AFI tribute!
So classy of Cloris Leachman to point out Teri at table on tonite's Mel Brooks tribute. Great to see her!
share“I have an Oscar. I won one in 1971 for ‘The Last Picture Show.’ I started working with Mel Brooks a year later, and I haven’t won one since. Not even a nomination. Bupkus.”
— “Young Frankenstein” actress Cloris Leachman, whose speech in honor of Brooks was one of the night’s sharpest and funniest. Leachman also offered a shout-out to her co-star Teri Garr, who waved from her seat to tremendous applause.
