2. In the mid-90's the younger students at University challenged.. |
|
me when I told them that Leslie Nielsen had been a serious dramatic actor in the 40's, 50's and sixties. That he often played the police or the villain. They wondered how anyone kept from laughing...
He was a truly great comedy actor. RIP

4. Also sci-fi. Check him out in "Forbidden Planet". |

Surely, not the schtick we associate with Leslie Nielsen but it's pretty great. (Yes, I was calling him Shirley)

10. That's one of my alltime favorite movies! He was so straight-laced! What a contrast. |
|
A really nice man in person, and totally embraced his comedic shtick.

7. "A hospital? What is it?" |
|
"It's a big building with patients in it."
The world is surely a lesser place without him.
Yes it is, and don't call him Shirley.
