William Shatner says he 'will die wondering' why his Star Trek co-star Leonard Nimoy stopped speaking to him

Shatner apparently lost out on his co-star Nimoy's friendship after he filmed Nimoy without permission for a documentary he was making about the captains of the Starship Enterprise
PUBLISHED SEP 4, 2018

William Shatner is still scratching his head over what he could have done to get completely isolated by his 'Star Trek' co-star Leonard Nimoy. In a new memoir from the actor, he opened up about some extremely painful moments from his life, which also included a false cancer diagnosis and his immense heartbreak over his friendship suddenly ending with his Star Trek co-star who played Spock.

The 87-year-old said in his memoir that he will always be left wondering, up until the day he kisses the world goodbye, about the events that led to the feud with his best friend just before his passing in February 2015 aged 83. Shatner, who played Captain James T. Kirk in the franchise, detailed all of his regrets regarding his and Nimoy's alleged feud in his new book titled, 'Live Long and… What I Learned Along the Way'.
