Leonard Nimoy’s widow, Susan, cast in an episode of Zachary Quinto’s “Brilliant Minds”
As a gamer who has spent countless hours immersed in the Star Trek universe, I must say that Susan Bay Nimoy’s journey from the 60s actress to the vibrant, open-minded woman she is today is nothing short of fascinating. Her return to acting after a long hiatus, especially in a role as intriguing as an 80-year-old woman with hypersexuality, is a testament to her resilience and adaptability.
In the 1960s, Susan Bay Nimoy, who is now Leonard Nimoy’s widow, embarked on her acting journey. However, she largely ceased acting after 1998, making a comeback only for two guest appearances in 2009 and 2018. Interestingly, Zachary Quinto, the actor who portrayed Spock in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek movie series, developed a close bond with the Nimoy family, particularly Susan, while he was playing Leonard Nimoy’s famous character. This connection led him to invite her to join his new show, “Brilliant Minds.
In the TV series “Brilliant Minds,” Quinto portrays a hospital neurologist who deals with unusual mental health cases. He desired to have Susan Nimoy appear as a guest on the show. In this role, she depicts an 80-year-old woman experiencing hypersexuality, and Quinto commends her performance by saying it was exceptional.
She was an actress like 40 years ago. … I just know her so well, and I know where she is in her life. She’s 81 years old. She’s one of the most vibrant open, curious people I’ve ever met.
As a passionate gamer, I recently had the privilege of contributing to Susan Nimoy’s latest venture – the transformation of an Art Deco theater in the heart of Los Angeles into a vibrant live performance venue. Renamed “The Nimoy,” this venue is a testament to the legacy of my beloved spouse. In the lobby of this beautifully restored theater, the iconic words “Live Long and Prosper” stand proudly, a nod to Star Trek fans everywhere who recognize these words as Spock’s famous phrase from The Original Series.
Beyond coming back to acting, Nimoy is now penning a solo play that recounts the tale of being a woman in her eighties, as reported by The New Yorker.
“It’s bawdy, it’s moving, it’s very truthful.”
On Mondays at 10 p.m. EST, “Brilliant Minds,” a show brought to you by Quinto, is broadcasted on NBC. If you miss it, you can always stream the latest episodes on NBC’s website or Peacock’s streaming platform.
