Autograph manuscript signed "William Shatner," one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, no date. Handwritten tribute to Leonard Nimoy's acting skill in his portrayal of Star Trek's Spock. In part: "Somehow Spock and Kirk were fighting and I was using my boxing and judo activities in dealing blows and subduing the enemies. At one point Leonard said, 'Spock wouldn't be fighting,' and the director said, 'What do you suggest,' and Leonard said, 'Well he'd do something like this,' and he reached over and grabbed my shoulder and playing along I pretended to fall to the ground as immobile—I got up and we all laughed and Leonard had invented the Spock pinch—It was brilliant—He knew his character, he understood the philosophy by which Spock lived and flawlessly used it to invent a moment of action that was totally motivated by character…I don't remember how live long and prosper was invented. I think it was a product of one of our writers but it was no doubt an inspiration given by the uniqueness of Leonard's portrayal." In very fine condition.
