How I Made Peace With My Dad LEONARD NIMOY

Leonard Nimoy knew how to soar in his career and, eventually, with his family. His son, Adam, remembers "flying around with him in his private plane," high above the mountains surrounding Lake Tahoe, where the beloved Star Trek actor had a summer home. "He was an excellent pilot," says Adam. "We would fly all over the place. Spending time with him in the mountains was fun."

It wasn't easy being Leonard's son, however, as Adam reveals in his new book, The Most Human: Reconciling With My Father, Leonard Nimoy. "My relationship with my dad, from the beginning, was very awkward," Adam tells Closer. "We were both addicts. My dad was an admitted alcoholic, and I was a pothead, which made things worse for us."
