Leonard Simon Nimoy was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to Dora (Spinner) and Max Nimoy, who owned a barbershop. His parents were Ukrainian Jewish immigrants. Raised in a tenement and acting in community theaters since age eight, Nimoy did not make his Hollywood debut until he was 20, with a bit part in Queen for a Day (1951) and another as a ballplayer in the perennial Rhubarb (1951). After two years in the United States Army, he was still getting small, often uncredited parts, like an Army telex operator in Them! (1954). His part as Narab, a Martian finally friendly to Earth, in the closing scene in the corny Republic serial Zombies of the Stratosphere (1952), somewhat foreshadowed the role which would make him a household name: Mr. Spock, the half-human/half-Vulcan science officer on Star Trek (1966) one of television's all-time most successful series. His performance won him three Emmy nominations and launched his career as a writer and director, notably of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986), the story of a humpback whale rescue that proved the most successful of the Star Trek movies. Stage credits have included "Fiddler on the Roof", "Oliver", "Camelot" and "Equus". He has hosted the well-known television series In Search of... (1976) and Ancient Mysteries (1994), authored several volumes of poetry and guest-starred on two episodes of The Simpsons (1989). In the latter years of his career, he played Mustafa Mond in NBC's telling of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1998), voiced Sentinel Prime in the blockbuster Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011), and played Spock again in two new Star Trek films, Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013).
In January 2014, Nimoy revealed publicly that he had been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a condition he attributed to a smoking addiction he had quit about 30 years earlier.[112] On February 19, 2015, having been in and out of hospitals for several months, Nimoy was taken to UCLA Medical Center for chest pains.
On February 25, 2015, Nimoy fell into a coma, and died of complications from COPD at his home in Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, on the morning of February 27, at the age of 83. Adam Nimoy said that as his father came closer to death, "he mellowed out. He made his family a priority and his career became secondary." A few days before his death, Nimoy shared some of his poetry on Twitter: "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP". It was his final tweet.
He was buried at Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles on March 1, 2015. The service was attended by nearly 300 family members, friends, and former colleagues, including Zachary Quinto, Chris Pine, and J. J. Abrams. Though William Shatner could not attend, he was represented by his daughters. - Розваги
Great video as always!
I’ve never suggested or made a request for a video; but when and if the timing is right would you consider doing a video for Twitch? Hard to swallow that he committed suicide……sometimes you just never know what people’s reality is like in their mind.
I will one day. The crazy thing is it’s less than a minute from Phil Hartman’s house that I just covered. I got coffee right across the street from that motel. I was looking right at it , and now this. So bizarre. My heart goes out to his family .
He didi commit suicide. Nimoy died of COPD.
@@ricktaylor3748 I’m talking about Twitch the person; committed suicide
Excuse me / FU. COPD is no joke, And alot of people suffer from it ,
before they die of it.
The only thing, I can hold Nimoy against , was he blamed "smoking cigarettes" ,30 years before. LOL His words were still typical of the " PC" propaganda campaigns that have been going a long time.
That idiot , when he was dying, blamed cigateettes , which he quit, 30 years before.LOL
I much rather like him, when he was doing " In Search Of"
@@tinamaciell2666 yes that will definitely be a good video 🙏🎈
I could spend hours there, paying my respects and reliving my childhood. Thank you! Live long and prosper!
The music you used for this video was so peaceful to listen too.
Who doesn't love Leonard Nimoy, he's great.
definitely a man and character that will never be forgotten… nothing else to say!!
Wonderful actor.
May he continue to rest in eternal peace.
Star Trek (and Star Wars) were a staple in my household! Mr Spock did look pretty exotic, unlike anyone else and did all the cool science stuff with explanations. Any wonder we kids all turned out to be engineers? RIP to the legendary Leonard Nimoy. LLAP - live long and prosper!
Thank you so much for this, Scott. Spock is my favorite fictional character of all time and has had a deep influence on my life. Leonard passed about 2 months after my father died and it’s a double whammy I’ve never quite recovered from.
I’m very sorry for your loss . Stay strong.
My dad passed away about 4 years after Nimoy, but just the sight of Spock will bring me to tears. My dad emulated Spock as much as possible. God bless, fellow Trekkie!
