All I saw about his Mom was that she was Welsh. He studied in Toronto and then New York. He acted in 239 movies, according to IMDB.com. Including some of the funniest ever made, Airplane, and the Naked Gun movies. He also starred in this classic farce.
Nielsen movies were equally funny to men and women, there aren't that many movies during which both my hubs and I will laugh hysterically. And at the end there was always the impression of a nice, decent guy. Funny as heck, but nice. He made us all laugh—men, women, young and old, and in my book that means a lot.
