No, Leonard Nimoy, who was born in 1931 in Boston, the son of Jewish-Orthodox Ukrainians had not pointed ears still slanted eyebrows, his blood was not green, and He also knew feelings. However, for generations, he was Mr. Spock, who was born in 2232 in Shi’Kahr on the planet Vulcan as a child of a human mother and a father volcanic. He was for 47 years, and he was so convincing that he, with a bit of resignation on his first autobiography, “I Am Not Spock” (1977) was followed by a second volume, “I Am Spock” (1995).
With most economical facial expressions, as a kind of alien Buster Keaton, Nimoy was the science officer on the Starship Enterprise, the strictly rational Second beside the emotion certain Captain Kirk, played by William Shatner, Nimoy made even more next American / Spock. Of course not only shines in “Star Trek V” when he sits with the other old Enterprise boys around the campfire and singing through that Spock can be sentimental very well, but he has just under control, analyzed the text of “Row , Row, Row Your Boat “and says that if others tremble and fear only:” Fascinating “Or, when he was suddenly confronted with earthly illogic:”.. I begin to understand “
If he was not Spock, Nimoy played other roles, such as the secret agent series “Mission: Impossible” the metamorphosis Paris, he directed in Star Trek episodes (z. B. “The Search for Spock “) and other films, and he sang on several albums, mostly American standards like” If I Had A Hammer “. 2014 Nimoy was known that he was suffering from chronic lung disease COPD, on Twitter, he wrote:” I I stopped smoking 30 years ago. Not soon enough. “Well, he died at the age of 83 years on it. His last tweet: “Life is like a garden. Perfect moments are possible, but they can not be kept except in memory “(APA / tk)

selling author Martin Suter can live well from the sale of his books.
The Swiss tabloid View report to him now, he let them additional support from the state, while those authors which would have the money necessary to “starve” would
The allegations are absurd -. the sheet staged a smear campaign against the writer who had once fought against the coverage of the View .
By Christopher Schmidt
If the Vita by Swiss author Martin Suter, 66, reread, a long list of book titles will be found, but no one mentioned literature prize. Because on promotion was Suter, the commercially successful German-language novelist, never required.
As of late appointed Suter at the age of fifty years published his first book, he already had a career in the advertising industry behind. The transition to the free existence as an artist he dared not until he was sure that he would be able to live from his writing, and life, life that is good at Suter – from which he has never made a secret. Spitzweg’s poor poet in the attic was not his role model from the beginning, he once told at a meeting.
“are all aware that we live in a bubble”
Unlike as not a few of his colleagues, which the promotion of literature allows sometimes amazing Para career without causing came out anything worth reading, and Martin Suter earns his money with the fact that many people read his books like.
And that is not only for him joyous, but for the entire industry. Because without a draft horse to cross-subsidize the less easy to sell authors can not survive literary publishing today. One should therefore be grateful Suter.
Just Suter’s latest novel is published. It is called “Monte Cristo” and is about a fictional Swiss bank that brings counterfeit money in circulation because she has speculated in a big way and I know that the state will not step in again after the recent banking crisis.
“Everyone is aware that we live in a bubble, so everyone is trying to be as gentle move, because no one wants the bubble bursts,” it says in “Monte Cristo”. As far as the writer Martin Suter, however, there is very probably an institution that wants the bubble bursts, and therefore move anything but gentle.
On the front page of its Wednesday edition claimed the Swiss tabloid View , the bestselling millionaire Suter let assisted with public money. “State aid for Star-author of” read the headline. Specifically, it’s about 140,000 francs subsidies that are supposedly benefited from Suter, “starve” while those authors who have the money needed would.
“State refined precious spring,” the catchy phrase. Now it would be good news if the Boulevard discovered his heart for starving artists. But that just makes a tabloid, a colleague of the writer’s guild his long runs criticized for acting bizarre.
The accusation is content anyway absurd, finally, the amounts have been mainly used for the promotion of translation, not a single franc Suter received for yourself how the newspaper suggests.
And the posting of authors read and perform abroad is one purpose of the promotion of literature. If a much sought-after and happy around gereichtes Edelweiss as Martin Suter represents the Swiss culture, then made more of it than the author himself.
military custody in pain
Quite obviously, it is in the smear campaign a cheap retort. Than six years ago Suter then suffocated three years adopted son of a sausage corner and the view from the tragedy struck sensationalist capital, the author defended.
Public Suter expressed his displeasure and spoke of “Grabplünderung”. Now the anger of the people to be goaded by just Suter, sets fine, distinguished gentleman, the greatest importance to its independence, defamed as subsidy parasites.
