About this Event
In The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father Leonard Nimoy, Adam Nimoy explores his complicated and often tumultuous relationship with his father, Leonard, the iconic half-Vulcan science officer he portrayed on Star Trek. Despite their differences, father and son travelled parallel paths from divorce, to addiction, and finally to recovery. More importantly, Adam Nimoy shares how he and his father reconciled with the help of AA meetings and over Shabbat dinners. George Takei says, “The fact that Leonard and Adam found a way to rebuild their relationship should resonate with anyone who struggles with difficult family dynamics.”
