Leslie Nielsen

In 1998, I spent the afternoon on the set of Leslie Nielsen's movie "Wrongfully Accused" and it was a blast. He was shooting his latest movie in West Vancouver.

He is, without a doubt, one of the nicest people in show business. At 72, he was still doing some of his own stunts and clowning around even when the cameras stopped rolling. Director Pat Proft (see above) is also full of fun and I couldn't stop laughing.

The crew had been the target of so many of Nielsen's practical jokes that this day, they decided to get their own back. They had ordered over 100 hand-held whoopie noise makers and every time you turned around, someone let one rip. I wish all movie set were like this one.

A big thank-you to Terry Peters for taking these photographs.