If success is a suspicion, would look the blade lock from the Ringier Group, the own shop first. In addition, we can only be grateful for any artist who needs no support. Martin Suter is a http://schema.org/.
just too irresistible to recognize tragedy, where perhaps none is , But what could be more tragic for an actor to be identified more than half a lifetime with only one character he has not really played so often. The television series Star Trek yes only lasted three seasons before it was discontinued due to failure by the US broadcaster NBC in 1969, there were 79 episodes in the end, all turned hastily and cheaply.
A really large audience reached the series in the US in the later second window on smaller channels, then they went around the world; ZDF about only began in 1972 with the airing of the first, orderly vice-cut English version of Star Trek . And it took a while again until 1979, the Star Trek went off -Kinofilmen with which it no longer seems to stop now because of too much success. Leonard Nimoy was seen in eight of the previous twelve films in his lifetime role. Spock, half-Vulcan, first, first and scientific officer of the Enterprise, later promoted to captain, including Ambassador
The title of Nimoy’s first autobiographical book I Am Not Spock (1975) seemed to suggest that he rejected the commitment to this role; and that he was his second autobiographical book I Am Spock named 20 years later, then looked as though he had eventually resigned to his fate actresses.
In fact, Nimoy wrote in the preface of his first book, he was very proud to be associated with the series: “I have the feeling that they deal with moral and philosophical questions in a way dealt hope of many of us that they would be part of our life reality. The series has given me definitely a hint of self-worth, and in particular the relationship with the character Mr. Spock was my always guide when trying dignified a person to be. “
Tragic? No, Spock’s favorite word fits better fascinating. A case of over-identification of an actor with a roll, if any. But Leonard Nimoy was indeed a trained in the method acting Actors. He had been leaning against the Stanislavsky method even self-taught, long before Spock anverwandelte to the beginning of the sixties, as a representative of his own mentor, Jeff Corey, whose most prominent disciple was there still have been James Dean (Jack Nicholson, Barbra Streisand and Jane Fonda about then also studied at Corey).
Nimoy, who was in 1931 came as the son of Orthodox Jewish, Ukrainian immigrants in Boston to the world, had at the time been a good decade lived in Los Angeles and made his way with supporting roles , Hollywood had not just been waiting for a guy who seemed to suck neither a hero nor villain really. Nimoy was like their birth to an outsider, and the outsider Illustrative seemed to him apparently to interest at Spock.
I Am Not Spock he described his formative childhood memories in the movies, Charles Laughton’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Boris Karloff as Frankenstein – and how these monstrous figures for a moment only salvation experienced by a gesture of affection, “the love relationship between a man and a stranger.”
Actor Leonard Nimoy is dead. He died after a long and chronic lung disease at 8:40 local time clock.
This published his granddaughter Dani in an obituary for Leonard’s Twitter page. She describes him as an extraordinary man, husband, grandfather, brother, actor and author. The list could continue indefinitely. Leonard Nimoy was 83 years old and died in Los Angeles. His breakthrough came in the mid-60s as Spock in “Star Trek”. Just so famous was doing his greeting with his hand in a V-shape “live long and prosper”. Nimoy was born in 1931 as a child of Ukrainian immigrants in Boston. His first role in 1951 in “Queen for a Day”. With the “Star Trek” series and the “Star Trek” movies, he became world famous. His last Tweet seems to have been a premonition: “Life is like a garden. You can have perfect moments, but not conserve, except in memory. Safe lives long and prosper. “Mr. Spock remains in our memories!
New York (APA / dpa) – His pointed ears and pulled up eyebrow made him world famous. Now, “Mr. Spock “dead. Leonard Nimoy, the actor of the half-Vulcan from” Star Trek “, died on Friday at the age of 83 years, as his agent, Deutsche Presse-Agentur confirmed. On the side of “Captain Kirk” and the rest of the “Enterprise” crew Nimoy wrote television history.
Trekkie fans, fellow actors and even the US President Barack Obama were dismayed at his death. “I have loved Spock,” Obama said, according Communication in Washington. In 2007 he had personally met Nimoy and of course received him with the Vulcan salute, in which a hand raised and the fingers separated only between the ring and middle fingers. His wife Michelle and he would Nimoy now sorely missed.
“I loved him like a brother,” wrote the “Captain Kirk” actor William Shatner (83) in the short message service Twitter. “We will all miss his sense of humor, love his talent and his ability.” “Leonard Nimoy was more than Mr. Spock. But Mr. Spock is his gift to us all, “praised Oscar winner Tom Hanks (58) his colleagues.
