William Shatner is a cultural icon whose career has spanned seven decades, but in this Icons interview with Tyler Waye, he steps away from the captain’s chair to explore the raw, unfiltered reality of being human.
At 95 years old, Shatner offers a profound meditation on mortality, famously noting that "we are nothing but ruins in the making." He opens up about the "Overview Effect" he experienced in space—a journey he expected to be a celebration, but which felt more like a funeral as he witnessed the fragile beauty of Earth against the cold, dead vacuum of the cosmos. In this deeply moving conversation, we discuss the weight of regret, the sting of loss, and his controversial views on legacy, where he argues that while names are forgotten, "good deeds reverberate to the end of time."
