The Naked Truth .""The Naked Truth", by the actor
Leslie Nielsen and writer David Fisher, is a fictional autobiography allegedly telling the inside story of Nielsen's life and acting career. The book is written in the style of Nielsen's "The Naked Gun " series of films, with absurd statements describing him as one of the most important actors in the history of Hollywood. Released in 1993 by Pocket Books (a division ofSimon & Schuster, Inc. ), the book was a tie-in for the then forthcoming third installment of the "Naked Gun" series, "".The copyright page notes that "This book is a work of fiction". This is evidenced by numerous photographs featuring Nielsen superimposed on an unrelated scene, including having drinks at a bar with
Howdy Doody or teaching the actorJames Dean how to act.The book is now out of print.
