Surely, you can't be serious!
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Aw, that's upsetting.

What a talent. And he worked right up to the end, providing some of the only good moments in the new generation of spoof movies.

I wonder if they now will release that Alfred Hitchcock presents The Magic Shop? He played the father of a kid who discovered a secret magic shop and obtained powers. Scared the living poop out of me as a kid and it hasn't been released in the box set.

I had the extreme pleasure and fun of directing him and I can only tell you he was a constant delight and one of the nicest people on the forbidden planet. I saw him about a year and a half ago and we had fun reminiscing. He had a great life, one to be celebrated.

Yeah, I too had the pleasure of working with him and he was a great guy. I think he worked so much because people just liked being around him. He was a genuinely funny and genuinely sweet man. RIP.
Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!

Unfortunately, the success in comedy late in his career ruined him for serious roles. In the movie "Nuts", he played the abusive john that prostitute Barbra Streisand is accused of murdering. The sight of Leslie Nielsen in black silk jockeys, slapping arouind Babs, was just impossible to take seriously!

I met Leslie Nielsen at a friend's house in CA many years ago. He was a sweet, dear man...very down-to-earth...a regular guy. He stayed close to my friend and her family for many years. He came to her son's bar mitzvah. That's the kind of a man he was... I was saddened to learn of his passing. My deepest condolences to his family.

The Naked Gun: 33 1/3 just started on Comedy Central. I'm guessing it was hurried into their line up as a tribute, which I can't object to, though I wish it was 2 1/2 since that is my favorite of the trilogy.
