Nichols was an accomplished Jazz singer. This talent was on display in one episode I'm aware of

Insane level talent.

I was never a Star Trek fan but I appreciated the significance of her presence. It was refreshing at that time seeing a black woman taken seriously and treated with respect.

Indeed - the fact that she had a starring role as a black woman back then was really quite remarkable.

Did she do her own stunts? Every time there was trouble on the Enterprise Uhura's chair would be falling over, lol.
