Although the play closed after a short run in Chicago, Nichols attracted the attention of [[Hugh Hefner]], the publisher of ''Playboy'', who booked her as a singer for his Chicago [[Playboy Club]].<ref name="Ebony-Jan1962">{{Cite magazine |date=January 1962 |editor-last=Johnson |editor-first=John H. |title=Satirical flop brings star success |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BtcDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA41 |magazine=Ebony |volume=17 |issue=3 |pages=41–47}}</ref><ref name="Jet-12JOct1961">{{Cite magazine |last=Still |first=Larry |date=October 12, 1961 |editor-last=Johnson |editor-first=John H. |title=Oscar Brown musical gets warm reception in windy city |magazine=Jet |volume=20 |issue=25 |pages=58–61}}</ref> She also appeared as Carmen for a Chicago stock company production of ''[[Carmen Jones]]'' and performed in a New York production of ''[[Porgy and Bess]]''.

On ''Star Trek'', Nichols was one of the first Black women featured in a major television series. Her prominent supporting role as a [[Bridge (nautical)|bridge]] officer was unprecedented.<ref name="WSJ-MLK">{{Cite news |last=Nishi |first=Dennis |date=January 17, 2011 |title=SpeakEasy: 'Star Trek's' Nichelle Nichols on How Martin Luther King Jr. Changed Her Life |work=[[The Wall Street Journal]] |url=https://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2011/01/17/star-treks-nichelle-nichols-on-how-martin-luther-king-king-jr-changed-her-life/ |url-status=live |access-date=August 21, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170911125501/https://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2011/01/17/star-treks-nichelle-nichols-on-how-martin-luther-king-king-jr-changed-her-life/ |archive-date=September 11, 2017}}</ref> She was once tempted to leave the series; however, a conversation with [[Martin Luther King Jr.]] changed her mind.

Towards the end of the first season, Nichols was offered a role on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]]. Preferring the stage to the television studio, she decided to take the role. Nichols went to Roddenberry's office, told him that she planned to leave, and handed him her resignation letter. Unable to convince her to stay, Roddenberry told her to take the weekend off, and if she still felt she should leave, he would give her his blessing. That weekend, Nichols attended a banquet organized by the [[NAACP]], where she was informed that a fan wanted to meet her.<ref name="auto2">{{Cite web |title=Nichelle Nichols on how Dr. MLK, Jr. dissuaded her from quitting Star Trek - EMMYTVLEGENDS.ORG |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSq_UIuxba8 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211110/pSq_UIuxba8 |archive-date=November 10, 2021 |via=www.youtube.com}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

He said that ''Star Trek'' was the only show that he, and his wife [[Coretta Scott King|Coretta]], would allow their three little children to stay up and watch. [She told King about her plans to leave the series because she wanted to take a role that was tied to Broadway.] I never got to tell him why, because he said, 'You cannot, you cannot...

Calling Nichols a "vital role model", King compared her work on the series to the marches of the ongoing [[civil rights movement]].<ref name="WSJ-MLK" /><ref name="NYDN-MLK2">{{Cite news |last=Huff |first=Richard |date=January 17, 2011 |title='Star Trek' actress Nichelle Nichols: Martin Luther King Jr. impacted decision to stay on Enterprise |work=[[New York Daily News]] |url=https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/star-trek-actress-nichelle-nichols-martin-luther-king-jr-impacted-decision-stay-enterprise-article-1.154674 |url-status=live |access-date=August 21, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190502114006/https://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/star-trek-actress-nichelle-nichols-martin-luther-king-jr-impacted-decision-stay-enterprise-article-1.154674 |archive-date=May 2, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite podcast |url=https://www.startalkradio.net/show/a-conversation-with-nichelle-nichols/ |title=A Conversation with Nichelle Nichols |website=[[StarTalk (podcast)|StarTalk]] |host=Neil deGrasse Tyson |date=July 11, 2011 |time=11:12 |access-date=September 24, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191011064319/https://www.startalkradio.net/show/a-conversation-with-nichelle-nichols/ |archive-date=October 11, 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Nichols |first=Nichelle |url=https://archive.org/details/beyonduhurastart00nich/page/164 |title=Beyond Uhura: Star Trek and Other Memories |date=October 19, 1994 |publisher=[[G.

