Description

Join us on Tuesday, March 4, 2025 at 7:30 PM for an engaging and transformative evening for a conversation with Adam Nimoy, son of Leonard Nimoy, on his moving memoir about his relationship with his famous father, The Most Human.
In his memoir, The Most Human, Adam Nimoy details his life as the son of one of the most recognizable actors of our time. Nimoy, too, was caught between two worlds: there was the perceived perfect family of acclaimed actor Leonard Nimoy, and there was Nimoy’s own reality of a conflicted home life. While a similar memoir might be adver¬ised as a “tellall” about a public figure, Nimoy takes care to be as fair as possible to his father, the other important people in his life, and himself. He describes his childhood during the era of Star Trek, his career shifts, his experience starting his own family, and his recovery from addiction.
In the end, Leonard and Adam Nimoy were able to reconcile in their own ways: Nimoy learned to let go of resentment, and his father made an effort to support his son during a difficult and emotional time. Featuring Jewish themes and biblical allusions to the Akedah (Binding of Isaac) and Jonah and the Whale, The Most Human describes the ever changing nature of parent-childrelationships — both in and out of the spotlight. The book reminds us that our relationships are always going to be complicated, but that does not negate their significance in our lives. It reminds us that, though we might struggle to admit it, our parents are just as human as we are.
Adam Nimoy is a graduate of UC Berkeley and Loyola Law School. He left the practice of law to pursue a directing career in net¬work television. He direct¬ed the critically acclaimed film about his father For the Love of Spock.
