      Majel Barrett played both Nurse Chapel and Number One in the original series, but these two actresses in SNW look nothing alike.

        Ohhhh, that explanation was necessary. I thought it was saying their voices were Auto-Tuned, and they’re like the same bland person or something.

        I miss Majel; she made me laugh so much on TNG. 😆

      Majel Barrett played both characters in TOS. She also voiced the computer in TNG, DS9, and Voyager.

      Also Lwaxana Troi. That part’s not relevant to the meme, though.

        Ohhhh! I knew she was Nurse Chapel, the computer, and Lwaxana, but not that she was also Number One. Thanks!

          I’m a major Majel fan (say that 10 times fast!), And it wasn’t until a year or so ago that I realized that Majel played Number One. Blew my mind. Something about her in that episode is just different. Honestly, the woman was a helluvan actor. She threw herself into the roles she took, even when the writing didn’t do her justice.
