Cloris Leachman's achievements are nothing short of historic.

Her Oscar win for The Last Picture Show proved she could command the screen in serious drama, while her work in Young Frankenstein showed her mastery of slapstick. Being inducted into the Pioneers of Television Hall of Fame and receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame solidified her place in entertainment history. She remains the only actress to win Emmys in three different decades.
