2. In the mid-90's the younger students at University challenged..

me when I told them that Leslie Nielsen had been a serious dramatic actor
in the 40's, 50's and sixties. That he often played the police or the villain.
They wondered how anyone kept from laughing...

He was a truly great comedy actor. RIP

4. Also sci-fi. Check him out in "Forbidden Planet".

Surely, not the schtick we associate with Leslie Nielsen but it's pretty great. (Yes, I was calling him Shirley)

9. Just showed that to my young adult kid who was amazed and rather shocked

Big change between 30 yr old and 70.

Yes, I remember. I had lasagna.

10. That's one of my alltime favorite movies! He was so straight-laced! What a contrast.

A really nice man in person, and totally embraced his comedic shtick.

5. That was hard to believe after he made so many comedies

He was an incredibly talented man.

7. "A hospital? What is it?"

"It's a big building with patients in it."

The world is surely a lesser place without him.

Yes it is, and don't call him Shirley.

8. "You can tell me. I'm a doctor."

Well done, Mr. Nielsen. Thanks for the memories.