Former NASA astronaut [[Mae Jemison]] cited Nichols' role of Lieutenant Uhura as her inspiration for becoming an astronaut. [[Whoopi Goldberg]] has also spoken of Nichols' influence,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Whoopi Goldberg |url=http://transporting.to/CyberWoman/whoopi.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110831103712/http://transporting.to/CyberWoman/whoopi.html |archive-date=August 31, 2011 |access-date=August 21, 2019 |website=A Woman's CyberSpace}}</ref> saying she asked for a role on ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'', and her character [[Guinan (Star Trek)|Guinan]] was specially created, while Jemison appeared on an episode of the series.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nichols |first=Nichelle |date=April 7, 2002 |title=Nichelle Nichols – Communications expert Uhura from Star Trek's Original series |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/st/interviews/nichols/printpage.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060628071740/http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/st/interviews/nichols/printpage.html |archive-date=June 28, 2006 |access-date=April 1, 2007 |website=[[BBC]]}}</ref>

In her role as Lieutenant [[Uhura]], Nichols kissed [[White people|white]] actor [[William Shatner]] (as Captain [[James T. Kirk]]) in the November 22, 1968 ''Star Trek'' episode "[[Plato's Stepchildren]]". It has been cited as the first example of an interracial kiss on U.S. television, although several earlier instances have been identified.<ref>{{Cite web |date=September 5, 2001 |title=Nichols Talks First Inter-Racial Kiss |url=http://www.trektoday.com/news/050901_05.shtml |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229160018/http://www.trektoday.com/news/050901_05.shtml |archive-date=February 29, 2012 |access-date=September 29, 2014 |website=[[TrekNation|TrekToday]]}}</ref> The Shatner/Nichols kiss was considered groundbreaking, even though it was portrayed as having been forced by [[Extraterrestrial life|alien]] [[Psychokinesis|telekinesis]]. There was some praise and almost no dissent. In her autobiography ''Beyond Uhura, Star Trek and Other Memories'', Nichols cited a letter from a white Southerner who wrote, "I am totally opposed to the mixing of the races. However, any time a red-blooded American boy like Captain Kirk gets a beautiful dame in his arms that looks like Uhura, he ain't gonna fight it." During the [[Comedy Central Roast]] of Shatner on August 20, 2006, Nichols jokingly referred to the kiss and said, "What do you say, let's make a little more TV history ... ''and kiss my black ass!''{{hsp}}"<ref>{{Cite episode |title=William Shatner |series=Comedy Central Roast |series-link=Comedy Central Roast |network=[[Comedy Central]] |date=August 20, 2006}}</ref>

Despite the series' cancellation in 1969, ''Star Trek'' continued to play a part in Nichols' life. She provided the voice of Uhura in ''[[Star Trek: The Animated Series]]''; in one episode, "The Lorelei Signal", Uhura assumes command of the ''Enterprise''.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Mangels |first=Andy |date=Summer 2018 |title=Star Trek: The Animated Series |magazine=RetroFan |publisher=[[TwoMorrows Publishing]] |issue=1 |pages=25–37}}</ref> Nichols noted in her autobiography her frustration that this never happened on the original series. She co-starred in six ''Star Trek'' films, culminating in ''[[Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]''. [[File:NichelleNicholsHWOFSept2012.jpg|thumb|right|Nichols in 2012]]
In 1994, Nichols published her autobiography, ''Beyond Uhura: Star Trek and Other Memories''. In it, she claimed that the role of Peggy Fair in the television series ''[[Mannix]]'' was offered to her during the final season of ''Star Trek'', but producer Gene Roddenberry refused to release her from her contract. Between the end of the original series and the ''Star Trek'' animated series and feature films, Nichols appeared in small television and film roles.
