I knew Leslie Nielsen from “Forbidden Planet”, Robert Stack from “The Untouchables”, Peter Graves from “Mission: Impossible”, Lloyd Bridges from “Sea Hunt”, and Barbara Billingsly from “Leave It To Beaver”. I was totally blindsided when I walked in with my 10-year-old son to a matinee showing of “Airplane” (especially when a certain shirtless young woman dashed in front of the camera for three seconds). It was hilarious, and I had no idea I was watching the birth of a classic. I constantly quote from it, and I still think of it when pulling to the curb at LAX:

Thank you for this interview!
