Majel Barrett and Gene Roddenberry married in 1969 after Star Trek got on its feet. As a result, Barrett was still involved with TOS and Star Trek’s subsequent series.

Barrett returned to TOS in a recurring role as Nurse Christine Chapel, who had an unrequited love for Spock. As well as voicing numerous characters in The Animated Series, she returned in The Next Generation as Lwaxana Troi and provided the voice for the Enterprise computer, which she also did for Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise.
