January, 16th 1985 was officially
declared "Leonard Nimoy Day" in Los Angeles.
You'll find Leonard Nimoy's star (it was the first star in 1985 on
Hollywood Boulevard) in the north-west corner of Cherokee Ave. and Hollywood
Boulevard. It has a movie-camera in it and the name "Leonard Nimoy".
Besides of press, fans and
by-standers, Leonard's family, his parents and most colleagues from Star Trek
were present. The President of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Bill Welsh,
honored Leonard not only for his talents but for his dedications for the local
community as well. He emphasizes that Leonard gets involved.
Leonard's list of credits was read by
the honorary mayor of Hollywood, Johnny Grant, who as well read numerous
well-wishing telegrams.
Leonard thanked all the people who have
been so supportive.

"...There is no way in the world that I could have hoped or possibly even
dreamed that a day like this would come in my life..." Smiling
he ended with the words: "I find myself in a rather illogical position. My star
is on the ground and my head in the stars."
