In fact, at the time she was the only true movie star. She was also the only confessed fan of the series. After her, Will Wheaton had a supporting role in "Stand by Me", and LeVar Burton acted in the TV mini-series "Root". Meanwhile, Patrick Stewart had a minor role in the ill-fated 1984 movie "DUNE".

She also got to do some of her finer dramatic work post-COLOR PURPLE on that show. It's fitting that she was put against Sir Patrick for most of her scenes, because she had the same gravity as he did and most of the movies she was put in the following years didn't give her that responsibility.

I remember when Q said Guinan was dangerous. For him to say that, with his unlimited powers, should give you a clue to what Guinan was capable of. But, she never displayed her powers openly as Q did.

Oh gosh, I haven't seen her this genuinely tickled for ages! Poor Whoopi is usually so serious and restrained on the View, because of course the discussions tend to be not very fun a lot of the time, and she has to talk about things she might find tiresome. So I'm so glad she finally got the opportunity to get to a con and see the immense outpour of love the fans have for her! When I grew up on TNG, she was one of my favourite characters, and I actually started watching her other films *because* of Guinan, not vice-versa! So thank you so very much for your sharing of these videos, Heather, I've been smiling and watching for hours!

I visited the TNG set back in the 80s. We were there when it wasn't filming and got to go into all the rooms, sit in the Captain's chair, etc. I remember looking at the back of the wall in the Ready Room and seeing the wooden frame, wires, etc. You could actually move and shake the wall if you pressed on it. Outside the windows of ten forward was a large black curtain with little flakes of tin foil to reflect light as stars. I remember wondering if this would impact my immersion watching in the future. It didn't one bit. I may have been on that fake set, but when I watch TNG today that is a *spaceship* made out of duranium poly-alloy, going at warp speed.

I love the acknowledgement of the letter writers. My mom and Grandma introduced us to scifi as children and watched Star Trek at 10 years and down (6 of us) and we wrote letters. We were sent tickets to come to the set to see the making of an episode. We laughed because we couldnt afford it but we loved the fact that they got our letters and acknowledged them with a gift. Love Star Trek always all of the Trek!!!!

Nichelle has set the standard and Rodenberry was such a visionary

what a great panel. whoopi has so many stories and love for the series.

Wish I could tell Whoopi how I loved her character. She was in my top 3 of the series, in no particular order, along with Brent's Data and Schultz's Barclay. She was the impersonator of the voice of reason throughout my late teens.

OMG, this made me cry about this history about how Black people normally weren't yet put in Sci-Fi shows until Gene Rodenberry added a black woman actress in the original Star Trek series. and that Gebe realised Whoopi was right about that fact, so ge added her in. Glad he added her in.

"Twilight Zone" was the first TV series that placed black actors/extras in rolls other than servants or comic buffoons. Similarly "What's My Line" had black actors/professional/guests--which the panel treated with respect--something totally unknown back then. Nervous producers wanted Mitch Miller to remove Leslie Uggams from his show's lineup; Miller flatly refused and informed these producers "No Leslie Uggams, no Mitch Miller Show"...she started her career as a featured soloist. Times, fortunately, have changed.

Uhura was new of the most important people in the show, when she spoke, everyone listened. She was positioned to be in every shot the Captain was in.

There will never be another Whoopie. So much love for this stunning woman x

Thank You, Star Trek has been a show I grew up with. The originals my Grandfather got for me on VHS to the TNG shows my sister got me watching when they were coming out on cable TV. I am still watching, and I enjoy the new shows as well. I love Star Trek so much its my go to, I watch to relax and dream of perfect times for humanity. I Always hoped to see Guinan be a secret leader of a Federation organization (the future time travel police) during a time where the federation falls to political unrest, where the corruption of power in a future where time travel tech starts becoming easier to acquire is then wielded by an unworthy sort leading the federation. I have had tons of thoughts about this all the way down to using the multiverse as the problem created by those who time traveled in the very beginning creating alternate timelines which will ultimately need to be fixed by Guinan as she the last of her race. I chose Guinan cause she has more care about the well being of things but puts beings like Q at bay as they each have their unique abilities. One short I wrote actually has Hugh travel from one universe where the borg has won every encounter, reached so far they had gained a lot of the tech that was supposed to be destroyed in TNG and other Treks, Techs like Iconian transport and they then create a borg super with tech personal transport healing Nano repair time dilation and more, to another universe as Hugh learns the plan for multiverse domination a connection from another Hugh then makes this one borg decide to steal the tech jump ship and come to a universe that is labeled as the most threatening to the ultimate conquest of the borg. That Universe will be where Guinan is leading the fate and future of the universes past and present towards stability. It would also give a lot more explanation to why Guinan just knows things aside from her race just being listeners. Thank You ALL OF YOU STAR TREK CREATORS EVEYONE INVOLVED you are the reason I write all of you are the reason I dream of space but most importantly the reason I strive to always hold myself up to honor those around me be polite yet strong, tactical, and creative. Thank You all again and again and again. I only deeply hope that my kids can have the same similar trek experiences, hopes, and dreams that space travel has given me. Star Trek is my Saturday morning show right next to X-Men. I love all you beautiful people involved in every single Star Trek. Truly your forever admirer Adam CC.

wow she seems like a really fun person lol More actors should feel about their work like she does.

I agree,The most cool,chilled person I have ever seen.Whether she is a comic or guidance on STNG.

I cannot find the interview to save my life. But I distinctly remember them asking Whoopie to cut her hair. She refused, so they designed the hat for her to wear. It feels like they have reckoned the history of that hat.
