Leslie Nielsen: 1926 - 2010

Leslie Nielsen, the serious young actor who enjoyed far greater fame in a second career as a bumbling, older, comic actor in hits such as Airplane! and the Naked Gun series, has died from complications from pneumonia brought on while battling a staph infection. He was 84.

Nielsen had been ill for over a week, getting treatment for a staph infection in a hospital in Fort Luaderdale when he contracted the pneumonia. His nephew, Doug Nielsen, confirmed the rumors of his uncle’s death by a call-in to a Manitoba radio station, CJOB on Sunday stating that “today at 5:30, with his friends and his wife, Barbaree, by his side, he just fell asleep and passed away.”

Nielsen is survived by Barbaree Nielsen, his fourth wife, and his two daughters, Thea and Maura, whom the actor had with his second wife, Sandy Ullmann.

Damn, this came a bit unexpected. I loved his work, and his humor. A real icon is no more.

RIP Leslie, miss your funny acts. And RIP Dimebag Darrell, RIP Ronnie James Dio, RIP Peter Steele, and.. hope I don't need to add to list any other names. There may be others, but the person itself it's priceless. There will not be other Pantera, Dio, Heaven & Hell, or Type 'O Negative, they've all been so priceless and unique. So thank you for the good times, your music will last forever in the radio and in the heart of the people.
