She just passed. She played the neighbor Phyllis on the Mary Tyler Moore show and was in Young Frankenstein among other roles.

Oh no... Frau Blücher! She was so funny, especially in Young Frankenstein. “He was...my BOYFRIEND!” RIP.

Aaah. RIP Cloris.

Watched her Oscar-winning performance in The Last Picture Show a few months ago.

Seeing it again almost 50 years later, it still resonates...and breaks your heart.

I can relate to your post. I saw The Last Picture Show at the cinema in Osaka city centre — I remember that was September, 1972, just after my school holidays. One Saturday afternoon on a hot and sweaty day. A deep, sad film that left me bleak in the end.

That was a double feature with the first-time revival of Easy Rider. Seemingly sitting on the opposite side from each other, two works gave a strange sense of relevance to this then teenager somehow. The Vietnam War was still going on.

I haven’t seen it since then.
