My Weekly Spock: This Was a Happy Man

Posted on November 9, 2015 | 1 comment

Reviewing pictures of Leonard — This was a happy man.  I mean, sure, we all have problems and can’t be happy all the time, but so often you can see the genuine joy Leonard possessed in many candids and portraits.

Joy at a personal appearance

He clearly  loved his work, his family, his fans, and his life.  His smile was infectious and images of him laughing or smiling always bring me joy!

FArFri: Trek Like an Egyptian…Pop Culture Hieroglyphic by Josh Lane

Posted on November 6, 2015 | 4 comments

Just came across a bunch of these pieces featuring pop culture characters as Egyptian hieroglyphics!  Kirk is naturally the pharaoh and Spock is can truly walk like an Egyptian!  This is clever in so many ways; I especially love the Gorn in the corner!   You can see more of these wonders here.

Wideo Wednesday: Bill Stole Leonard’s Bike!

Posted on November 4, 2015 | 1 comment

Great video where the old pals recall the legend of how Bill stole Leonard’s bike on the Star Trek set.  It’s so lovely to see them laughing together – Bill’s a ham as usual, but Leonard is just delightful.  I wish I could have seen this when they toured together in the 1980’s.  Magical.   Enjoy.

Nimoy Interview in Films In Review (1984)

Posted on November 3, 2015 | 1 comment

A good friend of mine gave me some of her old Films in Review magazines and to my delight, I found this interview with Leonard Nimoy in one of the issues!  He discusses directing Star Trek III and almost gives away the ending!   Alas, the only picture they use her is Nimoy in 1/4 profile, but it’s a good interview and insight into an early directing experience for the actor.  (btw, Films in Review actually blasted the movie in the August ’84 edition,review STIII August 84 (see here)  but at least they gave Nimoy a chance to talk nicely about it in the November issue.

My Weekly Spock – Nimoy on 87th Precinct: The Very Hard Sell

Posted on November 2, 2015 | Leave a comment

Here’s some great production pics of Leonard with actress Charlene Whitman  as guests on the series 87th Precinct.   He played a mysterious murderer/con artist Barrow and she was his conflicted girlfriend, Stella,  in the episode The Very Hard Sell.  (1961)  He’s both a jerk and a charmer here.  Note: Nimoy doesn’t appear until @ 2/3rds into the episode, but he’s worth every minute.

The star of the show was none other than Robert Lansing as Detective Steve Carella, who would later play Gary Seven in Assignment: Earth.  Does the detective get his man?  You can see all of The Very Hard Sell  here.
