"Don't call me Shirley"

[Mahonri]

Actor Leslie Nielsen has passed.

I stood in line in back of him at a Costco a year or so ago and we had a wonderful conversation. He was so very personable.
Told me he gets called Shirley a lot! We laughed.

I loved both Airplane and the Naked Gun series. I'm a slapstick kind of guy I suppose..

'Airplane!' star Leslie Nielsen dies at 84

Sad. He was a great actor and had an amazing ability to do comedy and serious drama.

So sad! We love that movie!

Love his comedian ways LOL and with Priscilla Presley and him, what a hoot!

 

[The Lisser]

Oh no! He was one of my husband's favorite actors. I bet my husband can quote "Airplane" from start to finish.

We are lucky that he shared his talent with the world.

Did you know his brother was Peter Arness, the marshall from Gunsmoke?

I loved everything he did, it saddened me to hear of his loss.
