Hollywood icon William Shatner sits down with Larry King on the multi-Emmy nominated series “Larry King Now,” where he reflects on the success of "Star Trek," 50 years after its television debut, his friendship with the late and great Leonard Nimoy, and facing his own mortality. Plus, the original Captain Kirk discusses his charity, benefitting children and veterans.
The original Captain Kirk, William Shatner, opens up to Larry King about his friendship with his “Star Trek" co-star, Leonard Nimoy, and why they drifted apart before Nimoy recently passed away. He explains, “At the very end, something happened and I don’t know what it is. I have no idea. I don’t know what it is, but he stopped talking to me. I’d like to ascribe it to the fact that his illness got worse and worse so gradually but I don’t know. So my vision of it is I ignored that and maintained my love for him, which I had for many years.” (Clip link below)
