“We’re very pleased to be broadcasting Remembering Leonard Nimoy beginning in May 2017,” said Ron Bachman, Senior Director of Programming at WGBH.

It features stories from his childhood growing up in Boston, his early career in Hollywood, his big break-out role on the Star Trek series, highlights from his remarkable career, [and] the remaining years of his life battling chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
“Remembering Leonard Nimoy features interviews with Leonard’s closest family members including his children, Julie and Adam, his wife, Susan, step-son, Aaron and his six grandchildren [all] sharing poignant stories and special memories.
