Leonard Nimoy: 'star Trek' Fans Can Be Scary
![One of the great things about my job is the opportunity it's given me to sit down for lengthy interviews with true icons of Hollywood, people such as Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty, Robert Redford and Harrison Ford. Now I can add Leonard Nimoy to that list. And yes, I would put his name right next to those aforementioned cinema heavyweights as far as dazzle quality because I grew up adoring "Star Trek" in its many permutations and admiring his performances in them without exception. A much shorter version of this interview (it's about 40% shorter, in fact) is running on the cover of the Los Angeles Times Calendar section tomorrow -- but if you've followed Nimoy's long and prosperous career as closely as I have, you'll want to read this more in-depth version.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2009-05/46872905-12135037.jpg "One of the great things about my job is the opportunity it's given me to sit down for lengthy interviews with true icons of Hollywood, people such as Clint Eastwood, Warren Beatty, Robert Redford and Harrison Ford.

The music, the antiwar movement, the drug culture and the social upheaval of the era became major benefactors of the first wave of saturation media coverage.
