Bonnie Laney Interview With Leonard Nimoy - 6/7/1967 - part 5
BL: Why did you want to become an actor?
LN: (Smiling) The briefest answer and the answer that comes most to the point, I think, is simply that I wanted to express myself and I felt that this is the way I could do it, through other characters. And through other people’s writing. That’s about it, really. (At this point LN’s secretary informed him it was time for him to leave.)
After Leonard Nimoy left, I talked briefly with Miss Victor, his secretary, and she offered to assist me with any questions I might have left. I asked her about his fan mail, roughly what he received weekly. She said it was impossible to estimate, that it was numerous and that the count was growing steadily. Also, I asked her if she knew what he held most dear to him, aside from his family, career, health, and so forth. She replied that that was it, that was him, that was what he held dear, and that he also enjoyed fishing and sailing. Then she gave me the following dates of future appearances: June 10, Portland, Oregon, Grand Marshall of Rose Festival; June 18, Rocky Point Park, Warwick, Rhode Island; June 21, Pat Boone Show; Dateline: Hollywood, no date (aired July 4!).

Bonnie Laney Interview With Leonard Nimoy - 6/7/1967 - part 4
BL: I suppose you have a personal favourite from your album. What is it? (LN’s secretary comes in to ask him something.)
LN: Oh, in the album! Well, I am partial to two or three of the pieces. But, I guess the one that I think most expresses my feelings about Mr. Spock… in a way… is THE ALIEN. Because it describes his condition in a dramatic way.
BL: How soon can we look forward to your next album?
LN: Well, I don’t know. There’s some talk about recording some new material. I’m going back east in about two weeks, or less. In about eight or nine days. And there is some material that some people back there have been putting together. In fact, the same people who produced the first album have got some more material. (His secretary reminds him only a few minutes more.) So, if it works out, if I can squeeze it in, I may do some recording on that trip. In fact, that’s a week from this Saturday that I’ll be going. If not, I would hope that I’ll be able to get some more stuff recorded within the next three or four weeks. And I’m not sure we’ll be doing albums right away, but we may be doing some singles and then possibly another album in another two or three months.
BL: We’re all looking forward to it.
LN: Yeah, so am I. (Laughs) I’ts fun; I enjoy recording.
BL: Aside from being a great actor, do you have any other ambition?
LN: Well, my ambitions all fall in the theatrical area, by theatrical, I mean including films and television. I would like very much some day to direct motion pictures. And I hope I’ll have an opportunity to do that. Right now, I’m just too busy being an actor to even consider it.
BL: I understand you have attended a LOVE IN.
LN: Yes, I did.
BL: What did you think of the people involved and the whole idea in general?
LN: Well, what I saw was very satisfying. I thought the idea was marvelous. Now, sometimes between the idea and the actual happening, things don’t always work out the way you like to see them work out. I thought the idea was very good. I went out of curiosity, some friends were going and we decided to go with them… I took my whole family. And what I saw was an awful lot of very nice people having a very good time. Like a big fat picnic. Thousands of people like that gathering just for the idea of spending an afternoon together… And talking and eating and listening to music. It was a very comfortable experience. I enjoyed it.
BL: I’ll have to go to one soon!
LN: (Laughs)
BL: I understand that you also appeared on the stage.
LN: Well, I’ve done some stage work.
BL: In IRMA LA DOUCE with Juliet Prouse.
LN: Yeah, that’s right. At the Valley Music Theater.
BL: Do you prefer working before a live audience or camera?
LN: I like them both. I don’t really have a preference. The live audience is a very exciting thing and I love it, as a change. But, there are things that you can do on a sound stage in front of a camera that you cannot accomplish on a stage. Because on a sound stage working for film specifically, you’ve got a camera close and you’ve got a microphone close and you can play… you can do very personal things, very small subtle things you can’t do on a stage. So, I enjoy them both. They both offer something very special that I like.
BL: Do you film STAR TREK on another location besides the studio here?
LN: Most of it is done here. Occasionally we go out. We shot some material at Valesquez [sic!] Rocks. We did some shooting at TRV, I think it was. Down in Redondo Beach, last year. We do go out occasionally to use a building, or to use some exterior locations. But most of it is done here at the studio.

