California Chronicle posted a new interview with TOS actress Nichelle Nichols, in which she talks about the new Trek movie, and here are few excerpts.
"While they were shooting, J.J. Abrams invited me to lunch andinvited me to come to the set," she says. "I was so excited. The surprise he had going was that the young woman playing Uhura didn't know I was coming. She just gasped.
"As J.J. had planned it, she didn't have to shoot, so we sat for two hours and talked, and it was as though I had known her all her life. I was so honored. I thought I was seeing myself -- I knew I was in good hands. She just picked my brain."
Nichols has seen the new "Star Trek" movie twice and says she'll probably see it two or three more times. She likes what actress Zoe Saldana has done with Uhura.
"When I see her come on, that's me and I'm living it," she says. "A little ways into the movie, I realized she had taken to heart what I said and became more reserved and tighter. I'm so proud of her. She took a role that was established and gave it life."
"Now I know who I was before I got on that ship for that first mission. It's so exciting for me and rewarding.
"J.J. and she did me honor," Nichols says.
"J.J. with his casting did all his characters honor."
"It's so nice to see Spock back in the future."
