact we Star Trek (OS, TNG, DS9, VOY or ENT) feel at the loss of Nichelle Nichols but I just learned about the passing of the voice actress who voiced Ursula in the Little Mermaid.

TheSaint Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Vin Scully died yesterday, at the age of 94. This is probably kinda local, even for US folks, but it's personal for me. Not because I'm a huge sports fan. (I'm not.) But because some of my fondest memories of my childhood are me hanging out in the garage with my dad, puttering around with stuff, with Vin Scully narrating the Dodgers game on his little transistor radio. I will never forget his voice. God speed, Vin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respected her skills as an actress, but I understand she had a somewhat troubled life. I hope she gets the peace she needs, and the closure the family can get.

Not true but obviously true for current ones. Historically it was not uncommon to become the monarch as an kid and if you lived to be very old you would rule longer.
