Clement Leonard Cella

Date of Death: December 24, 2023

Clement Leonard Cella (June 29, 1937-December 24, 2023) passed away peacefully at Lankenau Hospital as a result of severe injuries suffered in a pedestrian auto accident on December 23.

Len, a lifelong resident of Broomall, PA, graduated from Marple-Newtown High School in 1955. He was inducted into the school’s athletic hall of fame, having earned letters in three sports while there.

Following high school, he served in the Army for 18 months and was stationed in Japan. Upon his return, he studied architecture at both Villanova and Penn, and his creative mind led him into the field of movie producing, specifically as the creator of “Silly Cinemas’, and “Moron Movies” which later landed him as a nightly feature on the “Johnny Carson Tonight Show “and “TV Bloopers and Practical Jokes.” He has many fans throughout the world and loved to make people laugh.

Prior to that, as a sportswriter, he authored “Through Len’s Lens”, a weekly sports analysis commentary which appeared in the Upper Darby News, now the News of Delaware County.

Len is survived by a brother, Robert, of West Chester, PA. And a daughter, Lana, of Denver, Colorado. Funeral arrangements were private at his request.

Services are Private.

Len will be missed for his friendship, humor and his many incites. He was great to be around and talk about sports in general, but he was very diverse on a number of subjects!! Some were a little out there, but created a lot of discussion ! May he rest in Peace

I have been a fan of his work since I was in grade school. In the 90's, when I had to be in junior high or so, I wrote him a letter saying how much I loved his films and what they meant to me. He wrote back a wonderful letter and included a ton of extra articles he'd written. Years later in 2015, I was able to meet him at a live Moron Movies retrospective. He remembered my name and what I wrote! He was so happy to meet fans, taken aback by how much we still loved him. We stayed in contact ever since. He inspired me from childhood to always follow my own path and listen to my heart in whatever I do - no matter what popular opinion may be. I will forever miss Len, he means so much to me and how I've led my life. Rest in peace, godcella.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
