This is too bad.

I just hope that at the end of his personal stairway to heaven, there’s a nice beaver.

(Fans will understand.)

I was an extra on one of his movies. He came came over, shook hands with and introduced himself to me and each of the other extras. That was very unusual.

He was a classy and decent guy.

>Airplane! is my favorite comedy.

Wasn’t Airplane! (or Airplane! II) the inspiration for the porno-scanners?

To this day, my friend who maintains he is dyslexic, says he never laughed harder than he did when he saw this, and Nielsen's face appeared from behind the paper...

R.I.P. Leslie Nielsen:

Nobody will think of you without smiling.
Few had that gift.
