Cloris Leachman | The Complete "Pioneers of Television" Interview 

what a beautiful comment! 🙏

Even funnier when she tastes it.

One of the most clever I ever watched

@@leighewinson9473The sign of a good TV comedy is the distinct lack of canned laughter. Very few comedies rank in this class. Bit of personal trivia. I grew up in NYC and knew Martha Plimpton (Virginia Chance in RH) when she was a young girl. Her mother worked for the same company as I did and Martha would often show up in the office when she had finished school, or it was the summer. Always wearing roller-skates. She had a spark, even at a young age. It wasn't until years later, when I had moved to the UK I was watching the Goonies and there was something familiar about one of the cast. Imagine my surprise to discover it was Martha. Mind you, she comes from a theatrical family. Her father is Keith Carradine, a well-known actor and son of the legendary actor John Carradine. Her mother, who I worked with is Shelly Plimpton, she was in the original cast of Hair on Broadway. In fact, she features on the original soundtrack. =)

that's a small price to pay imo

Her style was always unique in life and her work, a lot of people who worked with her said that while she was often difficult she never disappointed.

​@@cmcb09I can't ever imagine her being difficult. Where did you hear this?

@@blerksnarfgut2766 I've heard it mentioned in a few interviews, not meant as a put down she just knew what she wanted and wasn't a milquetoast and took nobody's crap but she worked til the end. If you watch some of her interviews towards the end of her life after her ex-husband died she cut loose a lot more. Openly didn't care about a lot of the projects she did just did it for the cash. She was the definition of a working actress and it served her well.
