Cloris Leachman, 1926-2021

Oscar-winner for The Last Picture Show dies at 94

Leachman also worked with Mel Brooks on movies like Young Frankenstein and High Anxiety:

She also had a memorable turn as a TCM Guest Programmer, picking Bridge on the River Kwai for a reason that shocked Robert Osborne: she had never seen it before and wanted to! Unfortunately, I couldn't find that clip on Youtube, and while a web search revealed a page on TCM's site about Leachman being Guest Programmer, the revamping of the website seems to have borked the link.
