| | Posted: | | | | According to his Brother who lives in Richmond BC, Leslie Nielsen of Naked Gun Fame passed away at 3:30 pm this afternoon at the age of 84 due to complications of pneumonia.. I loved his funny roles but as you all know he was a straight man in the 50's 60's but thanks to Airplane his dead pan humor was an instant success... he will be vastly missed ........  | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

| | Posted: | | | | RIP Lt. Drebin | | | My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it! |
