RIP Leslie. I grew up watching you as Frank Drebin and just recently discovered your earlier work. Thank you for the laughs.

So sad. Naked Gun was one of my favorite franchises growing up. "I am serious. And don't call me 'Shirley'" is one of my all-time favorite quotes.

Seachica said...

Surely this can't be true?

Sadly it is. And we're not calling him Shirley.

RIP Leslie.

This does not make for a good start of the week. He was an all time classic in my mind. Even as Lucas Hollingsworth on the Golden Girls. So sad.

My favorite movie of his was Forbidden Planet from 1956.

These are some absolutely HILARIOUS clips from the show Police Squad, you'll see the similarities to (and inspiration for) Airplane! Leslie Neilson was a national treasure. RIP.

Must not have been a big time drug user. See, Lohan you could live to this ripe, old age. LOL.

RIP.

RIP Leslie! You were absolutely hilarious. Naked Gun series and Airplane are some of the funniest movies ever.

I loved Forbidden Planet, too. When I was in my teens (in the late 80s), I had a huge crush on the 1950s version of Leslie. May he rest in peace.

He was one of the great ones. I'm going to miss him a lot.

Ms Cool said...

He was awesome and I believe, pretty charitable, too.

My favorite Naked Gun scene is when he's eating pistachios.

Thanks for the laughs!

Hope they run some of his movies on TV. He was A list in my book.

MadLyb said...

I was just watching a clip of him the other day. Damn, I'm going to miss him.

RIP Mr Nielsen
Thank you for your body of work, and for allowing yourself to be convinced that you could do comedy and having faith that your fans could appreciate you for it.
And a thousand blessings on the head of the casting director who had that stroke of genius.
