I have always liked Cloris Leachman but after her appearance on Howard Stern this week, I have a new found appreciation for her! At 82 y/o she is fabulous! I loved her in Bad Santa. She is a darling! So charming and funny. She’s not even the slightest bit pretentious. She will talk about anything and everything and has done it all! She is one of those people who will not truly be appreciated for her talents until she is gone.

These are my favorite lines from her interview:

Cloris to Howard: I’ll shave.

Cloris to Robin: No! You bitch! Now I know why they have you sequestered.

Robin: Who is Bonnie?
Cloris: Well does it matter? We can’t have Bonnie going back to Tennessee now can we? So of course I said you can have the divorce.

Howard: You could have done better than Gene Hackman.
Cloris: Not that night.
