Leslie Nielsen, Farting and Eye-Popping Comedian, RIP

Leslie Nielsen in October 2008Image via Wikipedia In his blog, my friend, Mike Kurtz, shares a personal story about the late, great comedian, Leslie Nielsen. I think you will enjoy it.

Many people only remember him as a comedy actor but he started in TV back in the late 1940's as a very serious leading man. One of his famous films from the 1950's is a science fiction move called the "Forbidden Planet". He played a leading role as a crew member of space ship on a rescue mission. The movie is also famous for creating "Robbie the Robot."
