CAN YOU RECOGNIZE HER ?

Born on April 30, 1926, Cloris Leachman entered the world as a fizzing force of nature in Des Moines, Iowa. As the eldest daughter of Berkeley “Buck” and Cloris Leachman, she was raised amidst the rhythmic hum of her family’s lumberyard—a rugged Midwestern foundation that would eventually serve as the prime platform for her out of this world career.

From her earliest days, it was clear that she possessed a bright-eyed energy that was beyond competition; whether she was taking piano lessons or acting in Drake University youth plays, her unapologetic energy was destined to move from a luxurious local childhood to the disciplined fires of the Actors Studio.
