Leonard Nimoy, who created the emotionless and logic-loving Mr. Spock on Star Trek, has died of pulmonary disease. He was 83.
Half-human, pointy-eared and relentlessly sensible, Spock was the logical counterpoint to the driven and emotional Captain Kirk, played by William Shatner (above right, with Nimoy as Spock at left). Nimoy was so successful at bringing the character to life that he was identified with the role for the rest of his life.
