I just heard the tragic news.
Anybody remember "Forbidden Planet?" I haven't seen The Poopsidedown Adventure, except some snippets, like where that fat broad tries to swim underwater; but who could forget "Police Squad" or "Airplane?"
I'm having a moment of silence, and reminisce about his artificial fart box on that talk show that time.
Thanks, Rich
I, for one, will miss Leslie Nielsen's comedy and acting.
And to think that he died before fulfilling his dream: to get people to stop calling him Shirley.
Surely we should have a moment of silence.

I worked at the Las Vegas Hilton parking cars for six years. During that time, he was a regular with us. He had class, and always took time to crack wise. I don't go "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" when I hear of one of the Hollywood elite passing, but his really saddened me. He was a classy guy who took the time to talk to people. What you saw was what you got.
RIP

His obit in the paper this morning cited a Q&A, where he was asked if he was miscast as a comedian. His answer was that he had felt more miscast as a leading man, and that getting to do comedy meant he could finally come into his own.

The movie 'Naked Gun 33&1/3, The Final Insult' was coming on TV last night just as the radio announced his death. What timing. :(

Julie Newmar is 5' 11'. So if by 'huge', this is what you mean, then yes.
She's also pretty big in other areas as well. ;-)

Yes, a classic!
"Relatively simple alcohol molecules with traces of fusil oil."
By the case... in bottles with distillery labeling.
I'd rather have the rubies.
Or ONE of the reactors. I'd power the world.
Must have been a few traces of other things in there too then, since he delivered it in bottles.
Ha Ha, I remember reading Poopsidedown in MAD magazine when I was a kid.
It ain't over 'til it's over:
