Casting Priscilla Presley in the Naked Gun Movies Was Weird — But it Worked

Thanks to the brilliant team of Jim Abrahams, Jerry Zucker, and David Zucker, audiences have been laughing along for 43 years to one of the best comedies ever made, Airplane! And thanks to this same team, audiences got the gift of seeing actor Leslie Nielsen, best known for dramatic roles in classic films like Forbidden Planet and The Poseidon Adventure, playing comedy for the first time. And thanks to Nielsen's commitment to portraying Dr. Rumack, the discombobulated physician trying to save the passengers on a doomed airliner, as if he were the most serious character in the most serious disaster movie ever made, Nielsen's career as a comic performer was born, some 30 years after his first onscreen appearance. Airplane! was a send-up of 1957's Zero Hour, a low-budget "airliner in peril" movie, and some of the movie's dialogue was lifted directly from the film and inserted into the Airplane! script. Abrahams and the Zucker brothers knew that for Airplane! to work, the actors in the film would have to play it straight, just like the actors in Zero Hour did, and Nielsen nailed the assignment. When it was time to bring The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! to the big screen, with Nielsen as the hopelessly inept, yet downright deadpan Detective Frank Drebin, the search was on for an actress who could play his love interest with the same sense of earnest commitment to the completely absurd. Enter Priscilla Presley, a completely unlikely choice, but a perfect fit as Jane Spencer, the woman who just can't resist the bumbling gumshoe.
