WATCH: See Cloris Leachman’s wide-ranging “The Complete “Pioneers of Television” Interview
She lived well into her 90s and was busy acting until near the end. Cloris Leachman, winner of nine Emmys and an Academy Award, looks back at her acting school days, acting in plays, her range, being Phyllis on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and her own spinoff, her friendship with Valerie Harper, playing Grandma on Malcolm in the Middle, being the mom on Lassie, and going to college with Charlotte Rae and Paul Lynde. She also talks about how much an impact the TV movie Migrants had on her. Her children were played by Ron Howard and Cindy Williams. Love when she cracks up while talking about Young Frankenstein.
