Leonard Nimoy Passes Away: 2/21/15

Today, Leonard Nimoy died at the age of 83.

Nimoy starred in many different films. His most famous role was that of Spock in the original Star Trek movies.

The first Star Trek movie was created in 1979. It was almost an instant hit, spawning a T.V. show a few years after. Nimoy played his character Spock up until the most recent incarnation of the franchise, where he played Spock's father.

Nimoy was also nominated for four Emmys and has won many minor awards.

In 2003, he started the Nimoy foundation. The Nimoy foundation was created to encourage, recognise, and support the work of artists everywhere. It gives out art scholarships annually.

Nimoy will be missed by all of his fans and family, but he will always be there in spirit to help them Live Long and Prosper.
