Sorry. I searched his name and did some rooting around on FR before posting. I thought I had the scoop.

In addition to yours, these were all posted since about 8PM CST tonight:

This just in: Leslie Nielsen is still dead !

Actor Leslie Nielsen dies of complications from pneumonia

Leslie Nielsen Dies

Leslie Nielsen dead at 84

Those were all in the first two pages of News/Activism (as of this posting).

I know that articles sometimes get posted multiple times, but this story has been posted way too many times for one night.

Alrighty....rant off.

That's the breaks in such a forum as ours where a celeb is so popular with many of us. I did not make a separate post but rather am commenting only here. My first exposure to Leslie Nielson was the 1956 movie Forbidden Planet. Anne Francis was the eye candy and the symbol of innocence; the great Walter Pidgeon presided as the accomplished albeit hubritic Dr Morbius. Nielson's most memorable quotes from that flick are "This is the Captain speaking" and "That is all."

Dude!

I guess you’ve already turned your rant off but that’s the breaks.

Leslie is a huge part of the FR culture and doubtless you will see his obit again tomorrow.

rant off. /s
