Cloris Leachman, an American actress and comedian whose career spanned seven decades, amassed an impressive array of accolades, including eight Primetime Emmy Awards from 22 nominations, the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for "Rain Man," and a Golden Globe for her role in "Phyllis," the spin-off of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." Her portrayal of the shrewd and sardonic Phyllis Lindstrom in both shows solidified her status as a comedic icon and secured her place in Emmy history as the most nominated and awarded actress alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
