Celeste Update: Over $21,000, Headwraps, and Elvis.

Hi Kids,

Celeste posted an update on her fund, and we are still inching closer to the halfway mark!  I truly hope this can be reached soon so the full $50,000 can be raised!  She gives a nice shout-out to Chemo-Beanies who supplied the gorgeous head-wrap she wears in this beautiful recent photo:

I want to give a little shout out to a wonderful company whom I discovered while I was a patient at my local hospital. I had had my 8 hour cancer surgery and first chemo round there and one of the nurses showed me that in the conference room on the oncology floor a wonderful company had donated some very stylish and comfortable head wraps. Hair loss is inevitable with chemotherapy and yes there are wigs but they are not comfortable all the time. Chemo-Beanies has come to the rescue. Please check out this wonderful company and their foundation and support them if you can if the spirit moves you. https://chemobeanies.biz/

FArF: Pancake Spock! (Video) by artist Nathan Shields

This is probably the tastiest tribute to Leonard Nimoy out there — a pancake meticulously formed to become Mr. Spock!  I bet Leonard would have loved this-and ate the whole thing!  Excellent work by pancake artist Nathan Shields!

Mystery Woman — Is this really Sandy Nimoy?

Going through my lovely new Nimoy Tribute magazine from my sister, I came across this amazing picture that I’ve never seen before:

Untitled-1

The Caption says it’s Sandy Nimoy, Leonard’s first wife, but to me it just doesn’t look like her! The face and hair seem wrong – especially since we’re more accustomed to seeing her look like this:

Untitled-2

She also isn’t wearing a wedding ring.  I’ve seen other pictures of Sandy with Leonard on the set (taken later)   But this just seems off!  Winston, you know everything Nimoy, is this really Sandy?

UPDATE:   Winston just confirmed my suspicion that the lady in the first picture is NOT Sandy Nimoy (I really didn’t think so)– So who the heck is she?  It’s not his ‘Girl Friday’ Teresa, it ain’t Phyllis Diller — Who is it? (and I wish I were she!)

A Nice Surprise! (Nimoy Magazine)

My  darling Sister and her beau brought me this last night!  Thanks SO much! It’s beautiful!

Wideo Wednesday: A Very Rare Interview with Leonard in 1967, KGW-TV.

Still from Nimoy’s 1967 interview with KGW-TV

Prepare for a treat:  This is an extremely rare and long-thought lost interview with Leonard Nimoy in 1967 for Portland,Oregon station KGW-TV news.  Leonard talks about being Mr. Spock, and the interviewer must be entranced because she asks him questions as if the Enterprise and Spock are real!   (She likes his hair too!)

Kudos to reader John Webb for alerting me to this!

My Weekly Spock: Man of the People

Going through some files, I came across many pictures of Nimoy with fans, and these were back in the before time, you know, the 60’s and 70’s, before the expensive meet-and-greets of modern conventions.  When you think about it, there must have been thousands like these, and Leonard never forgot where his fame came from, and was always nice and generous with his time to the fans, even when it was overwhelming!   I hope I’ll find more candids like this, and if you or anyone you know has a story of photo of themselves meeting Leonard Nimoy, please join my new Facebook Group here  https://www.facebook.com/groups/833569276690890/ and you can post them there.  We have over 50 members already!

At a music store, @ 1967 or ’68. I love the sales girl’s smirk.

Sorry this is so tiny; the only size I could find.

I believe this photo was taken at the same event, (Leonard with Sandi) from his groovy outfit!

I’m believe this is mid-70’s — note: Nimoy is wearing the famous Spock Tee shirt with “Who is Leonard Nimoy?” on it!
