Changes

'''Uhura''' was the communications officer in the original [[Star Trek]] TV series. Starring roles for black actresses at that time were rare, but [[Gene Roddenberry]] created a diverse cast for the Star Trek universe.  Uhura was 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.
