Oh, no.

Well, I suppose that could be worse, but she'll be in our thoughts.

I heard it was a minor one. But in the past few months has been brutal for the TOS cast.

Minor or not, still pretty distressing.

From Chase Masterson's twitter: I asked her how she takes her coffee. She smiled. "Hot & black, baby," she said. "Just like me."



I guess Nichelle has recovered.

And I guess Masterson's new gig is as Nichols' hairdresser?
