She received two Emmy Awards as the irrepressible Phyllis on
The Mary Tyler Moor Show. . .she won an Oscar for her supporting role as a frustrated housewife in
The Last Picture Show. . .she delighted audiences with her deliciously villainous turns as Frau Blucher in
Young Frankenstein and Nurse Diesel in
High Anxiety. . .and she earned even more award nominations playing a hard-drinking grandmother in
Spanglish.Now, for the first time, the incomparable Cloris Leachman reflects on her amazing life and illustrious career. . .From her hometown in Des Moines, Iowa, (where she first saw Katharine Hepburn perform on stage, never imagining they would one day do Shakespeare together) to the bright lights of Broadway and the television studios of L.A., Cloriss journey has been filled with laughter and tears, marriage and motherhood, tragedy and triumph. Along the way, she shares wonderfully revealing anecdotes about Marlon Brando, Meryl Streep, Dianne Keaton, Sissy Spacek, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, the Kennedy family, and many more. Funny, frank, brilliant, and altogether human, this is the real Cloris Leachman as youve never seen her before.
Sparkling praise for Cloris!
