Nichelle Nichols, who broke barriers for Black women in Hollywood as communications officer Lt. Uhura on the original “Star Trek” television series, has died at the age of 89.
The weather was excellent, and the atmosphere was filled with lots of beautiful smiles, and excitement on July 10 as the cast, crew, and filmmakers, of the new movie “Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank” joined celebrity families, for a special “Family Day” held at Paramount Picture Studios in Hollywood.
This year’s Eagle-Con theme, “Possibilities Imagined Here,” celebrates diversity and addresses accessibility, underrepresentation and pushing boundaries in science fiction and fantasy genres over a series of three days, March 11-13.
The event was an extravaganza of LA High talent with exceptional performances by the Jazz Band, Color Guard, Cheerleaders, Outkast Dance Academy and drama students.
The celebratory weekend is planned for Oct. 20 & 21 at 7:00 pm, and will be hosted at the Petersen Automotive Museum in the Bruce Meyer Family Gallery.
Organizers say that a “spectacular” all-alumni half-time show (including NFL Super Bowl Champions) will be a highlight of the evening.
