Sally Kellerman

M*A*S*H star Sally Kellerman is the latest actor to pay tribute to the late comic actor Leslie Nielsen, who died last month.

The practical joker played a prank with a fart machine on Kellerman when they were in a production together.

Kellerman told WENN: "I thought he was a wonderful, serious actor but on the first day we were getting ready to shoot and he comes into my dressing room with some other people from the play and suddenly there's this big resounding fart and we all laughed."
 
"For the rest of the day he was farting all the time. First, I felt sorry for him and then I was sickened; I never wanted to see him again. By the end of the day he'd left and we were finished filming and someone said it was a fart machine.
 
"He was perfectly willing to have me think, and anyone else, that he was ill! He never said a word. He didn't have any worries of what we could've been thinking about him. Instead he just left and I'm thinking, 'I hope he's alright.'"
