LEONARD NIMOY – PULMONARY DISEASE

Many movie franchises have their fan-favorite character. For the Star Trek saga, it’s Mr. Spock. While many actors have played the said character, no one is more recognized for the role than Leonard Nimoy. Aside from a prolific acting career, Nimoy was also a renowned director, author, singer, and photographer. Nimoy’s talents were recognized when he was nominated for four Primetime Emmy Awards and when he became a renowned author of seven poetry books.

Not only is he a great actor and writer, but also a successful photographer. In fact, Nimoy’s works were displayed and bid in numerous museums. Regrettably, the iconic actor was diagnosed with a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease that was caused by years of smoking. He received treatment for the illness but passed away in 2015 due to complications from it. Prior to his death, Nimoy was expected to have received the best treatment thanks to his excellent credit score and net worth of $45 million.
