Steve Martin has led tributes to Cloris Leachman, the Oscar-winning actor who died this week aged 94. Leachman, who reportedly died of natural causes, memorably played self-absorbed neighbour Phyllis Lindstrom on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Martin, who starred alongside Leachman in The Muppet Movie in 1979, tweeted: “Salute to Cloris Leachman, who brought comedy's mysteries to the big and small screen. ”Mel Brooks remembered Leachman as an "insanely talented" actress who could "make you laugh or cry at the drop of a hat”.

Ed Asner shared a photo of himself with Leachman from the last time they saw each other: “Nothing I could say would top the enormity of my love for you.
