R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy Passes Away At Age 83
Very sad news to report as legendary actor Leonard Nimoy has passed away at age 83. His wife confirmed his passing, which took place this morning at his home in Bel Air, CA. Nimoy had been hospitalized just recently for health issues.
Nimoy was a poet, an artist, a musician, and an actor, perhaps most well known for his role as Spock in the Star Trek universe.
Fans of the dark and macabre also knew Nimoy as one of the hosts of the TV series In Search Of…, alongside Mitch Pileggi of The X-Files.
Nimoy’s last tweet seemed like the actor knew that he would pass soon, talking about the importance of remembering perfect moments.
We will miss you Mr. Nimoy. You lived long and you certainly prospered.
A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP
