jardann Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 That's sad news. I actually got to talk to him once at a convention and get his autograph. I have gone to a couple of conventions and he was the friendliest actor I ever encountered. Really a class act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurin Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Much like Reagan, however, it is a sort of blessing that he has been released and that his family can now say goodbye and begin the grieving process. Doohan had Alzheimer's Disease. And yes, he loathed Shatner. I believe most of the 2nd tier cast did. But they all laugh about it now. Anyone see that Futurama episode with the entire cast (except, sadly, Doohan who was incapacitated by his illness)? H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander McBride Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Well, Nimoy always hated him, too. As for Doohan and Kelly, we saw them a couple times when we lived across from Shatner, so things couldn't be too bad between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uminoken Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Truer words were never said Pat Payne.... I met him once at a Blockbuster signing and my grandpa shared a hospital room with him....said he was one of the nicest men he's known. Sad day indeed.

HWR MKII Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I was hoping he would have at least outlived shatner. First DeForest and now James. Who next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurin Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I read Shatner's autobio a long time ago. My undestanding is that Nimoy and him actually got along quite well (not just based on Shatner's bio). But Nimoy also understood the grumblings of the 2nd tier. They all seem to get along quite well now, though I don't think Doohan acutally ever actually buried the hatchet with him before his illness. It's interesting that he visited Shatner at his house a few times. Anyways, can we keep the petty crap out of this thread? I realize nobody reads it but us. . . but it's pretty tacky to bring the standard MW squabbles into this thread. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
