Shatner reflects on a moment from the past, as the letter is undated, it may be reflection coming to mind upon understanding the circumstances revolving around Leonard Nimoy's current health once diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Shatner writes about a single moment in a company limousine during the era when it was sexy to smoke cigarettes but the consensus tide was slowly turning. Particularly poignant given the circumstance revolving around Nimoy's death. Shown in full below:Essay reads: "We were all gathered in a company limousine I don't remember who else was there but I remember Leonard, and maybe three other actors and myself - As usual in these times everybody was smoking - that's what you did - the movies of the time had smoking as so romantic - you'd have two cigarettes in your mouth and light one for her and one for yourself and then with great meaning pass one of these cigs to her and look meaningfully into her eyes. So all the actors in the car where talking animated and smoking furiously. At the top of the list was Leonard then somebody said they were going to give up smoking cause it interfered with their breathing- Another actor said with great emphasis he was giving up smoking because he hated being addicted he wasn't going to be dictated to- I said I was giving it up because my kids turned their heads when I went to kiss them - Leonard sat silently by and had stopped talking, his head turned toward the window- silently puffing."Press Pass Collectibles only offers Authentic Autographs by William Shatner through Signings, In-Person Signings or Private Collections to include a 100% money back Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee.
