Leonard Nimoy on "What's My Line?"

[@jillibeens57]

Spock, my favorite character of all time. Leonard could read the phone book and I'd listen intently. I loved his voice.

Nimoy smiling/laughing always makes me smile. Such a wonderful, sweet person. He will be very missed, but I do my best to be happy as he accomplished a great deal while we were fortunate enough to have him :)

[@crappyvideospotter2]

"He's an attractive young man." Why was Leonard shaking his head no at that? He is so hot! That smile just makes me so happy! I have to fave this just to watch him smile so much! :D :D :D Thanks so much for posting! :) :) :)

[@RevanJJ]

Mr Nimoy was huge even before Star Trek, then went on to great things like In Search Of & then the Star Trek movies and so much more. Watched For The Love Of Spock by his son and wow what an amazing life he lead.

[@mikesaunders4775]

A great actor with a keen intellect, unforgettable as Spock, but so much more.

[@pikemeredith5604]

He was very handsome when he wasn't Spock because Spock really didn't smile. He is certainly one of those guests out of this world. RIP Leonard.

[@Hodaris_Darlin]

What are you talking about? He was handsome, period. In fact as Spock, he was downright sexy & Spock did in fact smile, it's just that most of his smiles were very subtle.

[@lisacassar7040]

"Science fiction writers are the dreamers of our future's reality." Thanks for that, Mr. Nimoy. BTW, ordinarily I do not care for 1970's fashions but I must say the Leonard Nimoy certainly was well dressed.

[@dreamlink4u253]

His real voice would give it away.

[@kokoken1]

Which is why mystery guests on "WML" going back to the '50s always disguised their voices.

[@anndownsouth5070]

When he laughed and when he were surprised I thought that might have given it away.

Mr. Nimoy is correct about science fiction becoming science fact. I recall reading about a person who was watching the very early series of Star Trek. He said transporters, small plastic storage disks and futuristic medical devices may be in the future but automatic sliding doors will never happen.😀😀😀😀

This newer version of the show was awful, when it comes to the mystery guest. They weren't given enough time to guess who the guest was. It had no flow to it, like the original did.

[@lisanidog8178]

What a nice man he was. I was a real Spock fan in junior high after I first saw the show in 1972. Everyone gave me Spock as a nickname too. 🖖

[@soulierinvestments]

The most bracing thing about watching WML today is its good manners on TV, compared to the sorts of rudeness we see on The Tube nowadays. It is unusual to see a woman stand up for a man at the hand shake portion of the sequence, but maybe Dana Valery (whose spirituality was and is well known) was also a Trekkie. Yes, Bert Park did TV other than Miss America. What a voice. Thanks for posting.

It's great to see Leonard Nimoy out of his Spock ears and in casual conversation back when he still looked like Spock. Most Gen-Xers like me are only accustomed to seeing him without the Spock ears as an old man.

[@upsetterz]

i love you man, leonard

[@RonJDuncan]

What was great for Leonard Nimoy is that he really did get to see all the technology develop that really was sci-fi back then. At that time, all digital media was future tech. VHS/DVD/blue rays, GPS, smart phones, bluetooth, touch screen devices, all the way to tablets like the ipad. None of that existed yet at the time the show was aired. Satellite TV was just budding, personal computers were barely around (and unrecognizable by today's standards) and the cell phone had just barely been invented, and certainly weren't available for purchase. All the things we use today and take for granted were things he got to see come about first hand.

[@stephenwright8824]

That could be said for anyone born the same year as he was. Point disproven, case dismissed.

[@RonJDuncan]

​@@stephenwright8824 Not all people have the same vision or expectations of the future based on the year they were born. You can't "dismiss a case" based on such faulty logic. Not everyone is an Arthur C. Clarke or a Leonard Nimoy. It's not just that people "born that year" experience that. This wasn't my point at all, and if you took it this way, you missed the point, badly. In this clip, Nimoy had an expectation and a vision of what the future would bring. Clarke's predictions in 1964 were even more impressive by his predictions and more accurate about what technology would bring. Few people are visionaries, no matter the age, which is why such people stand out. Simplifying it as "born the same year" is a strawman. You dismissed a point I didn't make, so you dismissed nothing. You tried.

[@stuartswan54]

I remember seeing Nimoy play a heavy in an episode of "Sea Hunt". As I remember I think he was uncredited. He's had a long career.

He was right about the SF writers dreaming our future reality. 2 of my previous phones were flip phones, much like the Star Trek communicators, but we're able to do even more stuff. Now I have a smart phone, which does even more. I am always amazed when SF stuff enters the real world.

[@GlamRockCowboy]

It's unfortunate that it was announced a few weeks ago that Mr. Nimoy has been diagnosed with COPD--Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease--due largely to his many years of cigarette smoking. He gave up the habit some years ago, but by that time, the damage had been done. (My father smoked for over 20 years, then gave it up on the advice of his doctor. Ten years later, he died from esophageal cancer, a direct result of his smoking. I know because I was his primary caregiver during his final illness. I've discussed it with the rest of my family, and they all agree with me that, by the time he gave up this filthy habit, the damage had already been done.)

Dana Valeri, Sergio Franchi's sister. Back then, about the only thing you could turn on and NOT get either of them was the water. She always seemed to take a back seat to him, which was too bad. Beautiful and very talented, who did a Tony-nominated turn on Broadway in 1965's "Wait a Minim!" It's interesting to note that Leonard Nimoy's first volume of autobiography, published at around this time, was "I Am Not Spock.," which would seem to be underscored by some of his comments here.