” My heart is broken. I love you very much my good friend and I will miss you every day, “wrote Zachary Quinto (37) on Instagram. He played Spock in the movies “Star Trek” (2009) and “Star Trek Into Darkness” (2013). Nimoy had in “Star Trek Into Darkness” his last little film appearance.
The cause of death of the actor was a serious lung disease undergoing hemodialysis, his wife Susan Bay Nimoy told the “New York Times”. In the previous year had Nimoy, who had long smoked, but stopped decades ago, announced that he was suffering from the so-called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). . This cause narrowing of the airways problems such as shortness of breath, cough and sputum
Nimoy himself had reported four days prior to the last time the public via Twitter for word: “Life is like a garden. Perfect moments are possible, but they can not be kept except in memory, “he wrote, ending the Twitter message as usual with the well-known greeting of” Mr. Spock “:” LLAP “-” Live long and prosper “in German variant as” live long and prosper “
Nimoy was born in 1931 in Boston, the son of Orthodox Jewish immigrants from the Ukraine.. Even as a child he began acting. He later starred in numerous films and television series, and also worked as a director, producer, and photographer. Became known but he remained in first place with a roller. Of the half-Vulcan “Mr.Spock” in the television series “Star Trek” and “Star Trek” movies
For a long time he did extremely reluctant, and called his first autobiography, even provocative: “I am not Spock.” Eventually, however, he found himself with it. “How many actors can say the same to be identified for decades with a particular role?” He later said. As Mr. Spock he coined unforgettable canvas sayings, including “Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end” and “If I were a man, my answer would be likely, Go to hell! ‘. If I were a man … “.
The US space agency NASA announced via Twitter manifest their grief”. So many of us at NASA inspired by Star Trek “The world has a” Hikaru Sulu had “played in the series on Facebook – big man Enterprise” lost Nimoy wrote “” colleague George Takei, who “. “We now give you the stars again, Leonard. You taught us “long and to live in peace,” and you’ve really done my friend. I will miss you in so many ways. “

A childhood in the ruins of post-war Cologne. The ARD two-parter “The Stairway to Heaven” shortens the horrors of the Nazi era in the good-evil scheme of a Gangster War
The ruins of Cologne replicate the years 1947/1948, was not easy: In an industrial site near Prague war ruins were rebuilt, made the transitions between the scenery and landscape digitally calculated as gently as possible – almost perfect. Only the Cologne Cathedral with whitish sky as a chimera from the simulation world seems a bit sallow
incomprehensible why those responsible for the ARD two-part The stairway to heaven -. Longing for tomorrow in casting, costume dramaturgy and did not proceed with similar meticulousness. Directed by Carlo Rola the dialect-resistant Degeto ensemble, no local color, no magic of a place, no peculiarities of the history of the clock rate of the guaranteeing euphony plays can bring. Who Kölsch and Koelle recites, and “sischer dat” and “delicious Mädsche” and “Prösterschen” is far advanced into the Catholic seducible heart of the Rhenish mentality.
The History of Stairway to Heaven based on the childhood memories of Peter Zingler, of a criminal escaped after many years of traveling through West German prisons by writing and more than 80 film and television screenplays wrote, He was famous for his Tatort -. and Schimanski stories
The Heavenly Ladder succumbs Zingler a Vertatortisierung the history. He transferred to the catastrophe of National Socialism in the good-evil scheme of a gangster war. In Cologne, the “zero hour” must be survived mainly because the law of the strongest, since we are in Little Chicago and not to the Court’s history. The good, the little people – they were not even looking away from Hitler’s helpers? – Stay with Zingler victim and being crushed if they do not organize. This small-Western ideology denies the boundless collective madness of the Nazi era. The polluted stream of history flows elsewhere.
We see how the Nazi Armin Zettler (Axel Prahl) draws its political threads and zoom throws to a Belgian occupation officer to get him downtown land for the construction of a headquarters. Previous owner be held on the table until they sign for the land register. Only when the noble John Whyte (Christiane Paul), whose plot takes Zettler, it does not aim. Their Jewish man Adam (Ernst Stötzner), a deckle speech writer, Zettler had brought to the camp.
The longer you watch the film, the clearer it becomes that there is a very private story is presented and there is no self-reflection on German guilt in the Rhenish environment.
Axel Prahl, who draws his political threads as incorrigible Nazi Zettler, and Christiane Paul as his decent opponent John Whyte, are smooth hiring mistakes. Prahl can only rowing behind panting with the arms of his villain role, the delight in falsehood missing his character, and can be Zettler seduce anyone. In Munster scene as the eternal Pauli fan he is in the right jersey. But when Uncle Bräsig from the fish head country he does not come across the Rhine.
