Interesting notes about Leonard Nimoy: in addition to involvement with acting, directing, poetry, and photography, Nimoy was a well-liked Hollywood socialite in the 1960's who was invited to many social gatherings in Hollywood (and he reportedly was also a favorite toke-buddy of Jimi Hendrix, while Hendrix lived in Los Angles in the late 1960's). He was also a scientific inspiration to a lot of people who grew up watching Star Trek, and I honestly believed he may have encouraged a lot of young people growing up in the 1960's (myself included) to become involved in science, especially biological-based and computer-oriented science.
You stepped
Deep into
The waters
Of my soul
Patiently you searched
For the precious
Stone
You found it
Warmed it
Caressed it
And gave it
To me
Unselfishly
As a gift
And now
It is ours
And we call it
Love
A silence with you
A silence with you
Is not
a silence
But a moment rich
with peace
Because
Because
I have known despair
I value hope
Because
I have tasted frustration
I value fulfillment
Because
I have been lonely
I value love
You Fill Me With Your Love
You fill me
With your love
You fill me
With your caring
You fill me
With your thoughts
You fill me
With your sharing
Thank You For a World of Kindness
Thank you
For a world
Of kindness
Thank you
For your
Endless patience
Thank you
For your
Sensitive understanding
Thank you
For Your
Love

My favorite actor of all time. He was pure and loyal to his craft and fans . he is loved and missed
Here's the cult classic- 'The ballad of Bilbo Baggins
LOL!!! Thanks Stick!!
Here's the last known photo of Leonard Nimoy at a large public function. You gotta love him.
Nimoy was my favorite also, but when I was a kid I didn't talk about this (all the school boys in my childhood time worshiped Captain Kirk, and Spock and McCoy (and the others) were viewed as "useless idiots"). I really enjoyed his "In Search of.." television series.
Hi Malcolm,
I can't keep a straight face if I watch Star Trek now, but as a young boy growing up in London, enjoyed those 1960s endless repeats, of the original series...
I liked Spock more than Kirk, as a character, although I do recall, as you suggest, many fellow schoolboys preferring Kirk, as he was more a man of action....Kids and especially boys, like that type of thing in adults....Nobody liked Dr McCoy, who was considered too emotional and weak.
Captain Kirk played by William Shatner, was actually a very good Canadian actor, who brought much gravitas and physical macho to his role and he did many of his own stunts, including that infamous stunt in "Arena" in which he blew up the reptoid, using gunpowder...(you know, charcoal, saltpeter and sulphur, which just happened to be lying around on the planet surface.) LOL
But when that special effect made it's big bang on screen, the actor suffered severe bouts of tinitus for years of his life, following it...the severe ringing in the ears.
This is the scene:
OH, DOES THIS BRING BACK MEMORIES!!!!!!! Thanks, Drekx!!! "No, I won't kill you."
