I Married One of Leonard Nimoy's Secret Selves!

Lisa, by Nimoy
Turns out I am now married to a celebrity.

Leonard Nimoy photographed Lisa in late 2008 (and talks about her here), to reveal her 'true identity' in his Secret Selves project, opening at Mass MoCA on Sunday, August 1 (Members' preview reception today). At Leonard's stunning Full Body Project exhibit at Michelson Gallery, I asked him about the reaction he'd gotten - mine having grown intensely positive. "Men - nearly universally - are first curious and then deeply intrigued and moved. Women are universally terrified!"

You remember Leonard Nimoy, don't you? He wore those funny ears... when he performed on Broadway in Equus!

Leonard Nimoy! Who could forget him! He was on Mission Impossible.

Indeed! Martina Landau, who had turned down the role of Spock on Star Trek, ultimately left Mission Impossible over a salary dispute and was replaced on the IMF by Nimoy (as "Paris"), fresh from completion of the Trek series.
