Filmation - Lieutenant Nyota Uhura from the Star Trek Animated Series

I probably overpaid for this one, but I rarely see an Uhura piece come up.

If anyone is wondering about the cartoon series, it aired on Saturday mornings from Septem 1973 to October 1974. It was just 5 years after the cancellation of the original live action show. And for me, the amazing thing to realize now was that all the voices were done by the original cast. Back then, as a kid, it only made sense. Why WOULDN'T it use them?

Here's something from Wikipedia: Initially, Filmation was only going to use the voices of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, Doohan and Barrett. Doohan and Barrett would also perform the voices of Sulu and Uhura. Nimoy refused to voice Spock in the series unless Nichelle Nichols and George Takei were added to the cast, claiming that Sulu and Uhura were proof of the ethnic diversity of the 23rd century and should not be recast. Nimoy also took this stand as a matter of principle, as he knew of the financial troubles many of his Star Trek co-stars were facing after cancellation of the series. According to Scheimer, when Nimoy pointed out that the casting would cut the only two minority actors from the series, "We were horrified at our unintended slight, made all the worse because we were the one studio who had been championing diversity in its output." Koenig was not forgotten, as Filmation were able to assuage Nimoy's complaints on his account by buying a script from Koenig for one episode ("The Infinite Vulcan").
