Majel Barrett-Roddenberry (born Majel Lee Hudec) is a recurring actress on Star Trek and was the wife of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry until his passing. She is the only actor to have had a role on all of the Star Trek series – mostly not as a character on the shows but as the computer voice.
As an actress, she was featured on Star Trek and two of the Star Trek films as Nurse (later Doctor) Christine Chapel and the character Number One in Star Trek's original pilot episode, as well as Lwaxana Troi on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Along with those roles, she has provided the computer voice throughout all six Star Trek television series and several of the feature films.
Majel and Gene also co-founded and co-ran Lincoln Enterprises. She still co-runs the company with their son, Eugene Roddenberry, Jr.
In 2001 she was interviewed for the special feature Phase II: The Lost Enterprise on the Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The Director's Edition) DVD.
