Sandra Zober (born Sonia Zoberblatt,[1] also known as Sandi Nimoy; December 16, 1927 – April 2, 2011)[2] was an actress.[3] She was the first wife of actor Leonard Nimoy.
Biography[edit]
Zober married Nimoy in 1954 while he was serving in the United States Army Special Services Detachment as a performer for fellow soldiers at Fort McPherson.[4] The couple had two children, Julie (b. 1955) and Adam (b. 1956).[5] While raising their family, Sandra and Leonard observed Jewish holidays, but not the other aspects of Judaism.[6] After 32 years of marriage, Leonard left Sandra on her 56th birthday and divorced her in 1987. He married his second wife, Susan, in 1988.[7]
In 1988, Sandra said, "I spent the first 15 years being the only one who believed in [Leonard] and struggling with him. I believe I had a lot to do with where he is now."[8] She eventually joined a support group for women divorced from Hollywood stars that was initially called Life After Divorce Is Eventually Sane (LADIES), but was soon renamed the Hollywood Dumpettes.[9] Throughout their marriage, Sandra and Leonard lived in a house in Westwood, Los Angeles, and Zober continued to live in this house after the divorce until her death at age 83.[10]
