    A reasonably full biography of an important STAR TREK person
  

*by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2013*

Unlike Leonard Nimoy's I AM SPOCK, Nichelle Nichols' BEYOND UHURA is a geniune autobiography, devoting much of the narration to her personal life and family before and between STAR TREK. She traces her mixed blood back to a southern plantation owner and to a white grandfather who helped establish Robbins, Illinois, a small town near Chicago. Her father was a mayor of Robbins. Nichelle trained in ballet and free-form dancing, and she began dancing professionally as a teenager, so young her mother initially accompanied here to appearances. Eventually she toured the country, settling in Los Angeles, where she was followed by her family.Maybe her most exciting adventure in life occurred during one of her tours. After a performance at a lodge in the Northwest, a local notable was supposed to give her a ride home. Unfortunately he was interested in another kind of ride. He groped at her, bruised her, and tore her dress, but she fought back gallantly, preferring death to sexual slavery. His lust frustrated, he ended up dumping her at his cabin, and his lawyer later recovered her. Though it is hard to prove guilt in such cases, she appeared courageously in court, where the public venue of the witness stand afforded her the opportunity to wreak at least a modicum of revenge.So Ms Nichols was Uhura before she was Uhura.About half of the 300+ pages are devoted to STAR TREK and related events, adding to information I got from books by Nicholas Meyer, William Shatner, and Leonard Nimoy. Probably many fans will agree with me when I say that her most interesting STAR TREK-related material concerns her affair with Gene Roddenberry, though that happened well before STAR TREK began production in 1966. Another exceptionally interesting STAR TREK matter is what she has to say about William Shatner, to whom she is both commendatory and condemning.BEYOND UHURA has a nice portfolio of photo plates, and an index with many sub-entries. Since it was published in 1994, which was only three years after STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY, and since she is still alive--eighty-one years old in 2013--her book does not say much about her post-STAR TREK life. But it gives hints as to how she has probably been spending her time: reading, jogging, music, STAR TREK conventions, miscellaneous public appearances, speaking out for the space program, and relating with friends and family. In Wikipedia's article about her, I see that she has been appearing in TV programs and movies.Read this fine book and discover why Nichelle Nichols is taller than her height.

    How Nichelle Nicole's Became a Legend
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2019*

When Star Trek debuted in 1966 I was only 15. I didn't realise what kind of trailblazing character casting it was when Nichelle Nichols appeared as Lt Uhura. Looking back on it these decades later I see the breakthrough she and her character represented. This book is quite good. It is a thorough and readable memoir of a woman who would become a superstar and an icon.
