Variety reported that Cloris Leachman passed away of natural causes today at the age of 94. Two of my favorite pics of her, courtesy of Twitter:

 

 

Note that Betty White is alive and well.

Sad. She was one of my fav comedic actors. I could watch her do almost anything

One of the best lines and best deliveries - EVER.

She was her comedic best in "High Anxiety"! Talent for a lifetime!

Even though it's for purely comical reason the below bondage gag from High Anxiety won't load directly.

A Tribute To Cloris Leachman

[samhexum]

Since college, I've never been able to call her by her correct name. A friend told me that she'd seen C.L. on a talk show talking about how people always messed up her name-- such as calling her Clorox Bleachman. I thought that was hilarious. So for 40 years now, that's who she's been to me.

 

AND SHE HAD THE BEST OPENING THEME EVER:

She was a great actress. Loved her in the Mel Brooks movies.

 

Too bad Phyliss was never released on DVD.

I loved her in The Last Picture Show.

Maybe we'll get lucky and Decades will run a Phyllis marathon due to her death. If so, I'll set my DVR to record it.

We think of her as a comic actress, and she was brilliant at that, but her performance in The Last Picture show is crushing.

I only just saw "The Last Picture Show" last May, in the thick of watching a TON of Turner Classic Movies for a couple months while both the film/TV industry and escort jobs were shut down. Incredible.

 

Was happy to see her in the Starz/Amazon Prime series "American Gods" as well, few years back (I've worked on that one a bunch, but not in the scenes she was in). Was happy to see she was still alive.

One of the true Hollywood beauties, even into her later years.

No doubt this pic was inspired by Sue Ann's introductory episode on MTM... The Lars Affair, in which Sue Ann has an affair with Phyllis' hubby. It was MTM's mother's favorite episode & mine, as well.

Cloris Leachman got her start in Des Moines and never forgot her hometown

Cloris: "I'm not here to roast Bob Saget, I am here to F*ck to John Stamos."

 

Hope you was successful. The entire audience saw John Stamos'fine ass when he was in the revival of "Cabaret" on Broadway
