How about a treasure trove of Mudd promos!  (You know I can never get enough TOS promos!) Some are from Mudd’s Women, the rest from I, Mudd.  Which Mudd episode was your favorite? muddswomen11825864_964761080212760_675021145731752616_n

My Weekly Spock: That Salome Shirt!!

Posted on April 18, 2016 | 2 comments

Good Lord! I thought as I first saw this incredible shirt picture — what disco did Leonard just boogie out of?  But on closer inspection, I could see that the images on the shirt are a marvelous collage of Aubrey Beardsley illustrations from the Oscar Wilde illustrated play of Salome.  The gowned image on his right (your left) elbow is a portion of a piece that lists the artwork in the book.  On his left (your right) elbow is a devilish hermaphrodite.  On his upper right shoulder is ‘The Climax“.  These are actually some of the less graphic designs in the book, which you can see here.  Beardsley could be quite bizarre, creepy and controversial, but often beautiful too.   Incredible stuff.

I’m guessing this picture was taken not in the disco era, but a but earlier, say 1969-71, when there was a revival bloom in the rediscovery of Beardsley  artwork (probably brought on by the Psychedelic movement).  If there are any more pictures from this shoot, I’d love to see them.   Leonard definitely had his own style though!  Groove on!

My Weekly Spock: Leonard Nimoy in “Seizure” (1980)

Posted on April 4, 2016 | Leave a comment

Just came across these gorgeous stills from Seizure: The Story of Kathy Morris which came out in 1980.  I remember seeing this when it was broadcast, based on a true story and very moving.

My Weekly Spock: Preview of Rare Slides

Posted on March 21, 2016 | Leave a comment

Hey All,

I recently acquired a bunch of rare slides from a dealer on eBay which came from the Celebrity Photo Agency in CA.  Naturally I bought three pages of rarely seen Nimoy images to share here!

Pardon the quality of the image — this is just a quick scan of one of the slides, and when I get these converted to prints, it will look much sharper and brighter.   This was taken of Leonard at a book signing at Brentanos on October 30th of 1995.   More to come in time!  Enjoy!

My Weekly Spock: Seventies Man

Posted on March 14, 2016 | 1 comment

I always love seeing Nimoy in his 1970’s mode!  Mister Cool!   Here’s a few from personal appearances.  Of course, the media still wouldn’t let Spock go at this point, as the caption to the last picture dictates “Spock, Where are your ears?” Oy!

I think that’s the Shat-Man in the background.

My Weekly Spock: Western Wulcan

Posted on March 7, 2016 | 1 comment

Seemed like a good time to bring out some Western shots of Leonard in two of his best westerns, Catlow (1971) as bounty hunter Miller, and the NBC movie, Bonanza: Under Attack (1995)  where Leonard played  reformed outlaw Frank James who helps the progeny of the Cartwright family fight an unscrupulous Pinkerton detective.   I’ve seen Catlow, but never the Bonanza one, hope to find it soon.

My Weekly Spock – Tuxedo Junction

Posted on February 29, 2016 | Leave a comment

Last night was the Oscars, and in awards season, it was always nice to see Leonard in a Tux!  I don’t know who made the Spock mash-up, but it works!      😉  Also including here an video of Leonard talking about being nominated for an Emmy and how Sci-Fi is rarely respected in the awards column.  A shame he never did get an Emmy for Spock, although he was nominated for all three seasons.  I bet if Trek went on, he would have kept on being nominated, but I doubt the Emmy’s would have recognized his brilliance   😦  He’ll always be a winner to me!

My Weekly Spock: Toronto Turtleneck Mystery…

Posted on February 22, 2016 | 3 comments

I came across these wonderful (and remarkably hot) photos of Leonard when he did a radio interview with Betty Kennedy for Toronto radio on April 7, 1969.  He’s quickly grown out the Spock hair and sideburns, and is all ready to be Paris on Mission: Impossible.  I also came across a similar close-up of him in a room with damask wallpaper, but I’m not sure if it’s the same day (hair is very similar) and he changed his turtleneck, or it this was just a different day. I’m guessing the latter~ But no matter, it’s Leonard Prime!
