Here’s singer Pharrell interviewing Nimoy a couple of years ago:
Nimoy came up with the “Live long and prosper” salute from a hand gesture he’d seen as a child at the synagogue. Fascinating.

The Moar You Know
There was a reverence for intelligence and wisdom that Star Trek very much promulgated, and which Nimoy’s character embodied. What that means to me is a subject for another time.
The Leonard Nimoy of real life was a hell of a nice and funny guy who worked his ass off and didn’t think he was too good for a role. It showed. He’ll be missed.
WereBear
First role: handing over a teletype printout in Them! Though I think he was very young and did some of those early serials, like Commando Cody.
Loved him in Star Trek, Mission Impossible, and later, the movies. Always had presence and a great voice. If one had to be typecast, an iconic character beloved by millions is the way to do it.
WereBear
I think it helps if you look at other series around that time. The vacuity would deaden the body of a blue whale.

Not surprised to learn he was the co-creator of the storyline for Star Trek IV. My husband, who is a huge fan of the original series, said that that film, while not the best of the first 6 movies, most captured the spirit of the show itself.
(The husband, who took today’s news very hard, also commented to me, “Now I know how you felt when Elisabeth Sladen died.”) :(

I’m saddened but don’t feel I’ve lost anything. He lived a long life of art, entertainment, and good works, and seems to have been content at the end. And he got to die at home which is always a plus.

Reposted from below:
From the second New York Star Trek Convention to the last one, I was a gofer. At that second convention, I stood outside one business room shouting at fans to get back, we don’t know when who is going to be here or when, etc., for several hours Sunday morning of the con. (I knew that Nimoy was going to be there.) The convention hosts had decided that no gofers would be able to meet him in the room. I decided that, “no, that is not acceptable after I’ve been shouting and hurting my voice…”. So, when I got word that they would be moving him by way of the kitchen, I stood in the doorway, convention book and pen in hand. He would sign my book or not leave the room. I stood there and stuck the book and pen in his face as the door opened. And he signed the book. (Stupidly I gave the book to my then boyfriend.)
Another story: Saturday evening, I’m in the business room. The phone phone rings, my friend Laura answers it and says “Bridge, Lt. Palmer speaking.” Her face turns several shades of red and hands me the phone. It’s Nimoy asking to speak to Al Shuster (Con chair). I had the phone to a third person after saying Shuster ist’t there right now but I’ll go get him. I run off to the ballroom and find Al Shuster’ I start to stutter and Shuster says something nasty, I tell him that there’s an important call for him. (Can’t say who is on the phone because of the fans around us. Shuster runs to the business room. I walk back slowly. Ah, those were the days.

A genuinely nice and talented guy, as it turned out, who continued to expand his life while good-naturedly handling the Spock-emeritus role. RIP, we’ve lost someone special.

President Obama issued a nice statement:
Via Vox.
Villago Delenda Est
He brought a great deal of humanity to the show by not being a human, so much that the successor shows felt the need to fulfill the trope (Data in TNG, Odo in DS9, The Doctor (and to an extent Seven) in Voyager, T’Pol and Phlox in Enterprise) to have someone to make comments on the human condition who was apart from the humans.
What was terrific about the Spock-McCoy ongoing relationship is that the writers fed it knowing that Nimoy and Kelley could deliver on their words with panache and verve.
And they did.
RIP, Leonard Nimoy.

@WereBear:
Lol, I tried to watch that Rock Hudson series McMillan & Wife. He was supposed to be such a great actor and the show did like 7 seasons and it was on Netflix. Oh. My. God. I cannot even describe how unwatchable the first episode was. They find a body in a barrel which was some sort of absurdist humor, like some The Trouble With Harry shit. Not intentional, though. I think. I tapped out. It was that bad.
I think some of the better TV in the 60s were westerns, Gunsmoke, shows like that. The ones that were pitched to grownups.
Watched some Columbo from the 60s/70s on Netflix and it’s not too terrible but I would never watch it on my own.
Original series Star Trek is a 1/3 mix of great episodes, middling episodes, and utter crap. Nimoy’s in all of them so if you like to watch him do his thing there’s a lot to like.

