In this exclusive video interview, Tim Gaskill talks with Nichelle Nichols ("Uhura") at STARTREK.COM's CBS studio in Television City. Here, Nichelle reflects on her 40-year association with Star Trek, its positive influence, as well as her own accomplishments following her work on Trek.

2006 has been a busy year for Nichelle, with conventions celebrating the 40th anniversary of Star Trek, film roles — including her involvement in a soon-to-be-released web-based feature called "Of Gods and Men" — not to mention her attending of the William Shatner Celebrity Roast. Somehow we managed to catch her in between all this activity for a very special interview. She's a legend who, throughout the years, has held to the ideals of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek.
