MindCrime Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 How sad, he was very funny in Airplane and the first 2 Naked Guns. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 My first - and fondest - rememberance of him was not as a comedic actor, but as the dashing "Swamp Fox" on the Disney series about Revolutionary War Colonel Francis Marion. Man, I thought he was soooo cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Surely I was set aback when learning of this new passing. If I ever have another daughter, Shirley will be her name. (I'd spell it Cheryly, though) RIP, Mr. Nielsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 My first - and fondest - rememberance of him was not as a comedic actor, but as the dashing "Swamp Fox" on the Disney series about Revolutionary War Colonel Francis Marion. Man, I thought he was soooo cool! That was probably around the time he was in Tammy and The Bachelor with Debbie Reynolds. He was quite dashing and romantic.

miamisammy29 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Leslie Nielsen is the kind of person that makes me proud to be an American. That's because he's a Canadian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 At one point, I pretty much did. I have honestly lost count how many times I've seen that movie. And I still laugh incredibly hard throughout the movie. I watched it again today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanAm Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 My favourite scene from the Naked Gun movies is the one where Leslie Neilsen shows up at a fertility clinic wearing a sling, thinking that it is just a regular medical clinic. His "performance" in the donation room is hysterical as is the aftermath when, exhausted, he goes home to find a randy Priscilla Presley waiting to be entertained. I think the first time I saw him in a comedic role was in the early seventies on an episode of MASH. Maybe the producers of Airplane saw it and decided he'd be perfect for the role of the doctor. Who knows? He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
