Cloris Leachman (1926–2021)

The most abiding image: as Phyllis Lindstrom in The Mary Tyler Moore Show. The most striking: as Christina Bailey, running down the highway in nothing but a trenchcoat in Kiss Me Deadly. The strangest: as Ruth Martin in Lassie, pre-June Lockhart. Jon Provost: “Cloris did not feel particularly challenged by the role.”

The New York Times has an obituary.
