Thank you. Seems to take so many of the elderly doesn't it. I often wonder how many people I know would still be here but for contracting this. Lost both my grandparents to Pneumonia too ......
I am now watching clips of him on the Web.....what a truly brilliant actor he was and what a loss to us all. God Bless.
His funeral procession is going to be great. Red flashing light on the hearse and then driving through supermarkets, changing rooms, going on a rollercoater and so on.
Finally stopping at the cemetary by crashing into some dustbins.
Love it. IMHO he`s up there with Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy as a comedy GREAT.
Leslie's comedy in Airplane/Naked Gun is unique and came somewhat out of the blue considering his serious roles before.
The Naked Gun films are very special as they are :):):):)-many many many times over. It doesnt matter how down I am,the films transport me to a place that I can laugh!
Sad news, my great-nan was a huge fan, and I'm one of the few people that liked Repossessed.
I wouldn't say that I "liked" the films like Repossessed, Spy Hard or Dracula Dead & Loving It overall, but Leslie Nielsen had that unique ability through his delivery of a line to lift average films into very watchable ones.
The Naked Gun films and Airplane are all time classics, but Leslie was great in even the lesser films.
I can't help smiling when I think of his performances, even at this sad time. That must be the best epitaph for a comic actor. RIP Leslie and thank you for creasing me up on many occasions.
Such sad news.An absolute comic legend who made many people laugh.
Frank Drebin: "Is there a ransom note?"
Ed: "Yes, the butler found it; it was tied to this window and thrown into the rock garden. I sent the note to the lab; they're demanding one million dollars.
Frank Drebin: "Why would the lab demand a million dollars?"
Really sad news. He made me laugh so much...Condolences to his family. I hope he didn't take a whoopie cushion with him. ( He loved, those). God might not laugh.

Forbidden Planet ... A Classic
Goodbye Leslie... God isn't going to know what hit him:)
The Naked Gun films are very special as they are
Thats a fantastic legacy.
I love all the films mentioned previously,but no one has mentioned 'Wrongfully Accused' which is right up there with the others.
RIP
RIP Mr Nielsen :cool:
Takes a lot of skill to deliver lines the way he does.
R.I.P Leslie. You'll live on through your amazing films my friend!

Nice beaver.
Strange that even in death he's making people smile. I doubt there could be a more fitting tribute to him.
Thanks, I just had it stuffed:D
R.I.P Leslie, an absolutely brilliant actor.
