Changes

'''Uhura''' was the communications officer in the original [[Star Trek]] TV series.  As a black actress, starring roles at that time were rare, but were part of [[Gene Roddenberry]]'s diversified cast.  Another character with little plot development, it was hard to get a feeling for her personality.  Snippets from different episodes showed someone who could be a bit seductive and concerned about losing her looks and somewhat emotionally fragile, but was always a professional when doing her job.