"four pillows in the window" is gonna be a hit single! 🤘... RIP Leonard 🙏😔
I have been a life long Star Trek fan , it all started with that original show when I was maybe 3 or 4 years old. When Mr Nimoy died I decided to take my grief and turn it into something positive , as he was an artist , I felt the need to channel his passing into some kind of art , so i went home and pulled all my Star Trek stuff from storage , from the closet, from under the bed , from where ever I had put it ( some of this stuff I had not seen in 20 years or more. ) I stood looking at this pile of toys , magazines , cards , comic books , calendars , signed 8x10 I had collected over the years going to Star Trek conventions. ( and yes I had met Mr Nimoy multiple times over the years at those cons. ) I started cutting everything up, I made a pile of clipping , I started making a collage , after a few days it was done.. as a devotee of the Burning Man festival I knew exactly what I was going to do with it , I would take it to the temple burn at the 2015 Burning Man in Aug of that year , I hauled it out there , walked it out to temple early Monday morning , found a place for it , secured it to the temple wall , and there it sat till Sun night , then it burned as we all watched.. then in July of 2016 I see this trailer for a documentary called " For the Love of Spock " directed by Adam Nimoy, Leonard's son. I see my thing in the trailer burning , I had to stop and do a double take, I could not believe it , I was confused as to how it was there in the trailer , but very proud at the same time.. when the film came out I went to Beverly Hills to go see it , and was amazed at how it was presented in the film , it elevated the sentiment 100 fold that I was trying convaye by creating the collage in the first place .. originally it was just a thank you and a goodby to Mr Nimoy from me to him , in a creative positive way, and I had presented it to my fellow burners out at the burn, only thinking they would ever see it .. but now it has been immortalized and presented to the world , and hopefully anyone who sees the film , his family , friends, and fans feels they can say thank you and goodby as well.. .. .. ..
I love that guy. He was everything good about Hollywood and how to act when you're super famous.
Shame Shatner did him dirty right towards the end
@@laurarules3642 What did he do then, but u don't know the full story, maybe Leonard provocked him, look, i'm not saying William Shatner is a saint or something, but neither was Leonard ok, it takes two to tango, respectfully, don't act like Leonard was a saint or something.
Im like that wrestler from WWE: he tried to say something. But he says….. ………. ……. The he says Damn!!!
So I can say is:……… ………. ……..Damn!!!.
Outstanding! "Live long and prosper..."
Thank you Scott for the Video on Leonard Nimoy. He'll never be forgotten. And he'll always be Mr. Spock to all of us who love him, and miss him still 💙
I grew up watching Star Trek because of an older brother. I have always been a Spock fan and was devastated when he died of COPD. Which I also have. Live Long and Prosper Leonard Nimoy RIP. You almost got it Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
RIP Leonard Nimoy.
Greetings from Brazil.
Live Long And Prosper.
I luv star trek. 1 of my favourites. I luvd it when Spock and doc wore together there were funny. Another great actor gone shame great man. Thanks for the memory of Leonard nimoy. May he rest in PEACE 🕊️
from UK 🇬🇧👍👍
What a Beautiful grave for Spock...very nice. RIP Leonard. Great video Scott
Great actor who was so talented in many ways. He played Spock in the Star Trek TV show and movies. He also did the voice for Master Xehanort in some of the Kingdom hearts games. He is truly missed.
May the force be with you Mr. Spock 🖖 🙏 🕊
Aww ! My parents who have passed away would have loved this like I do!!❤
Scott I loved this one. I loved Leonard Nimoy. I love how knowledgeable you are about all the graves you visit.
Just started it and know that I am going to love it. Loved Leonard Nimoy and Star Trek! Thanks for the video!
SCOTT! you are the best brother,thank you....
I remember watching the very first episode of Star Trek on TV. It's 2022 and still hard to believe he's gone. Can I ask if he's cremated? That gravesite is so small.
Yes he was
I love the idea of having a spot someone can visit to reflect. It appeals to me more than the huge family plot where everyone gets buried.
It's crazy Leonard died from COPD from smoking cigarettes and he had quit for 30 years before he got COPD so it's kind of crazy how what you do when you're young catches up to you when you get old. Or could have been the warp core on the Starship Enterprise
Richard?
