Cloris Leachman Makes Bad Reality Show Halfway Watchable, Sexy

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

82-year-old Oscar and Emmy-winning actress Cloris Leachman has taken our popular culture by storm with her latest comeback role... on a reality show.

Leachman, who starred in Young Frankenstein and on the Mary Tyler Moore Show, is back in the spotlight again after surviving four elimination rounds on Dancing With the Stars, a show she was, according to today's New York Times, the star was rejected from twice...

If you can't understand why we'd find an 82-year-old still sexy, check out this excerpt from the Times story. Speaking to a male reporter on what she might do next:

I could get pregnant,” she said in an interview in her trailer, where, completely coincidentally, she insisted on changing out of her ballroom gown in front of a reporter. “I’ve got a bit of time before my next project. Maybe I’ll be on ‘American Idol.’ ” [New York Times]

What idiot was it that said "only men get better with age?" Whoever it was, they've just been proved completely wrong...

Here's Leachman in 1971's the Last Picture Show, in which she somehow makes prim and plain look sexy as hell...

Warning: You probably shouldn't watch this at work.

That is one pointy brassiere. He's lucky he didn't put out an eye.

Cloris was amazing in that movie. A well-deserved Oscar for Best Supporting Actress was the result.
