Leslie Nielsen, Hollywood legend and comedic actor, has died at the age of 84. TMZ reports Nielsen died of complications from pneumonia in a hospital near his home in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on Nov. 28. He was surrounded by his wife and family.

Nielsen played several serious roles early in his career but is perhaps best known for his comedy starring in such films as "Airplane!" and "Naked Gun." His film career spanned more than 50 years when he starred in 1956's "Forbidden Planet."



RIP Mr. Nielsen, No One Will Ever Call You Shirley.

Shirley you jest  ;)

It took an actor of his quality to make stupid movies with stupid jokes fun to watch.

What many don't know is he was a multi talented actor. Before he won fame as a comedy actor in the "Airplane" movies and "Police Squad" he played a very accomplished bad a$$ character actor in a lot of cop shows like S.W.A.T. and many others. The guy was one of the best. He will be missed. Bill T.
