A sad loss in the world of entertainment, and one who allowed many a frequent flyer to laugh out loud in “Airplane”, Leslie Neilson has passed away yesterday at the age of 84.
A serious actor at first, he found his comic timing, and it delivered in Airplane! followed by Police Squad and the Naked Gun Series.
A very sad loss indeed – but his humour will live on in the films.
Unsurprisingly however, airlines didn’t take to having Airplane! on their In-Flight Entertainment. A shame…. because sometimes you do need a bit of fun in the air.
So don’t take the fish, make it a bad day to give up drinking, and head to http://www.awesomefilm.com/script/airplane.txt for a lunchtime chuckle.
