Here is the first half of the scans from Nimoy's second autobiography I Am Spock. I have to say I enjoyed this one a lot more because he gets more in depth with the Spock character and we get to learn more about his directing career. These pictures and captions do not belong to me, they belong to their respective owners.

Kid Monk Baroni :D
I recently purchased from e-bay.com a copy of Kid Monk Baroni, Leonard Nimoy's first movie debut. I thought he did very well for his first performance on the big screen and only being 17 years old. So in honor of Leonard and his first movie I have made some screen captures of little Lenny, enjoy!
