When I called for our interview, Cloris Leachman was in Montreal working on a film. It was 3 pm her time, but she told me she had not yet had breakfast. I thought, with her busy schedule we might only have a few minutes to talk, but Cloris Leachman was in the mood to talk. Our conversation lasted an hour and was so fun and charming that I am presenting it here for you unedited. Enjoy!
