He had a great personal style as a comic actor.
Didn't know he was 84 already.

Let's not forget his serious roles, he was after all, an actor first and foremost. My favourite straight film is the SF classic "Forbidden Planet" ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

I've never seen that one not even on cable.  But Airplane surely (uh excuse me Shirley) makes up for any bad ones he did. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

RIP Leslie. Can't imagine a spoof film without him. One of my favorites was Mel Brooks Dracula Dead and Loving it with the late Harvey Korman. Not only did these guys make you laugh they had a great time making the films and it showed. -------------
