How very sad to have lost such a great actor. I have loved Leslie Nielson since I was a very small child. He was truly one of the most talented actors that Hollywood has been blessed with. He made you laugh, cry, and sing. Heaven is much richer now that Leslie is there to entertain all of the Angels. May you rest in peace, my dearest friend!!!! Thank you for being a blessing to millions!
We will miss you more than you could ever have imagined. We love you.
Leslie is a great comic genus, but has anyone seen
him in HOME IS WHERE THE HART IS. A movie
made in 1987 and under the radar, you can spot his
early comic genus and why the Zuckers wanted him
for AIRPLANE!. It was shown on ThisTV, Indianapolis.