@@SCOTTONTAPE sorry I meant to say Leonard my bad I got fat texting fingers
@@SCOTTONTAPE there I edited it sorry my bad
lungs cannot be repaired once you start smoking for a long period of time it's it it gradually destroys the lungs so I'm not surprised
Christopher Allen • That is weird that u say that, cause it's fictional, how could he got sick then from a fake warp core.
Awesome timing! Have Rockstar, comfy chair… will enjoy. Thank u, Scott. I needed this one today. 😊
I loved watching the original Star Trek and In Search Of. Seemed like a humble man and loving.
This cemetery in Culver City is beyond gorgeous! The water features alone are stunning, but then to have memorial plaques attached to landscape stones & boulders along the water's edge - just wow. IMO beats the crap out of regular, run of the quarry mill 90° granite headstones. And you're right, Leonard Nimoy was a very loved and beloved man. I enjoyed him as Spock and as the narrator/producer of 'In Search Of ...' #LLAP 🖖
About time someone recognized a true visionary. The man who gave the world that song about Bilbo Baggins
I was trying to include that song ! Stupid copyright tho
"True visionary?" You mean THE MAN who wanted to burn the Shire and destroy EVERY copy of that song just like Lucas wanted to mindwipe everyone to forget the Star Wars Holiday Special (1978) ever happened!
I remember me and my friends greeting each other in his language and my fingers was hard to part 😆 🤣 😂
“In Search of” was his best work! Not a Trek fan at all but respect that work! I just loved his narration for the mystery of the Loch Ness Monster, DB Cooper, Bermuda Triangle…… in that old tv show (brings back such great memories)
My favorite episodes from that show was the Pompeii episode and the one about the Titanic before it was discovered.
@@aprillisa5950 you can still find them on UA-cam 😁
I loved that show so much!!!👍😁
Yep I was a Kid when In Search of came on,& one of the few shows that glued me to the TV then.
Yup. That was one of my favorite TV shows as a kid. My favorite episodes were about the Lincoln assassination, Jack the Ripper, and Jim Jones.
Spock was a very interesting character - one that will never be equalled - Kirk & Spock will always be the best Starfleet has to offer
Agreed even though the show only had three seasons and 6 movies some of the adventures Kirk and Spock got involved in haven't been matched. It's been several years since I rewatched TOS but every episode they seemed to be saving the entire universe or fighting god like entities . Every episode you felt the stakes were always super high.
@@laurarules3642 I've had the privilege to get aquatinted with Mr Shatner (Bill - to his friends he always says) thru horses - He has always been more than kind - and one of the funniest people to wear a pair of spurs -
Bill Shatner is also a very accomplished horseman -
everything related to a horse is his passion - Its an honor to have spent time with him -
PS - He was the guest on my favorite episode of "Gunsmoke"
Awesome job, Scott. Nimoy is more interesting as the person he is than the character he portrayed. So many talents. Actor, singer, director, writer, poet. His intellect and care carry over into so many facets of life. More than Spock....that's what I'd call a biography about him. Folks should check out some of his albums, especially the 3rd and 4th. Very interesting and subtle cover songs from the early 70s. I think he wrote some of those himself as well. Anyway - thanx for this Nimoy tribute. Great job as always. Until next time....Take Care, my friend.
I loved his acting may he always rest in peace. I had a small crush on him in my teens but I get small crushes on everyone and still do being married lol 😆 😅 😂.
This was a great episode Scott. The particular area of the cemetery where Mr. Nemoy is buried is very lovely, and so peaceful with the various waterfalls and fountains.
What an absolutely stunning grave location. You taught me something new today about him directing 3 Men & a Baby. Leonard Nimoy seemed like such a genuinely nice person. Glad to see he is still being remembered so fondly. Appreciate you filming the location and learning more about Mr. Nimoy. Take care.
Thank you for watching Nicky!!
Hi Scott 🙋🏽. Good Evening, I hope you had a awesome day ‼️ thanks for sharing this with me ‼️👍🏽😃.
What a beautiful spot. I've never seen a markers on stones like those by the water before. That's gorgeous.
Love all your videos and look forward to you posting new ones, I watch you for hours and I just love you thank you ❤️💙 from Glasgow, Scotland xxx
Thank you so much Kerry
rest in peace mr spock thanks for the great memories No matter how much suffering you went through, you never wanted to let go of those memories.” “The past beats inside me like a second heart.” “Humans, not places, make memories.
