For seven decades, Cloris Leachman’s one-of-a-kind comedic flair cemented her as a legendary figure in film and television. Even off screen she was a force to be reckoned with, and everyone who knew her was in awe of her fireball energy.
She was also a star who became famous later in life, and she did so by spending a lot of time honing her craft and perfecting her comedic timing. It was hard work that paid off for decades to come, ceaselessly fueling her spark, which continued to garner praise in new roles well into her eighties. Leachman never lost her sense of humor, and her legacy lives on as one of TV's funniest women—but she also threw us some dramatic curveballs and film performances we'd be remiss to forget (she was, after all, an Oscar-winning actress).