Christiane Paul, the Berliner doctor’s daughter, also is not an everyday heroine through under the dome. Although the native Prussian operates according dutifully and with reasonable success linguistic cliffs of the dialect, but remains just as dauerumwölkte goddess of vengeance in mind. Rheinische joy of life of ordinary people, Catholic lightness, a tireless motherhood – that disappears in Pauls over cautious role in drawing foreign milieu terrain. A Cologne Cologne without Wat wells de maache

Fritz Raddatz is dead. He died at the age of 83 years. On Friday, the last book of the acclaimed authors and literary critic appears. In addition to his work as a journalist and critic Raddatz was honored as a writer, translator and opinion-strong publicist.
The writer and literary critic Fritz J. Raddatz is dead. He died Thursday at the age of 83 years, as the Rowohlt announced. In particular for his work with the “time”, for which he had worked until 1985 as a literary editor and later as a cultural correspondent, Raddatz was considered one of the most influential critic of German literature. Had
Raddatz his career in 1953 in the GDR started as a lecturer. In 1958 he moved to West Germany and was a few years later as the Rowohlt, where he discovered the likes of Elfriede Jelinek and Hubert Fichte.
In addition to his work as a journalist and critic Raddatz was a writer, translator and opinion-strong publicist honored. His autobiography “troublemakers” , in which he wrote of abuse in his family home and unsparing with himself and companions went to the court of heated debate. On February 27, his last book, shows “Prefer years with” about his work at the Rowohlt publishing house.
Hamburg. The controversial and eloquent columnist Fritz J. Raddatz died yesterday age of 83. By Lothar Schröder
He was unjust and besserwisserisch, vain and resentful, he was immensely well-read, educated, passionate and a great stylist. Thus, Fritz J. Raddatz had a lot of properties that can be conducive to a critic, and his fame. And he was famous and feared and actually almost as influential as Marcel Reich-Ranicki. Yesterday’s Raddatz – FJR, as he was called awesome in capital letters – died at the age of 83 years
Many enemies ‘, much honor’.. But who cares for such an environment, which should not happen one: a serious mistake. And this was undermined Raddatz, at that time, many years and of course the legendary features editor of “Time” on October 12, 1985. In an editorial in to nimbly executed to the book fair he incorporated only Snatches quote by Goethe. Accordingly, the prince of poets had written to the then Frankfurt Book Fair that they had begun “to change the area behind the station.” The trouble was: from a station could be no question in his lifetime his Goethe. Raddatz had been eating a parody
But you laughed not only about the critics. Now you sharpened the knife. The opportunity seemed favorable, the fervently hated dandy and finally get rid of troublemakers. In short, Fritz J. Raddatz was fair game. And so he lost his post about this error in the “time” -Feuilleton, which he had given a new political painting. Later he will grumble about why just met him clenched anger over a supposedly venial error: because he was “gay, Jewish-fast, too much and too often parading superiority”? One answer is to not give; but we can guess at least that his suspicions should not have been too far removed from the designs of his enemies.
The good years of his life could be thought of as a large masked ball, where champagne and caviar to the basic food belonged. Also, it is in his grandiose diaries from the years 1982 to 2001, 2002 to 2012 often obscene speech. FJR gave eloquent yard, it cost the envy of others about his “Pörschlein” from which later a Jaguar wich used due his love of Sylt.
Although everything belonged only to the surface of his intellectual life, not life is themselves who, however, was essential as a decorative accessory. Behind it was hard work hidden: his studies in Berlin, his habilitation with Hans Mayer, the editing work on “people and the world” in East Berlin, especially his nine years at the Rowohlt publishing house, for he discovered spruce, high Huth, Kempowski and Jelinek. Fritz J. Raddatz suffered the feuilleton and in culture and yet could not they do not exist: without Marion Dönhoff that “Inge Meysel of journalism” without Rudolf Augstein, the “nouveau riche Nobody” and the “now completely gray then Reich-Ranicki”.
to have been
Yet many attacks seemed merely sham fights and sometimes the pastime in a well shaded life. Of this he wrote in his diaries as well as in his story “cow’s eye” – as the father of the little Fritz pushes for sex with his stepmother. A Missbrauchstat, has “determined and destroys life” to be.
With age, he felt himself to be “out of date”. This included for Raddatz also that they began to call him an icon and even legend. Whether he’s still been happy? “My life was not happy wedding colors and happy..”
