Here’s a couple of shots of Leonard proving that real men wear pink! And can look darn good in it too!

My Weekly Spock: Blooper Fun!

Posted on June 30, 2014 | 3 comments

I only wish there were more! Blooper and on set silliness on the Trek set… In the last shot, Nimoy looks surprising a lot like Quinto!

My Weekly Spock: Some Archival Goodness…

Posted on June 23, 2014 | Leave a comment

I found some great archival stuff for this week: First, what appears to be a collection of some Trek/Nimoy goodness from a teenager’s bedroom wall in 1967, then a detail of the movie magazine article “My Other Life” below. (Don’t you love the first person narrative there? No doubt written by someone else!)   I don’t know it there’s more to that article, but if I find more, you’ll see it here.  I love finding Nimoy stuff in old teen magazines.  You’ll also note there’s some badly colorized pictures here from the Trek set (T’Pring in Red!)  Enjoy!  il_570xN.448926119_g008 887d49c2a79df9a8057588de438aec75

My Weekly Spock — At Home with Nimoy

Posted on April 7, 2014 | 5 comments

A little shout out to my  pals at Facebook for linking me to this great picture and article about Mr. Nimoy’s home in Bel Air.  An interesting place, definitely, although more museum-ish than cozy. I’d like to know the story behind what appears to be a burned out cello behind him.  I love the tea house!

My Weekly Spock — Some More Seventies Stills

Posted on March 31, 2014 | 3 comments

Even though Trek was over by 1969, Nimoy’s popularity was soaring  from its syndication and exposure in Mission Impossible.  A shame Baffled didn’t get farther that a pilot, that would have been a fun show.  But Nimoy’s credits notwithstanding, he was and is  always Number 1 with his fans.

FArFri – A Gallery of Nimoy/Spocks from Tafafa!

Posted on March 28, 2014 | 5 comments

Hey Kids!

As you seen in previous FArFri , I’ve posted the work of artist Tafafa and her gorgeous renderings of Leonard Nimoy as himself and other characters.  Tafafa has admitted on her DeviantArt page that she’s totally fascinated with  Nimoy’s features, and aren’t we lucky that she captures him so beautifully?  As a Birthday Week Special, I’m posting a bunch of her Nimoy studies– from kid to Senior — Prepare to be blown away.  Enjoy!

Young Leonard seems to be channeling Alfred E. Neuman here!

This is remarkable not just for its intimacy, but for the way it portrays the pain of Pon Farr.

I love this one – it really captures his personality.

With the wisdom of his years — his eyes look a little teary here. Stunning.

“Olympic Smoker” Nimoy on Piers Morgan (Partial VIDEO)

Posted on February 11, 2014 | 6 comments

IMG_8557Hey Kids,

Mr. Nimoy gave a fine and heartfelt interview on CNN last night with Piers Morgan.  In this segment he talks about how he was an ‘Olympic Smoker’ and the ignorance of tobacco dangers when he was young.  Here’s that part of the interview’;  I hope to get the full interview up later.   He did great! Rock on, Grandpa.
