Cloris Leachman, 94
Actress
Left us: Jan. 27 of natural causes
Most memorable role: Mel Brooks fans will vote for Frau Blücher in Young Frankenstein, TV nostalgics will name her role as high-strung, nosy neighbor Phyllis on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, but the Academy gave the versatile actress the golden nod in 1971 for best supporting actress in The Last Picture Show.
You may not have known: While making America belly-laugh on a string of popular sitcoms, Leachman scooped up eight Emmy statues along the way — the highest number for any actress (an honor she shares with Julia Louis-Dreyfus).
