George Takei: Nichelle Nichols is ‘Resting Comfortably’ After Stroke

George Takai gave a brief update on Nichelle Nichols, who suffered a minor stroke earlier this week, on the Tony Award red carpet on Sunday.

Nichols’ “Star Trek” co-star Takei said she’s “resting comfortably” and is able to converse with people. The two did a “Star Trek” convention together just two weekends ago.

Takei and Nichols have remained close friends since “Star Trek,” and Takei said the prognosis for her condition is “optimistic,” though he noted that “she had been slowing down” even before the stroke.

“We’ve sadly had a lot of losses,” Takei said of the “Star Trek” community, referencing Leonard Nimoy, who died in February, and show producer Maurice Hurley, who died just a few days before Nimoy.

Nichols, who played St. Uhura on “Star Trek,” suffered the stroke in her Los Angeles home on Wednesday night.

I didn't know she'd had a stroke...I hope she's ok, she was my favorite.
