Only a few days back, Nichelle Nichols' health condition became the subject of headlines after the 82 year-old actress was rushed to the hospital after suffering a stroke, concerning science fiction and particularly "Star Trek" fans all over the world.
It's been less than two weeks since Nichelle Nichols' health made headlines in the early days of June, when she suffered from a mild stroke in her California home and was rushed to the hospital for some testing that would determine how serious a strike the incident had been on her health - but it seems like Lieutenant Uhura is just fine!
Madame Noire reports that, while fans around the world were concerned about Nichelle Nichols' health, the actress sat down in an interview to discuss the experience, although she claims not to remember much of the actual stroke - a stroke she recovered from in barely a couple of days, leaving rehabilitation and recovery just two days after her stroke.
When Nichelle Nichols' health became the subject of a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actress told Nischelle Turner the secret for her quick recovery: denying things she doesn't have any say over, a coping mechanism she learned from her parents.
"I am feeling the best that I felt in a very long time," the iconic star said, smiling. "I am as wild and woolly as I have ever been."
As Philly.com reports, Nichelle Nichols' health took a turn for the worse on June 3, when the 82 year-old lost minor mobility on the right side of her body, but the whole thing seems to have been no more than a scare.
Nichols made television history in 1968 by sharing a kiss with "Star Trek" lead William Shatner, the first time an interracial kiss was shown on the small screen.
Earlier this year, one of her "Star Trek" co-stars, Leonard Nimoy (famous for playing Vulcan Mr. Spock) passed away at age 83, prompting further concern about Nichelle Nichols' health from fans.
