  3. 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.

  4. Surely this can't be true?

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

    RIP Leslie.

  8. 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.

  12. 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.

  15. 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.

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

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

  22. 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.
