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., Cloris's
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 you've never
seen her before. Sparkling praise for Cloris! "Funny, gimlet-eyed
and unpretentious--someone get this woman a talk show." --"Kirkus
Reviews" "She lives what she preaches." --"Library Journal"
