George Takei recalls close friendship with late 'Star Trek' actress Nichelle Nichols
Fox News
George Takei shared a heartwarming tribute to his late co-star Nichelle Nicholas, who died from natural causes over the weekend at age 89.
"When my husband Brad and I got married, we asked Walter Koenig, who played ensign Chekov on the show, to be our best man at the wedding," he wrote on Monday. "We asked Nichelle to be our matron of honor."
"In her characteristic fashion, Nichelle declared, 'I am not a matron! If Walter can be best man, why can't I be best lady?' " Takei added. "Noting that Walter's 'best man' title implied the awkward title of 'best woman,' she was determined to be known as the 'best lady' to the guests."
