Sad news this morning — Airplane and Naked Gun star Leslie Nielsen passed away yesterday in Florida at the age of 84. Us Magazine says:
He passed away Sunday at a hospital near his home in Ft. Lauderdale, where he was being treated for pneumonia.
“We are sadden by the passing of beloved actor Leslie Nielsen, probably best remembered as Lt. Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun series of pictures, but who enjoyed a more than 60-year career in motion pictures and television,” read a statement.
He might be gone, but I know I never pull out a rubber without thinking of Lt. Frank Drebin’s full-body condom scene from the original Naked Gun. In fact, why don’t we revisit it for old times’ sake? May your love of keeping chlamydia at bay during drunken one-night stands keep his spirit alive forever!

Surely this man will endure “Don’t call me Shirley” jokes even in death.
Do you like movies about gladiators, Abby?

One of the best things to come out of Canada, and that’s saying a lot! He was great in the final season of Golden Girls, too. Comedy doesn’t get the critical praise it deserves in film or music. His comedic work on TV and film has cheered up probably hundreds of millions of people over the years. That is a good legacy.

Very sad, he was a King of great, goofball and slapstick humor.
