I AM Serious... And Don't Call Me Shirley
-
Dead: Leslie Nielsen, of pneumonia at 84. Greatest when he didn't mug for the camera; In "Airplane!" and "Police Squad!," he played it totally deadpan and was hilarious. After that, he showed the audience he knew it was meant to be a comedy, and he wasn't as good. And, yes, I know he was a serious actor before "Airplane!." That's what made him funnier.
