One of the most wonderful, meaningful experiences of my career was playing Spock. The relationship I shared with Leonard Nimoy still has reverberations to this day. As a result of Leonard, I became very, very close with his wife Susan.
She plays a woman who suffers from a condition that causes her to experience hypersexuality. So she’s an 80-year-old nymphomaniac. She has such a great job.
She was an actress like 40 years ago. … I just know her so well, and I know where she is in her life. She is 81 years old. She is one of the most vibrant open, interesting people I’ve ever met.
