1978 Memo to Majel Roddenberry: Leaks and Tension in Star Trek 2 Production
A recently unearthed memo, discussed on Larry Nemecek’s “The Trek Files” podcast, highlights Paramount’s growing concern about information leaks from the Star Trek inner circle. Michael Eisner, or Katzenberg, subtly implied Majel Barrett Roddenberry as a potential source of these leaks. Majel was a significant figure in the franchise, not only because she was the wife of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, but also due to her performances (as Nurse Chapel, the Enterprise computer, and later Lwaxana Troi) and creative contributions within it.
