Oscar-winner Cloris Leachman brings along her own sound effects as she ambushes Movie Addict HQ during this very funny interview, which airs again by popular demand on June 18. Cloris talks about her autobiography, working with Mel Brooks, her experience at the Actor’s Studio, her iconic film roles, plus much more! George Englund Jr.  -- Cloris’ manager son -- joins in the fun. And what a dynamic mother/son duo they are!  

With 11 Broadway plays, close to 60 films and 137 television shows to her credit, Cloris boasts a wealth of acting experience to draw from -- and she relates many humorous incidents for listeners to enjoy, while George reveals what it’s been like for him to be his mother’s manager.

Cloris has been wowing audiences for over half a century. She’s worked with such megastars as Paul Newman, Meryl Streep, Steve McQueen, Katharine Hepburn, Dianne Keaton and Sissy Spacek. Among her numerous memorable films are The Last Picture Show (which earned her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar), Young Frankenstein  and High Anxiety. More recently, she stole the show from Meg Ryan and Annette Bening in The Women. Her television career is equally remarkable -- even without considering her sensational appearance on Dancing with the Stars. She’s won nine Emmys for her brilliant work in such shows as Malcolm in the Middle, Mary Tyler Moore, Promised Land, and A Brand New Life. Her current work on Raising Hope keeps fans laughing each week.

“Acting is fun; it isn’t work to me,” Cloris says. “I’m happy and excited when I’m acting, and that is the reward.”

“Cloris Leachman Comedy Ambush” airs on BlogTalkRadio at 4 p.m. Eastern Time (1 p.m. Pacific Time) on Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Listeners are invited to participate in a chat during the live show, and an archived segment will also be available.
