Star Trek’s next generation remembers Leonard Nimoy

Leonard Nimoy, the ever-logical Mr. Spock in "Star Trek'' on TV and the big screen, died this morning at his Bel-Air home. He was 83. Nimoy had been suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis and emphysema. Nimoy revealed last year he was ill and blamed years of smoking. He was hospitalized last week. Today on AirTalk, we remember Leonard Nimoy.
