Health and death​


In June 2015, Nichols suffered a mild stroke at her Los Angeles home and was admitted to a Los Angeles-area hospital. A magnetic resonance imaging scan confirmed a small stroke had occurred, and she began inpatient therapy. In early 2018, Nichols was diagnosed with dementia,and subsequently announced her retirement from convention appearances.

Following a legal dispute over the actions of her manager-turned-caretaker Gilbert Bell, her son Kyle Johnson filed for conservatorship in 2018. Before a court granted his petition in January 2019, Nichols' friend Angelique Fawcette, who had already expressed concern in 2017 over Bell's control of access to her, pressed for visitation rights, including by opposing Johnson's petition. That dispute and a 2019 court case by Bell over being evicted from the guesthouse on Nichols' property were both ongoing as of August 2021.

Nichols died of heart failure in Silver City, New Mexico, on July 30, 2022, at the age of 89.

During my Illinois State days, I worked at a store with this smoking hot black woman named Uhura after Nichelle Nichols' character.

Capn Kirk would have nailed her. You get that chance?

With all due respect, Mr. Adumbass, you clearly do not see what I'm saying.
As a guy who is not racist, I really hope that isn't the case. Because this is getting disgusting.

You were always disgusting, Gustabitch Adumbass. The thread was to pay homage to Miss Nichols, a breaker of barriers. Was never meant to be about your crazy fantasy.

You don't think a hardcore Trekkie would name their child after one of the characters?

Gustabitch Adumbass is not remotely clever by half. Probably why you ended up in the Coast Guard Motor Pool. They didn't trust you on the water