@Roger Moore: He was also involved in Jewish life and kept ties in the community he was from and the NE corridor. He narrated a documentary about the Jewish community in Boston.
His old neighborhood, including his father’s business, his parents’ home I believe, and the theatre where he played his first role, was bulldozed as part of “urban renewal” and the land was given to a politically connected developer. In the 1970s the local paper caught up with his mother who was working at Lechmere (the original? one in Cambridge–it’s an appliance discounter). They asked Nimoy what he thought about what happened to West Boston and he seemed kind of shell shocked (he had lived in LA for decades at that point).
eta: his father had been a barber who ran his own business, there was a news item in the 60s where he shows off I believe Star Trek inspired “mod” cuts
Both Scollay Square, which had drag and burlesque houses often frequented by sailors (Boston was still a big port of call in the 1960s, definitely not today), and West Boston, where the burlesque dancers traditionally lived, were utterly obliterated under “urban renewal” and replaced with Gov’t Center and Charles River Apts. West Boston was a heavily Jewish and working class community. Very little physical remnants are left, I think there’s maybe a few rows of the old houses near where the Central Artery deck used to be but I’m not sure.

I miss Star Trek, so tired of all this dystopian science fiction. I don’t like the reboot all that much. I think Enterprise pretty much killed Star Trek as a TV show.

In the “Star Trek” pilot (pre-Kirk, for what it’s worth) Spock was much more emotional, with Nimoy sometimes shouting his lines. After that he dialed it down A LOT.
In an earlier thread I posted a Nimoy anecdote. (I heard it from friends who were actually there, so it’s not an urban myth.) Forgive me, but here it comes again: He loved Yale Strom’s documentary “The Last Klezmer” and agreed to do the voice-over for his next one, “Carpati: 50 miles, 50 years.” At the end of the taping Strom handed him a check. Nimoy handed it back, saying, “I had a wonderful time. Put this where it’s needed.”
NotMax
Have to drag out and watch Zombies of the Stratosphere now.
Always sneakily suspected that the portrayal of Spock was heavily, if partially, based upon Garbo in Ninotchka, at the least for the earliest episodes until Nimoy solidified the character, bringing his own innate charm and skill to the fore.

I took my grandchildren to see the 2009 Star Trek reboot, all five of them. About halfway through the scene with Nimoy I realized I had tears trickling down my cheek and it took me a little while to figure out why. Sitting there with my beloved descendants I didn’t and don’t believe we have a hopeful future ahead of us like the one in Star Trek, with a relatively benign Federation and an open, egalitarian society. I realized that I think my grandchildren will probably not have the same opportunity I had to thrive in an open and relatively free society albeit a less than perfect one in many ways. I think the future is more likely to be Bladerunner or Clockwork Orange or Snow Crash or Rollerball or Elysium or any number of other dystopian films and novels I have experienced. I now think the power of human greed and hate is just too strong as I watch what is happening in this country and in so many places around the world. I have lost hope.

Star Trek cast an eye on modern society that somehow managed to be critical, supportive, and affectionate all at the same time. As the one where the original crew went back to the 20th century and actually interacted with the society the show was critiquing, it’s probably the purest expression of that spirit.
@schrodinger’s cat:
And this, too. What I just said above is what gave Star Trek a leg up over lots of “social commentary” sci-fi which prefers to just show how current social trends will lead society to its doom (think “The Time Machine” by H. G. Wells). It criticizes society, but it embraces the notion that mankind can also do better.

To quote another science fiction franchise, McCoy was an A-hole, but he wasn’t 100% a dick.

McCoy was many things, but a teabagger was not one of them. He’d have been more at home on a hippie commune.
