Leslie Nielsen of ‘Airplane!,’ ‘The Naked Gun’ is Dead at 84
Submitted by PatrickMcD on November 29, 2010 - 11:53amCHICAGO – One of the funniest lines Leslie Nielsen ever uttered wasn’t in one of his spoofs. In his role as doomed Captain Harrison in ‘The Poseidon Adventure,’ Nielsen is facing the huge wave that will eventually capsize the boat, and as an stern aside says, “by the way, Happy New Year.” A star, comically inadvertent, was born. Leslie Nielsen died yesterday at the age of 84.
