OlderCloris Leachman Remembered By Reese Witherspoon, Mel Brooks, John Stamos & More
Tributes are pouring in for Cloris Leachman, who passed away this week at the age of 94.
Fans of the iconic actress and many celebs are taking to social media to share their memories of the actress and praise her for her work in the industry.
“Truly original and larger than life in every unique performance . An incredibly talented actress who will be deeply missed,” Reese Witherspoon shared on Twitter after the announcement of Cloris‘ passing.
Ed Asner, who starred with Cloris on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, shared an image of the two of them together.
“A picture from the last time I saw you. Always beautiful. Nothing I could say would top the enormity of my love for you. Until we meet again darling. #clorisleachmanrip.”
Another of Cloris‘ longtime friends and peer, Mel Brooks, also shared a touching tribute to her.
Such sad news—Cloris was insanely talented. She could make you laugh or cry at the drop of a hat. Always such a pleasure to have on set. Every time I hear a horse whinny I will forever think of Cloris’ unforgettable Frau Blücher. She is irreplaceable, and will be greatly missed.

She was Mary's neighbor, Wonder Woman's mom, Frankenstein's right hand, and so much more. She did comedy, drama, noir, and everything between, conquering every role with the consummate aplomb of a true legend. In short, there was no one like Cloris Leachman. Rest well, icon. pic.twitter.com/5iBEFhow57

The 1st time I met #ClorisLeachman was at a fundraiser. Without even saying hello, she came over to our table & started clearing our plates while we were mid bite. She took them & stacked them on a neighboring table. She did this until everything was gone, then walked away. RIP.

Cloris Leachman played my mother on my second sitcom. I always considered myself lucky for having the chance to work with her. She will be missed.
