I'm no fan of monarchy and it would be awesome if the UK one spontaneously disintegrated, but I'm pretty sure most people under 30 or so have no idea what she was called "The People's Princess" and so beloved. She SHOOK HANDS with a HIV+ man in a time when some hospital staff refused to treat them.
Happy TOSS Birthday to superfan Joan Winston. She was a member of "The Committee" and organized the first Trek convention. She also visited the set during the filming of the final episode. #TOSSatNight
