Leslie Nielsen will definitely be missed ,not only for his comedy,but drama as well.As I a said,he did a LOT of dramatic TV shows during the 1950's,1960's and 1970'sHe was an all-purpose actor,who could do both drama and comedy.Remember the 1987 movie drama "Nuts",with Barbra Streisand?He was in that,and I think it was his LAST drama movie,before he went all comedy.

And I forgot to add:Leslie Nielsen will be missed,not only for his comedy roles,but drama as well, because as I said on another post,he was a guest star on LOTS of 1950's,1960's and 1970's TV drama series,before he did comedy,and he was good at both.Remember the 1987 Barbra Streisand drama film "Nuts"?Leslie Nielsen was in that,and I think it was his LAST drama film,before doing comedy.

I truly hope that's sarcasm and I'm just not detecting it. The youngest of the three actors who passed away this year was Peter Graves. He was 83. Leslie Nielsen was 84, and Barbara Billingsley was in her nineties.

None of them were youngsters, for sure. I just think it's creepy how close together these passings were, that they all happened within the span of less than a year.

But then, that's just my take.

Weird for sure, but just a coincidence. Ethel Merman died in 1984. Steven Stucker died in 1986. Lloyd Bridges died in 1998 and Robert Stack in 2003. Years apart, and all elderly, with the exception of Stucker.

No word yet on the whereabouts of Otto.

And,in the 1950's,1960's,and 1970's TV dramas he did,and the movies he did during that time,he had jet-black hair,and was a good-looking guy even back then.
