Happy Birthday Leonard Nimoy

Today marks Leonard Nimoy's 78th birthday. Assuredly, there are other roles he has played bsides Mr. Spock, but.......well, we can't think of any. There was that western, but........yeah, I can't remember the title either.

A lot of celebrities are having birthdays today including Keira Knightley (24), Jennifer Grey (49), Martin Short (59), Diana Ross (65) and Alan Arkin (75).
