Shel, I remember those shows. I loved them. There was no competition and everyone was there to have a good time.

It was an After School Special in '83. She played Mae Lemke and won a daytime Emmy for that performance. It's stayed with me all these years. That the kind of impact her acting can have on a person. Go Cloris!!

For some reason, the name "Cloris" reminds me of the Seinfeld episode..."Mulva?"

Huk, I've always thought it was rather an unfortunate name her parents gave her.

Glad you enjoyed the vid OG! I just worry about how she'll do, as she seemed a little stiff due to her age, in the vid (her one-woman-show). Mind you I met her about 5 years ago, when she was in town starring in a play, and she seemed VERY energetic. I'll have to ask dh about what play, I think it was a musical, but I have a serious case of CRS right now.

I just read her bio on IMdB. It said she is the only person to have won Emmys in 5 different categories and has a total of 9 Emmys altogether.

Isn't Frau Blucher from Young Frankenstein? She was Nurse Diesel in High Anxiety I believe. Going to go chek IMDB.

going even farther back, she was in the "Last Picture Show" directed by Peter Bogdonavich and was amazing.

Blucher! Neigh.... LOL

My 11 year old doesn't want to watch her dance. He thinks she will be "gross" doing Samba or Rumba, and maybe get hurt trying to do Jive. Kids just don't know how to sugar-coat things. Of course, he thinks Susan Lucci is gross, too, because "she's too old and skinny". I tell him I hope I look like her at that age and he looks at me like I'm nuts. Kids... what can you do? lol.

Cloris Leachman would definitely fit my definition of a "star"...all the citations above of her work, and no one has yet mentioned the Mary Tyler Moore Show, which is where I first remember her--along with the "Last Picture Show".

I just discovered Kim is actually going to be on this show, I'm very surprised they would sink this low. They put her in the same category as actual stars like Cloris Leachman, and among others, a Gold Medal Olympian, when all she did was have a video of she and her then bf (Brandi's little brother wasn't it?) "leaked," and then use that as a jumping off point for some cable station to follow she and her talentless family around. Her life is interesting bc of what? Moreover, that's talent? It's such a waste, there are so many other people with real talent, who actually have a reason to be in the limelight and not some wannabe step-daughter of someone famous. I hope she is gone the first week, bc I don't want to waste time watching this show with her there, which I won't. Why do some people get accolades for doing nothing, or is it perhaps all to sell products to naive teens and bilk them out of their babysitting money. Way to send a message to young girls ABC. Sheesh! Thank goodness The Amazing Race is coming back soon, this show won't even be on my radar.

Stormie, I completely agree with you abour Kim K. Once I heard she was going to be on the show I immediately decided I would not bother watching the show -- well, until she is booted off.

For all you Max fans, just found this interview with him at
http://tvwatch.people.com/2008/09/05/maks-on-dancing-partner-misty-everybody-is-going-to-be-surprised/#more-3656?xid=rss-topheadlines
Excerpt: "After a season away from the ballroom, Maksim Chmerkovskiy is excited to be hoofing again on Dancing with the Stars–especially with his new partner, Olympic volleyball gold medalist Misty May-Treanor....
Since the Olympian’s return from Beijing, the pair have been training for the first week’s dual dance of the fox trot and mambo. ....
Chmerkovskiy is impressed by May-Treanor’s focus. “God, thank you for giving me somebody with an unlimited attention span,” laughed Chmerkovskiy, who was last partnered with Spice Girl Melanie Brown. “Mel B. had the attention span of 1.3 seconds [but] this one can go for hours.”
...Her leg is the same as [season 2's] Stacy Keibler. Watch out! A lot of legs, and they are gorgeous.”...
Chmerkovskiy, who took last season off to rest and rehab, has his own dedicated Dancing fan base who are happy he’s back. “I think coming back this season is perfect timing for me,” Chmerkovskiy said. “It was a risky move. I am happy to say that it worked perfectly for me. I had my rest, took care of my body.”

Tony Dovolani is my fave. He totally charmed me when he was partnered with Marie and then Marissa. He's sweet, kind, down to earth and a dreamboat. Sigh.

I feel in love with him when he was with Stacy. That shot of him in the bathtub was so playful and sexy
