Cloris Leachman

Cloris Leachman, an Oscar-winner for her portrayal of a lonely housewife in “The Last Picture Show” and a comedic delight as the fearsome Frau Blücher in “Young Frankenstein” and self-absorbed neighbor Phyllis on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” has died. She was 94.

Famed actor Cloris Leachman died on Wednesday of natural causes at 94.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus has come short of making Emmy history for the most overall acting wins. The “Veep” actress Sunday lost her shot at a ninth statuette as an actress, losing the best comedy crown to Phoebe Waller-Bridge of “Fleabag.”

Sunday’s Primetime Emmy Awards has already delivered an abundance of firsts. Along with a slew of first-time nominees, there was a new record set for most nominations for a network in a single year, and the possibility of a record-breaking win.

The dystopian vision of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the deeply cynical Washington comedy “Veep” and the ever-topical “Saturday Night Live” won top series honors Sunday in an Emmy Awards ceremony that took almost nonstop aim at President Donald Trump in awards and speeches.

“Saturday Night Live” and HBO’s “Westworld” rack up 22 nominations each ahead of the 69th annual Primetime Emmys.

Wednesday’s rerelease of Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks’ closest, most enduring collaboration brings their great comedic partnership back to life for one-night only.