Bonnie Laney Interview With Leonard Nimoy - 6/7/1967 - part 3
BL: Yeah, I think that about covers it!
LN: (Laughing) Okay.
BL: Do you think your success has in any way contributed to making you yourself a better person?
LN: I hope so. (Laughing)
BL: How? (Laughing also)
LN: I hope so… Well, with success of the kind that I had, there’s a lot of responsibilities. And, I would hope that I am learning things about handling those responsibilities in dealing with other people. Dealing with the fans specifically. Which is a very important area… you know… very important. Always has been important to me. And particularly now, since there are so many of them. It’s impossible for me to keep in touch with each and everyone the way I would like to. It’s impossible for me to deal with all of them personally. But, I do try, by doing interviews such as the one I’m doing right at this moment… and by doing as many interviews as I can to stay in touch with them… to let them know what my thoughts and feelings are…
BL: There are a lot who wouldn’t bother.
LN: Well, that may be true. My feeling is that these are people who sincerely care and are sincerely interested. And I have to respond to that, I have to care about that… So, you know, these are things that you have to deal with in the position that I’m in… and I’m trying very hard to deal with them intelligently.
BL: What kind of character or role to you dream of someday playing?
LN: (Laughs) Well…
BL: Do you have anything special in mind?
LN: No, not really. But I think that for any actor there’s a tendency when you’re involved for any length of time in a particular kind of role… as much as you enjoy playing it… your thoughts about the next role probably are you would like to do something entirely different, you see. So, at the moment, the chances are I would be most mutable to the idea of doing a musical comedy, for example. A complete change of pace. Just out and out fun. Music, dancing, singing… you know, just having a ball. Because this is… what I’m doing now is essentially a straight dramatic thing. Now, having done that, I would probably want to go back to some kind of dramatic thing. Maybe something very serious. It’s just a question of change and that’s one of the things that’s interesting about being an actor… is that you get an opportunity to change that way.
BL: Have you had any unusual experiences as a result of your make-up?
LN: I did have one funny thing that happened before the show had gone on the air. We were shooting the show last summer and the show was going to go on the air in September. And nobody knew who Mr. Spock was except the people on the show, of course. Well, I had to go to the dentist, and I went up on Sunset Blvd. to the dentist’s office… and the people in the garage that parked my car and the dentist’s secretary and the dentist, who I had never seen before… none of them I’d never ever seen before!… acted as if there was nothing strange about a man walking in with pointed ears and wearing this… this spaceman’s outfit… And arched eyebrows! I thought that was very funny, you know. It seems they were responding in a way that they didn’t want to embarrass me. They didn’t want to make me feel as though there was something strange or unusual about me (laughs). So, they were really being kind. But I thought that was pretty funny.
BL: Are there any surprises in store for us on STAR TREK the season?
LN: Well, if I tell you, it won’t be a surprise! Will it? (Laughing)
BL: Anything you can let us in on?
LN: Were going to take a trip to Vulcan. We’re going to meet some other Vulcan people and specifically a Vulcan girl out of Spock’s past. Which I think will be interesting to Spock fans.
BL: Yeah!
LN: Yeah, it’ll be one of the early shows of the season, I believe.

Bonnie Laney interviews Leonard Nimoy!
An active LNNAFer, Bonnie Laney visited the office of Leonard Nimoy at Desilu on 7 June 1967 (1:00 P.M.) and conducted the following interview with him:
BL: For a starter I asked LN to give us a brief run-down on an average work day of his.
LN: An average work day is getting up at five-thirty in the morning and drinking two or three cups of coffee and showering and shaving and dressing and… I leave the house… Oh, around six-ten… (LN’s scy. entered to tell him something). So, I get off to the studio around … I leave the house at around six or six-ten. I get to the studio around six-thirty… And I sit down and we start the make-up… And then…
BL: How long does it take for the make-up?
LN: Makeup takes till eight o’clock… And I’m ready at eight, and I start working. I get through usually around six-thirty, six-forty-five, get cleaned up and… if I don’t have any business to take care of, I leave the studio immediately… and I get home… I leave the studio by seven-fifteen or so. I get home at seven-forty-five, eat… and maybe watch some late news… if I get home in time. And spend as much time with the kids as I can and study some dialogue and get into bed. (At which point we were interrupted by his telephone ringing.) Now, I try to get to bed on work nights by nine-thirty, and… try to get to sleep by nine-thirty, I do have to be up at five-thirty in the morning. I try to get eight hours sleep. Well, that’s what an average work day is like!
BL: Many actors fear getting involved in a television series. They are afraid they may lose their own identity to the character they portray. How do you feel about this?
LN: Well, I haven’t been in the series long enough to a… to know whether or not that’s going to create a problem. I consider myself very fortunate to be working steadily as an actor. Steady work for an actor is a very unusual thing. I think you can… you can count the actors who work steady in this business. And there are countless who don’t… you know… so, I consider myself fortunate in that respect. And I’ll concern myself with the problems as they arise. I try to avoid anticipating problems because there are enough of them that are going to come up when the time comes… You know, and if you are going to start worrying about the ones that might come up besides, why then you can really get yourself in a sweat, you know. So I try to avoid that… I’m not particularly concerned about the character taking over Leonard Nimoy… I think I have to be the one who’s in charge and it kind of has to stay that way and it’s an interesting character. I enjoy playing him and I hope it lasts for awhile.
BL: So do we!
LN: (smiles) Yeah!
