And don't call me Shirley
Sadly........Leslie Nielsen has passed away at the age of 84
Many a great laugh from his deadpan delivery
My only problem with one of his performances was watching him in the Poseidon Adventure and trying to take him seriously as I was expecting something daft to happen at any second
RIP

What a shame
I echo the comment about the Poseidon adventure.. or any other 'straight' part he played
RIP Leslie.. 'we'd like to wish you good luck'

And there's talk of remaking The Forbidden Planet, which he starred in 1956.
