Cloris Leachman Dead At 94

I loved Cloris. Such incredible talent. She will be missed.

Oscar winner and multiple Emmy winner Cloris Leachman, best remembered as the delightfully neurotic Phyllis Lindstrom on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and her own subsequent sitcom, died of natural causes on Tuesday in Encinitas, Calif. She was 94.

She lived a long life and was an amazingly funny actress IMO. Her serious roles were also excellent, but I am a sucker for comedy.

“It’s been my privilege to work with Cloris Leachman, one of the most fearless actresses of our time,” her longtime manager Juliet Green said. “There was no one like Cloris. With a single look she had the ability to break your heart or make you laugh ’till the tears ran down your face. You never knew what Cloris was going to say or do and that unpredictable quality was part of her unparalleled magic.”

The daffy, self-absorbed Phyllis, a character she claimed was close to her own persona, brought the actress two Emmys as a featured actress in a series during the mid-’70s and made Leachman a household name.

Just saw this... she was ubiquitous at 287 credits.

But swear to god I had no idea she was the the french revolutionary in "The History of the World Part 1". Young Frankenstein sure... but.

Her most uncomfortable roll for me was Grandma in Beerfest.

Thanks for a million laughs Cloris






Betty White is still ok right?

Talented and funny no doubt, one of those people who don't need to command respect, it's just there in oodles, R.I.P. that lady.

Loved her. Back when I actually got comedy.
As an aside, I’ve noticed how very old many of these people of note are when they pass. I’m not confident I will get another 30 years.

I will always remember her as Phyllis.

RIP Cloris!

Agreed. She was classy I think. I never got that “I’m better than you” vibe from her. She had a quick wit and sarcasm so sharp you couldn’t help but appreciate it.

Me either if I’m telling the truth. I’m not sure if they seem to live longer because they've never had to make a living doing manual labor or of their money simply affords then medical care we’d never dare dream of. Who knows.

I remember her as Gam Gam. I won't forget her....., ever.

Great Gam Gam: We are all whores in some ways.

Just saw her in an episode of Gunsmoke
She was very talented and funny.
RIP AND FLY HIGH CLORIS

I just watched Croods 2 with the grandsons this past weekend, and was looking up all the characters. She was the old cave lady. And very funny in both movies. Her voice was very distinctive.

Lots of other movies I liked her in too.

RIP.

I Know we are going to loose Betty White soon too, which will be another sad day.
She is my absolute favorite in Lake Placid.

A very good long life lived, fantastic roles and will be missed. Need to watch quite a few things again in order to celebrate her career.

She always was hilarious in just about all of her roles I've seen her in...

Great Gam Gam : Mr. Badrinath... we are not so different, you and I. I've had all kinds of things shoved up my ass. I got over it. You will, too.

[puts a comforting hand on Barry's shoulder]

Great Gam Gam : You will, too.

Great Gam Gam : I always sleep better with a little sausage in me.

Great Gam Gam : You two are the rightful heirs to the Von Wolfhausen Brewery. You should have the balls to take back what is yours!

Steve "Fink" Finklestein : Wow! You even talk like a whore!

Great Gam Gam : We are all whores in some ways.
