Pay tribute to Leslie Nielsen with movie t-shirt

29/11/2010

Hollywood legend Leslie Nielsen has died aged 84 at a hospital near his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The actor's agent John S Kelly stated the actor had died due to complications from pneumonia.

Nielsen's wife Barbaree and his family and friends were at his bedside.

"He was truly a nice man. A very caring, naturally funny guy in day-to-day life, not just because someone wrote something on paper for him," Nielsen's nephew Doug told Canadian radio station CJOB.

He added Nielsen was one of his best friends and stated he would miss him dearly.

Fans of the performer - famed for comedy classics such as Airplane and the Naked Gun films - can pay their respects to him with a movie t-shirt from the range available at 8ball.co.uk.

Why not opt for a design featuring a memorable quote from the film Airplane stating: "I AM serious and don't call me Shirley"?
