My Weekly Spock- Young, Younger, Youngest, and just So Young!

Here’s some wonderful portraits of young Leonard I had never seen before — so young!  You can imagine the dreams of success in his young mind. These all appear to be taken in his early to mid 20’s, but in the bottom two he looks barely out of his teens!   Glad these were taken!

My Weekly Spock: Barnabas Nimoy?

Sorry I’m a little late today — very busy at work!

In one of his last photo shoots, Leonard Nimoy posed in this very dramatic, kind of spooky pose (Those glowing eyes!!)  I think he would have made an excellent vampire- like Barnabas Collins from Dark Shadows!  It’s a a really incredible portrait.  Does anyone know if there’s more from this sitting?

My Weekly Spock – Piping Hot

Yes, smoking is bad for you, but he just looks so delightfully Sherlock-y here!  These are in black and white, but that’s the same light blue top he wore at the space shuttle Enterprise’s unveiling! (see color detail below)

My Weekly Spock: Leonard the Bird Man with Phyllis Diller

When opportunity knocks, one answers — and Leonard even guested on comedienne Phyllis Diller’s The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show  – This takes guts – but looks like he had a swell time!  It only ran one season but I wonder if there’s video of this anywhere?   I’ve seen some other pictures with Leonard on this show, but they’re buried in an old LNAF yearbook that I have to look up!   I’ll show them eventually!  Enjoy!

My Weekly Spock: Leonard, Bill, and Harlan

Here’s a wonderful photo of  Leonard and Bill with writer Harlan Ellison (The City on the Edge 0f Forever).  From the set design,  I’m guessing it was taken during the filming of  Mudd’s Women

Nimoy and Shatner’s autographs are so very typical of their personalities!

Nimoy: Harlan, Love you and your great credits” –  Shatner: “Who the kid in the middle?”Harlan Ellison

lol.   I bet they had a great time!

I’ve also see a version of this photo edited to appeal to all the ‘slash’ fans out there-with Harlan missing and L & N side hugging!  Can’t find a link but you get it.

My Weekly Spock: More Fun Promos – Amok Time!

Some more fun promo and behind-the-scenes shots this week — this time from Amok Time.  Some of these I have never seen before, Like Spock and Kirk fighting in front of  T’Pring, and also the still of little bored T’Pring!  ( I love T’Pring’s huge sunburst ring too.

I think Amok Time is in most Trekkies top 10 lists.  Where does it rank in yours?

My Weekly Spock: Happily Ever After-ing in Camelot

I found this great still from the 1973 stage version of Camelot.  I bet it was lovely (if heartbreaking for King Arthur)

My Weekly Spock: Leonard and George

As George Takei’s labor of love Allegiance goes to Broadway this fall, it seemed a great time to remember  what good friend George was with Leonard. I found some wonderful pictures, not just from their TOS days, but though ST:IV and in 2012 when Leonard went to see the pre-Broadway version of Allegiance.  I’m so glad Leonard got to see his friend George’s wonderful musical, and I hope I’ll see it too!  The final picture was taken in 2014.  I’m sure George misses his friend.  ❤

Also note the wonderful picture here on the ST:IV set, where the little boy (Sulu’s great-great-great-great… grandfather in the story) is shyly standing in front of Leonard.    Sorry that scene of Sulu and his distant relative was never filmed, but the idea of it was was sweet.

My Weekly Spock–Remembering Leonard at the TONYS

If you didn’t catch the Tony Awards last night, in the memorial section Leonard’s picture was among the many   😦   I do love the photo they chose to represent him; one of my favorites.  I’ll add a copy of that picture when I find it!

Leonard had done a couple of plays on Broadway, Full Circle and Equus. And he had a theater named after him at Symphony Space in NYC.  I’m glad the Tony’s remembered him as more than Mr. Spock.
