The Iowa native was known for her hilarious turns in the Mel Brooks-Gene Wilder classicLeachman is perhaps best known for playing Mary Richards' landlady Phyllis on the legendary CBS sitcomand then on her own spinoff show in which her character moved from Minneapolis to San Francisco.
Following news of her passing, stars took to social media to pay tribute to the actress and"funny lady stole her way into our hearts." Mel Brooks remembered Leachman as an"insanely talented" actress who could"make you laugh or cry at the drop of a hat." Ed Asner shared a photo of himself with Leachman from the last time he saw her:"Nothing I could say would top the enormity of my love for you. Until we meet again darling,"
"Salute to Cloris Leachman, who brought comedy's mysteries to the big and small screen," wrote Steve Martin on Twitter.Such sad news—Cloris was insanely talented. She could make you laugh or cry at the drop of a hat. Always such a pleasure to have on set. Every time I hear a horse whinny I will forever think of Cloris’ unforgettable Frau Blücher. She is irreplaceable, and will be greatly missed.
She will be greatly missed. Now a pet peeve and THR is not alone here: for a news outlet to just print tweets by celebrities rather than reaching out to do some actual interviews with those who knew her, is pretty lazy reporting. Search ClorisLeachman, Top Tweets, File, Done!
