When pitching a new science fiction TV series to Desilu studios in 1964, Gene Roddenberry created one of the most enduring storytelling universes. However, for all the Great Bird of the Galaxy's prescient influence, he did not do it alone. If he is the father of Star Trek, then it's fair to say the universe's "mother" is story editor, producer and writer, Dorothy "D.C." Fontana. She passed away suddenly in 2019, but her contributions to this aspirational view of the future make her a true immortal.
