In an even more awesome CMOA, a young African-American woman applied to NASA, citing Nichols as her inspiration to go into ''space''. This was Dr. Mae Jemison, the '''first female African-American astronaut''', who of course took the opportunity to deliver Uhura's signature line to answer Houston. LifeImitatesArt indeed!

Famously took Creator/WilliamShatner down several hundred pegs. When Shatner interviewed her for ''Franchise/StarTrek Memories'', she said, "All right, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech now I'm going to tell you why I despise you.]]" She then ripped into him for, essentially, being an arrogant cad on set - which he kind of was. He and Nic had since made up, at least partly. In fact, by ripping him apart, she may have begun his redemption.

She was very eager to shuck her clothes (see: ''Film/StarTrekVTheFinalFrontier''). Fans approved of this, as Nichelle was quite possibly the living definition of a foxy grandma.
