A Canadian radio station reported on Sunday November, 28th that actor Leslie Nielsen has died in a hospital in Florida. Nielsen’s nephew Doug Nielsen told CJOB talk radio station that the actor passed away after being hospitalized for nearly two weeks with pneumonia. “Just in this last 48 hours, the infection has gotten too much and today at 5.30, with his friends and his wife by his side, he just fell asleep and passed away,” Doug told the radio station.Leslie Nielsen was primarily known for his comedy works for “The Naked Gun” films,. He was first introduced to the screen in the 50′s, starring in science fiction films which included his first film, “Forbidden Planet” and “Dark Intruder”. Since the 80′s he has been in a number of comedy spoofs that include “Airplane”, “Naked Gun”, “Repossessed”, “Spy Hard”, “Mel Brooks’s Dracula Dead and Loving It”. Though Nielsen was best known for his funny comedy roles, he was Emmy Nominated for drama films which include him playing the sleazy john who Barbara Streisand kills in “Nuts” and as the rich snob in “Soul Man”.

And,in addition to his comedy films,Leslie Nielsen starred in many,many,many network drama series:"Thriller","Alfred Hitchcock Presents/The Alfred Hitchcock Hour","Kraft Suspense Theatre","Bob Hope Chrysler Theatre-(aka Universal Star Time-all Universal TV shows),"Hawaii Five-O"(the original version with the late Jack Lord and the late James Mac Arthur-I think),etc....He was good at both comedy and drama.His comedy roles were kind of a take-off of his drama roles-and he was good at doing that-Question:Was he ever featured as Lucas (Dorothy's new husband)on "The Golden Palace"?He will be missed.RIP ,Leslie.

Too bad he never did a Twilight Zone episode but he did star in the Night Gallery episode A Question of Fear.

That is REALLY eerie, they went in threes, just as in Airplane! - first Peter Graves died in March, Barbara Billingsley in October, and now Lesie Nielsen.

McGillicuddy · 11-29-2010, 07:44 PM

And though they didn't pass in the same year, we lost 3 Golden Girls 3 years in a row, Estelle (2008); Bea (2009) and Rue (2010)!
