Leslie Nielson has died
He of Airplane and Naked Gun fame has passed away...
link ... He will be sorely missed "It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day." "Goodyear?" "No, the worst..." |

As much as I love Airplane, Naked Gun, and Police Story... It is as the starship commander in Forbidden Planet I will remember him.
Great actor. |

And I'll forever remember him for his role in Due South.
A genius has left us, and the world is a sadder place because of it. |
