This is such sad news to start the week on. Naked Gun and Airplane funnyman Leslie Nielsen passed away yesterday. He was 84 years old and apparently died from complications due to pneumonia in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The news spread when his nephew, Doug Nielsen, told CJOB68 radio station, “Today at 5:30 with his friends and his wife by his side, he just fell asleep and passed away.”
What would cinema as we know it be like without a Dr Rumack? (Nielsen’s character in Airplane). In response we’d just like to say, “I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley!” Rest in peace.
