double fuck

Leslie Nielsen, the actor best known for starring in such comedies as Airplane! and the Naked Gun film franchise, died Sunday of complications from pneumonia at a hospital near his home in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. He was 84.

“We are sadden by the passing of beloved actor Leslie Nielsen, probably best remembered as Lt. Frank Drebin in The Naked Gun series of pictures, but who enjoyed a more than 60-year career in motion pictures and television," said a statement from Nielsen's family released through his rep.

After Airplane! became a hit, the film's directors -- Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker -- wanted to take the film's slapstyle style of comedy to TV. They asked Nielsen to play the lead role in their new series "Police Squad!"

Not very "Happy Days"

Tom Bosley, the good-natured patriarch on ABC's Happy Days for more than a decade who served as an American father figure for millions of television viewers, died early Tuesday at a hospital near his Palm Springs home. He was 83.

The family said that Bosley died of heart failure. His agent, Sheryl Abrams, said Bosley also was battling lung cancer.

Bosley played Howard Cunningham -- or "Mr. C.," as the kids on the show called him -- on more than 250 episodes of Garry Marshall's "Happy Days," which ran on Tuesday nights from 1974-84. An idealized vision of American life set in 1950-60s Milwaukee, the comedy was No. 1 in the ratings in 1976-77.

TV Guide ranked Bosley's character No. 9 on its list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time" in 2004.

Bosley followed Happy Days with a recurring role as Sheriff Amos Tupper in Murder, She Wrote for four seasons, then played the title character on The Father Dowling Mysteries from 1989-91.

Other TV credits include regular roles in the early 1970s on The Debbie Reynolds Show and The Sandy Duncan Show. In Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, a 1972-74 animated series, he provided the voice of a conservative dad.

Bosley also performed in such movie fare as Yours, Mine and Ours (1968), The Secret War of Harry Frigg (1968) and Mixed Company (1974).

He had a role in the Jennifer Lopez film The Back-up Plan, released this year.

I lost count at how many times i have busted a gut laughing at Nielsen.
And Tom Bosley, reminded me of that cartoon dog droopy. But in a good way.

RIP Leslie Neilsen,Tom Bosley,Ingrid Pitt

and now I just heard Irvin Kershner director of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back died :( RIP

[_____V_____]

R.I.P to one of the modern innovators of physical comedy.

Yes it's true. The legends are dropping like flies. :(



Irvin Kershner, the Hollywood journeyman who directed the darkest – and arguably best – Star Wars adventure of them all has died after a long illness.

He was 87.

Born in Philadelphia in 1923, Kershner made his feature debut with the 1958 teen thriller Stakeout on Dope Street. He worked steadily throughout the 1960s and 70s until George Lucas, impressed by his work on the Faye Dunaway thriller Eyes of Laura Mars, hired him to direct 1980's The Empire Strikes Back. While the director was seen by some as an unlikely choice to oversee the second instalment of the Star Wars franchise, Kershner's sombre, character-driven approach paid handsome dividends. "I like to fill up the frame with the characters' faces," he once explained. "There's nothing more interesting than the landscape of the human face."

Following the success of The Empire Strikes Back, Kershner went on to direct Sean Connery in 1983's unofficial James Bond outing Never Say Never Again. His other credits include A Fine Madness, Raid on Entebbe, The Return of a Man Called Horse and Robocop 2. An occasional actor, he also played the role of Zebedee, father of James and John, in Martin Scorsese's controversial The Last Temptation of Christ.

R.I.P. to the man who made (arguably) one of the biggest and best sci-fi films ever made in history...

It's been a real sad week so far...
