Tag Archives: Leonard Nimoy

Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Star Trek biographer Marc Cushman on how Perry Mason creator Erle Stanley Gardner mentored a young Gene Roddenberry; how the Great Bird’s ambition and desire for excellence both helped and hurt him throughout his career; how Roddenberry was a visionary in television, long before Star Trek; and the vital role that Lucille Ball played in getting Star Trek off the ground. Volume One of THESE ARE THE VOYAGES, Marc’s comprehensive three-volume biography of the making of Star Trek: The Original Series, is now available as an expanded edition through Jacobs Brown Media Group with more than eighty pages of new information, including the final thoughts and observations of Leonard Nimoy before his passing in 2015. Volume One of THESE ARE THE VOYAGES is also now available as an audiobook
