  5. Long before his movie Naked Gun was released, I asked Leslie about and he explained one of the scenes to me. Once he did, I didn’t think it was funny but pretended it was. It wasn’t until I actually saw the movie that I understood how funny it was. Seeing is believing. God bless him. He bootstrapped his entire career. The man was a great actor and comic genius.

  6. Obsessed with farting and fart jokes. His gravestone says "Let 'er rip". Really.

    1. I remember he brought his fart device - it was a small hand-held thing - onto Johnny Carson, to show it off. He was an expert with that thing - if it was a wild-animal call, he would have caused a stampede. As it was, the whole audience couldn't help from cracking up at the sounds he was making with it.

  7. Bet you didn't know he was screen tested for the part of Marsalla in Ben Hur with Charlton Heston. You can see it on the utube.
