I loved Leslie Neilsen since I first saw him in SWAMP FOX, on the Wonderful World of Disney beginning 1959. He was a fox himself, back then, was dear Leslie. Actually, he retained his good looks throughout his life.
How about FORBIDDEN PLANET or the more silly TAMMY AND THE BACHELOR, both of which I enjoyed.
And his Frank Drebin roles are priceless. He was a great practical joker, too, from what I understand.
Leslie, you will be missed.
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
