Leonard Nimoy, Dead at 83
Leonard Nimoy lived
up to his longtime catchphrase: Live long and prosper. Having achieved success

| Leonard Nimoy 1952 age 20 |
Most widely known
for his performance as half-human, half-Vulcan science officer Spock on the
classic sci-fi TV show “Star Trek” and its many subsequent film and videogame
incarnations, Nimoy was also a successful director, helming “Star Trek” pics
“The Search for Spock” and “The Voyage Home,” as well as non-“Star Trek” fare;
an accomplished stage actor; a published writer and poet; and a noted
photographer. He also dabbled in singing and songwriting.
But despite his
varied talents, Nimoy will forever be linked with the logical Mr. Spock.
Spotted by “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry when he appeared on
Roddenberry’s NBC Marine Corps. skein “The Lieutenant,” Nimoy was
After the series wrapped, Nimoy joined the fourth season of
spy series “Mission : Impossible” as
master-of-disguise Paris ,
leaving after the fifth season. He went on to star in the 1971 Western
“Catlow,” with Yul Brynner and Richard Crenna, and the 1978 remake of “Invasion
of the Body Snatchers” with Donald Sutherland and Jeffrey Goldblum. The actor
also made a series of TV films throughout the ’70s and received an Emmy
nomination in 1982 for his role as Golda Meir’s husband in telepic “A Woman
Called Golda.”
Also during the
’70s, Nimoy narrated the docuseries “In Search of …,” which investigated
unexplained events, paranormal phenomena and urban legends long before these
matters become the common fodder of pop culture.
Then the siren call
of “Star Trek” beckoned again and Nimoy returned to the role of Mr. Spock for
1979’s “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” The film opened well at the box office,
and though not well reviewed, it did spawn enough interest for Paramount to
greenlight sequels that would continue into the 1990s: “The Wrath of Khan”
(1982), “The Search for Spock” (1984), “The Voyage Home” (1986), “The Final
Frontier” (1989) and “The Undiscovered Country” (1991). Nimoy was in all of
them, albeit briefly in “The Search for Spock.”
Nimoy also appeared
as Spock in a couple of episodes of series spinoff “Star Trek: The Next
Generation,” several videogames based on the property and the J.J.
Abrams-helmed “Star Trek” reboot, playing Spock Prime to Zachary Quinto’s young
Spock in the 2009 film and its sequel.
After directing
several TV projects, including episodes of “Rod Serling’s Night Gallery” and
his “Star Trek” co-star William Shatner’s “T.J. Hooker,” Nimoy signed on to
helm “Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.” Variety said the production was
“helmed with a sure hand by debuting feature director Leonard Nimoy, who also
appears briefly but to good effect as the indestructible half-human/half-Vulcan
Spock.” The review went on to say “Nimoy’s direction is people-intensive with
less of the zap and effects diversions of competing films.” He went on to
direct the next pic in the series, “The Voyage Home,” as well as four other
feature films, including the 1987 comedy “3 Men and a Baby,” starring Tom
Selleck, Ted Danson and Steve Guttenberg, and the Diane Keaton-Liam Neeson
drama “The Good Mother” (1988).
Nimoy also had a
long history of stage work. He appeared on Broadway in “Full Circle ,” directed by Otto Preminger,
in 1973, and as a replacement for Anthony Hopkins as Martin Dysart in “Equus.”
In 1996 he directed “The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree” on the Rialto . But he also
starred in many regional productions — he played Stanley Kowalski in a 1955
Atlanta production of “A Streetcar Named Desire” — and starred in several
touring shows: He was Tevye in “Fiddler on the Roof” in 1971, Sherlock Holmes
in a play of that name in 1976 and Vincent Van Gogh in solo show “Vincent: The
Story of a Hero,” which he also produced and directed, in 1978-80.
Leonard Simon Nimoy
was born in Boston ; his parents were Jewish
immigrants from the Ukraine ,
and the language at home was Yiddish. He developed an interest in acting at an
early age, first appearing on stage at 8 in a production of “Hansel and
Gretel.” He took drama classes for a while at Boston
College , and after leaving home to
pursue his career in Hollywood ,
he landed his first lead role in the 1952 film “Kid Monk Baroni.”
After serving in
the Army from 1953-55, he appeared in small roles in a few films, but mostly
found roles in TV series, appearing in episodes of “Dragnet,” “Sea Hunt,”
“Bonanza,” “Wagon Train,” “Rawhide,” “The Twilight Zone,” “The Untouchables,”
“The Outer Limits,” “The Virginian,” “Get Smart” and “Gunsmoke” before rising
to fame in “Star Trek.”
Most recently, he
recurred on Fox sci-fi series “Fringe” as maniacal, genius professor William
Bell, and he voiced Spock for a 2012 episode of “The Big Bang Theory.”
In addition to his
work on “In Search Of…,” Nimoy lent his resonant, intelligent voice to a
variety of films, TV projects and documentaries, including A&E docu series
“Ancient Mysteries.”
He wrote two
autobiographies. The first, published in 1977, was called “I Am Not Spock.” Though
“Star Trek” fans thought he was distancing himself from the beloved character,
Nimoy had always enjoyed playing the character but was also using the book to
talk about other aspects of his life. The book features dialogue between the
thesp and Spock and touched on a self-proclaimed identity crisis because he
became so associated with his character. His second autobiography, “I Am Spock”
(1995), showed his embrace of that association.
He also wrote
several books of poetry, including “You and I,” “Warmed by Love” and “A
Lifetime of Love: Poems on the Passages of Life.” Some of his poetry books
featured his photos.
Nimoy studied
photography at UCLA in the 1970s, and his work as a photographer was shown in
museums, art galleries and in published works, including “The Full Body
Project: Photographs by Leonard Nimoy” and “Shekhina.”
In music, Nimoy
released five albums on Dot Records, the first of which was space-based music
and spoken word, “Mr. Spock’s Music From Outer Space.”
Nimoy was married twice,
first to actress Sandra Zober. They divorced in 1987. In 1988, he married Susan Bay ,
an actress who is the cousin of helmer Michael Bay
He is survived by
his wife; two children from his first marriage, son Adam, a helmer, and
daughter Julie; a stepson; and several grandchildren.
