The Last Picture Show (1971) and parts in three of Mel Brooks’s vaudeville comedies. But it was television that took up the bulk of her career, and for which she won eight Primetime Emmy awards out of 22 nominations.

In fact, Leachman had begun acting professionally in TV and on the stage in 1948, seven years before Kiss Me Deadly. Her parents, Cloris (nee Wallace) and Buck Leachman, ran the Leachman Lumber Company in Des Moines, Iowa, where she was born, the eldest of three sisters.

After majoring in drama at Northwestern University, in Illinois, she started to act in plays and musicals at the Des Moines Playhouse.
