It's been a while since we've seen either one of these actresses on the big screen, but here they are in the same film together as Jasmine Guy and Nichelle Nichols are featured in the indie film 'Tru Loved' which opens this week in limited theaters.

Directed by Stewart Wade, the film also features Najarra Townsend, Alexandra Paul, Cynda Williams, Matthew Thompson, Jake Abel, Bruce Vilanch, Alec Mapa, Joseph Julian Soria, Tye Olson, Marcia Wallace, Vernon Wells, Jane Lynch, Elaine Hendrix

Sixteen-year-old Tru (Najarra Townsend) is uprooted by her lesbian moms (Alexandra Paul, Cynda Williams) from her comfortable gay-friendly home in San Francisco and moved to a conservative, suburban community in Southern California.

Tru's only friend is a closeted football player (Matthew Thompson) and even that friendship is jeopardized when she starts the school's first Gay-Straight Alliance. Guy and Nichols play the athlete's mother and grandmother.

In promoting the film, Jasmine Guy states, 'This is an important story told in a beautiful way. No rhetoric, no preaching, no judgment - it's just a slice of life about what these young people are going through, and trying to deal with these changes in our society. They are having to accept and work through these issues without being able to speak to older generations about it a lot of the time'.

Best known for playing Whitley Gilbert on TV's A Different World, Guy had the opportunity to work Nichols, who is famously known for playing Uhura on the original TV Star Trek series. 'I grew up watching Nichelle on TV, and Matthew [Thompson, who plays Lodell], grew up watching me! So it's really a built in family we have here with the three of us! It's like we already know each other - there's already a tie. Growing up watching STAR TREK and seeing Nichelle - there were so few black women on television, I really watched every move she made. And from listening to Matthew, he did the same with me, so we had an automatic bond as a family.'
