Re: Cloris Leachman and a quick look at her IMDB history:

She was born in 1926 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Her first mention in a movie was in “Carnegie Hall” in 1947. Her nest was in “Kiss me Deadly” in 1955. She made dozens of TV appearances before and after on pretty much every damned major serious drama production in TV in between, from Actor’s Studio, to Kraft Theater, to Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

She played June Martin, Timmy’s mom on Lassie, for 28 episodes in 1957 and 1958 until she was fired for not wanting to go on the road and flog Campbell’s Soup ( the shoe’s sponsor).

At the time of her death, she had two movies in Post Fucking Production.

That, my friends , is the definition of a working actress.

RIP.
