Fascinating: The Life of Leonard Nimoy by Edel Rodriguez, Richard Michelson

5.0

Beautiful picture book tribute to the life of actor Leonard Nimoy, famous for portraying "Spock" on Star Trek. Focuses on his childhood and early acing roles through to gaining the Spock role. Last two pages are a nice summary of the rest of his accomplishments post-Spock. The author was a close friend of Nimoy's, his gallerist for his photograph exhibits, so while no book or online sources are given for the book, it's obvious it is all reliable information as he was able to have Nimoy read a draft of it before he passed away. I had forgotten the origin story of Nimoy's "live long and prosper" v-shaped finger Vulcan sign, that it was a Jewish blessing from his Jewish roots. The book really brought tears to my eyes with this quote: (by using that symbol) "He blessed the actors he worked with, and he blessed the audience, and he blessed everyone all over the universe."
