The Original Star Trek Cast: Who Passed Away and Who Is Still Here?

Sixty years ago, the USS Enterprise set out on its maiden voyage across American television. Today, most of the beloved officers from that historic bridge have passed away—yet three members of the core original cast are still with us. In this tribute, we honor the legendary cast of Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS), remembering the remarkable actors who shaped science fiction history—from James Doohan (Scotty), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), and DeForest Kelley (Bones) to Leonard Nimoy (Spock), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel / Computer Voice), and Grace Lee Whitney (Janice Rand). We also celebrate the living legends still carrying the torch—William Shatner (Captain Kirk), George Takei (Sulu), and Walter Koenig (Chekov)—looking back at their historic milestones, personal triumphs, and what happened after the cameras stopped rolling.
