Actress Cloris Leachman passed at 94. This veteran of film and TV acted from early beginnings like the memorable opening woman on the run in Kiss Me Deadly in 1955. She was the mother of a monstrous boy in Twilight Zone in 1961's episode It's a Good Life. She won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in The Last Picture Show in 1971. She was the nosy landlord in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and its spinoff Phyllis. She was nominated 22 times for an Emmy Award and won a record setting eight times! And who could forget her turns in several Mel Brooks films especially as the Frau in Young Frankenstein? She even appeared in Dancing with the Stars not long ago. As one of her characters memorably said, "Remember Me."
