I take your point about Nimoy's singing, but how is he not a celebrity? ;-)
I think you've hit the nail on the head, Cotty (did I actually say
that Cotty made a salient point? <g>)
In fact, what he is, is a "professional celebrity". He's got not
discernable talent, but he's famous for who he is (or "was" - he's
dead, no?).
Kind of reminds me of Zsa-Zsa Gabor. I could never figure out what
she did to be famous. A couple of really bad B movies? Married a
celebrity or four? Is that enough to make her famous? Well, maybe,
but the fact is she became a professional celebrity. Game shows, talk
shows, in the tabloids; not for talent or accomplishments, just for
~who~ she is.
I think guys like Nimoy, while not as extreme as Zsa-Zsa, come close
to that category. I mean, riding on the coat-tails of a mediocre 40
year old sci-fi tv show that lasted, what, a 3 seasons? <g,d&r>
cheers,
