Cloris Leachman is an actress that normally plays grumpy Germanic types.

She took a break from her one woman show Cloris!, to compete in Season 7 of Dancing with the Stars. She bribed the judges, flashed Len Goodman and dropped the f-bomb...all in the first week. She was voted off in week 6. Her lucky partner was Corky Ballas.

Closris has recently released a book detailing her start in the acting business. Some juicy topics!

Here's the latest news and information on Cloris.

Cloris Leachman on Wikipedia 

Cloris Leachman (born April 30, 1926) is an American actress of stage, film and television. She has won eight Primetime Emmy Awards—more than any other female performer—and one Daytime Emmy Award. She won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in the 1971 film The Last Picture Show. She is best known for playing the nosy, self-centered and manipulative landlady Phyllis Lindstrom on the 1970s TV series The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and later on the spinoff series, Phyllis. She also appeared in three Mel Brooks films, including Young Frankenstein. In recent years, she became very...

Cloris' Tell-all Book - Cloris 

It's what you expect from Cloris - outrageous, funny and downright rude! (Plus the sex with Gene Hackman sounds amazing!)

Cloris: My Autobiography

Amazon Price: $16.32 (as of 07/05/2009)Buy Now

With surprising candor, she talks about her experiences at the Actor's Studio, her "Peck s bad boy" behavior on the set of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, her work with Mel Brooks and other filmmakers, her return to sitcoms with The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Malcolm in the Middle, and her difficulty shaking off the roles she immerses herself in. She shares wonderfully revealing anecdotes about her co-stars and friends: Marlon Brando, Meryl Streep, Dianne Keaton, Sissy Spacek, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, and the Kennedy family. She reveals her source of inspiration behind High Anxiety (giant fake breasts) and The Last Picture Show (a disturbing childhood incident). Finally, she speaks frankly about being a celebrity icon, trying to balance her family, career, and boundless creativity energy.

I liked her in the Christmas movie "Prancer", which starred the handsome Sam Elliot. A wonderful family Christmas movie I'll feature in my lens on Christmas movies.
