Subject: Three Amazing Things About Leslie Nielsen

Leslie William Nielsen is his real name not a made up stage name.
He never realised that the line “I am serious. And don’t call me Shirley.” would be rated 79th in the 100 greatest movie lines.
And he played the love interest for Debbie Reynolds in Tammy.

OMG.

That is amazing.

Oh wait. Which of the “Tammy“s are you talking about? The 1957, 1961, 1963, 1967, 1965-6 or 2014?

Oh, the first, 1957.

OMG.

That is amazing.
