1. She's 74.
IMDB.com has her listed as being born in 1932.

Still gorgeous, though.

4. She's a living piece of television history
amazingly, no interracial kiss had been seen anywhere on the idiot box until Kirk planted one on Uhura in 1968.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato%27s_Stepchildren

"Plato's Stepchildren" is a third season episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, first broadcast November 22, 1968. It is episode #65, production #67, written by Meyer Dolinsky, and directed by David Alexander. The episode is popularly cited as the first example of an inter-racial kiss on United States television (between Kirk and Uhura).
