Cloris Leachman is an Emmy and Oscar-winning actress best known for her
roles as the self-involved neighbor, Phyllis, on The Mary Tyler Moore Show,
and as Frau Blucher in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein. She was recently
paired with professional dancer Corky Ballas, as a contestant on season
seven of Dancing With the Stars. Her list of awards is record-setting, with
eight Primetime Emmy Awards - more than any other female performer -
and one Daytime Emmy Award. She won her Oscar for Best Supporting Ac-
tress in the 1971 film The Last Picture Show.
Leachman began her career in television and film shortly after competing in the Miss America
Pageant as Miss Chicago in 1946. Prior to that, she was very active in theater starring in many
productions at the Des Moines Playhouse. She made her feature film debut in Robert Aldrich's
film Kiss Me Deadly, and one year later appeared oppposite Paul Newman and Lee Marvin in The
Rack.
Her career continued, mainly with work in television on shows such as The Twilight Zone, Raw-
hide, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Lassie. Through the seventies, Leachman played her most
notable character, the nosey neighbor/landlady Phyllis Lindstrom on The Mary Tyler Moore
Show. The character was a fixture on the program for five years and later featured in a spinoff
series, Phyllis, for which Leachman won a Golden Globe award.