Growing up with spock on my tv he's like part of everyone's family. So glad you showed his beautiful home told a little about his life. And then his final resting place is so beautiful calming and relaxing. Love from Gill Holmfirth West Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧

This man is never forgotten.Tony
Hi Scott awesome video as always I absolutely injoy watching your videos you are the best Scott I hope you have a blessed holiday season.
Great video Scott you did an excellent job.
Great timing as always ,you the man !!
I remember the TV series In search of..as a little girl also he was on the Nickelodeon show in the mid 80s called Lights, Camera, Action. I watched a lot of TV as a child. I bet that you can ask me anything movie, Tv, and music trivia I know it all. So Scott I am up for the challenge. Good tribute to Mr. Nimoy.
I am so glad Nimoy kept it classy and was always respectful to the fans. I met him once and he was very kind. He was a class act and will be missed.
I love how respectful you are when you visit cemetaries.
Love this video. Thank you for sharing.
Good job, Scott.
Will never be forgotten
Scott I hope you and your channel live long and prosper🖖 also rest in peace Mr Spock
Scott this is a brilliant video. I have always been a Nimoy fan. Thank you ❤
You’re so welcome Tracy thank you for watching !
Thank you for another wonderful video. I have never seen water falls in a cemetery before. BEAUTIFUL.
Leonard Nimoy is loved and never forgotten, RIP sweet prince.
I loved his acting, and his art. I have one of his shirts with a photo he took. So sad I lost his autograph in a move. What a lovely man. Beautiful video Scott!✌️❤️
I was hardcore Trekkie for many years. Spock was my favorite character. I got to meet Leonard Nimoy, along with Gene Roddenberry and many of the other Star Trek actors as a teen at several Star Trek conventions I attended. I still have an autographed photo Of James Doohan. I loved Star Trek TNG as well. Data was my favorite character from that series. Brent Spiner's acting ability amazes me. He is hilarious! (I'm giving away my age here)
Mausoleums are too weird to me. Basically file cabinets for bodies.
Arguably the most IDIOTIC and IGNORANT thing I've EVER heard
I am dying of COPD like Mr Nimoy did but I am an avid Trekkie.Thank you for this.
I always was and always will be a fan of Leonard Nimoy.
Been to a lot of these graves. Beautiful cemetery. RIP to all.
I have so much respect and admiration for this person. Leonard Nimoy. You helped shape my outlook on the world.
He my favourite actor ❤️ WOW so beautiful graves place ❤️
We love you Scott. You cover only the best stories. Thank you for what you done for us through out the years with these amazing locations and stories and for being who you are. I still watch your old videos to this day 🙂
What a beautiful plot ..
What a Peaceful place to Rest. Thank you Scott for another Fabulous video🙏🏼💖
As a kid I grew up alongside the Star Trek series and I also was glued to the set when In Search Of was on , as Mr Nimoy was a fantastic Host and Narrator .
Wow what a beautiful cemetary and resting place. Thank you Scott for sharing this video. May Leonard rest in peace 💞
Another great vlog Scott! I still haven't been to Hillside cemetery. I'll be down in LA in the new year so I'll have to go and pay my respects in person. I've heard that Eydie Gorme is also there too.
I loved Spock! As a kid back in the 60's I got to go to Universal to see the set. I was sooo blown away!
We're you thinking of Harvey Weinstien, Scott? What a beautiful spot for Leonard Nimoy! Wishing you a Merry Christmas 🎅 Scott! x
No no. I wrote on the screen not THAT Weinstein.
Great video as always Scott!! I loved that cemetary. It was so huge. Yes I am still talking about the cemetery. Thank you my favourite tourist guide. You were so excited when we found Peggy Lipton.
Thank you for doing this video. Leonard Nimoy, as Spock, is the reason I developed an interest in science, especially astronomy, and my love for Vincent Van Gogh. I cried so much when he passed. 😢
Never seen a cemetery like that before, beautiful. Thank you.
Nimoy was underrated as an actor. He was good. He played Spock to near perfection.
Good video as usual Scott. A nice tribute to Leonard Nimoy.
Great video thanks for taking us along with you and for remembering this wonderful person!
