Sad news. I'm going to miss ol' Enrico Palazzo. R.I.P., Leslie.

What timing, I just watched The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! last night. Even though I saw it before it still made me laugh. He will be missed.

I will miss you Leslie. No I won't call you Shirley.

From the other thread, first hand stories always take the cake:

A very funny man, indeed.

About seven years ago the limousine company I worked for was asked to provide transportation for a holiday fundraiser event (party). A number of noted celebrities were in attendance. I had the honor of driving Mr. Nielsen, Red Buttons, and Norm Crosby from their hotel to the event. Once I got them into the limo they wouldn't stop talking . . . they all were trying to outdo each other with funny stories, one-liners and such for the 20 minute ride to the party.

I had a great time driving them and hearing them entertain themselves. Unfortunately, one of the other drivers picked them up for the return trip back to the hotel. (I got to drive a couple of (boring) movie actors instead.)

Besides all the funny movies he acted in, that evening is a great memory to treasure. :yes:

I'll be watching Forbidden Planet tonight in his honor and memory.

Hope he doesn't mind being remembered with smiles and laughter.

I saw this last night and was devastated. He was such a great actor and comedian. He will be so missed.

Sad news, Requiescat in pacem Leslie. I also learned of the death of the great Italian movie director Mario Monicelli ( http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=336155 ).
