As Spock said "Live long and prosper". She's been doing just that. I'm sure she'll get through this.

I think I was much, much happier not being aware of this

No no no, don't do this to me OP!!

I saw her at a con a few years ago. She was slipping into dementia; repeated stories, couldn't keep track of conversation, etc. Very sad.

We'll be monitoring this frequency...

She is a living piece of history, very first interracial kiss on television. MLK Jr personally asked her to do Star Trek. Amazing woman.

I think Sammy Davis Jr. Actually did it first in a commercial. Some youtube video I saw a while back, I'll have to find it

I always loved Uhura. Without her the crew would literally have been unable to communicate with anyone.

She's got a Lego astronaut ring

Damn right, she does.

How can you not be over somebody that you didn't even know?
TotallyNotTheNSAGuys
Clearly youve never heard of Leonard Nemoy. you should look him up
BananaJack
I know exactly who he is. Once again, how can you mourn somebody you never knew? Simply curious.
BananaJack
Interesting, getting downvoted for what seemed like a calm and honest discussion. It seems that imgur remains classless.
CaptainZz
it's extremely common to be mournful of someone who you may have looked up to and appreciated the work/art of?
TotallyNotTheNSAGuys
Empathy and compassion. It saddens me as a diagnosed Psychopath that this needs explaining.
BananaJack
Also I highly doubt you are a diagnosed psychopath, if you were we wouldn't be having this conversation.
TotallyNotTheNSAGuys
Sure buddy, you clearly know a lot about Psychology.
BananaJack
Yet great and kind people die everyday, and you don't mourn them, whats the difference?

A phenomenon known as parasocial interaction. Too much to fit In 140 char, but Google it.
BananaJack
Awesome read thanks man!

People mourn the loss of animals who don't even have the capacity to feel emotion. It's much more reasonable to mourn a person
BananaJack
But you know these animals, they are generally accepted as a part of the family unit. Completely different situation with a celebrity.
theaterofdreams
It is a completely different situation. A sentient, intelligent person who impacted the world in different ways vs. a pet whom you

anthropomorphize because he seems friendly because you provide his basic needs

People usually mourn those who brought joy into their lives. Like some artists and maybe not their abusive uncle.
BananaJack
But it's such an interesting concept, for instance, I loved Robin Williams. Great actor and overall funny guy. Was I sad when he died? Yes.
BananaJack
But I would never say I mourned the man. I would mourn a family member or a friend but I would never claim to mourn a person I never met.
ifFalse
I guess it comes down to what it means to know someone. There are people I met quite a lot and one day they were just dead ...
