On January 28, according to foreign media reports, Hollywood actress Cloris Leachman died at the age of 94. According to her agent, she died peacefully in her private home in California, a natural death. Littleman is a household name in the United States as the "Queen of Television Dramas", and she is also the most emmy-winning actress in history (nine times in total).
Klaus Litman's most popular role was playing the hilarious neighbor Phyllis Lindstrom in The Mary Taylor Moore Show. In 1971, she also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the film The Last Movie.
Klaus Liteman was born into a middle-class family in Iowa, and Litman had two younger sisters. The three sisters are not engaged in acting except for the youngest sister, and the second sister, Clayburn Cary, is an actor like Littleman.
Littleman loved acting at an early age. As a teenager, she often attended the local youth drama club at Main Drake University on weekends. After graduating from high school, she enrolled in Illinois State University to study drama. After graduation, she entered Northwestern University for further study. Shortly after her participation in the Miss America contest in 1946, she began appearing on television and in movies.
Because of his tall, cute image and funny conversation, Littleman was shortlisted in the top 16 in the Miss America pageant. After the competition, she studied acting under the guidance of Elia Kazan of the New York City Actors Studio. During the performance of Rogers and Hammerstein's Broadway musical South Pacific, she was chosen as a substitute for Nellie Forbush. A few years later, she appeared on Broadway William Inge's Little Bully cast list.
As his broadway performances matured, Litman began to appear frequently on major television broadcasts in the 1950s, including "Suspense" and "Studio One." She made her debut at Carnegie Hall in 1947 and played a major role in Robert Aldridge's classic film Noir Kiss Me. One of the scenes is when she appears on a dark highway, wearing only a trench coat.
A year later, Litman co-starred with superstars Paul Newman and Lee Marvin in the film Rack. In 1969, she starred again with Newman in Tiger and Panther.
Littleman was born with a strong desire to perform and affinity, and her appearance has attracted more and more attention from the industry. After that, she starred in many American dramas such as "Raw Leather Book" and "Twilight Zone".
In 1971, Litman won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in The Last Movie. In the film, she plays Ruth Popper, the wife of a high school physical education teacher, who has an affair with others because she can't stand her husband's snub. Director Peter Bogdanovich once said her performance was enough to win an Oscar.
Litman also won a record nine Emmy Awards and received more than 20 nominations, most notably starring in the Mary Taylor Moore Show. Litman has also voiced in many animated films, including My Little Pony, Trolls of Central Park, and The Iron Giant, most notably for Miyazaki's 1986 film Castle in the Sky.
Littleman's husband is Hollywood director George Englund. Littleman's best friend is Marlon Brando, who also introduced him to her husband, so the two families are close. In 2007, George Englund filmed the documentary The Biography of Marlon Brando.
Littman is a keen animal lover and actively committed to animal protection volunteerism, and she is also a vegetarian who has shot a series of animal protection and vegetarian-themed public service announcements. Her autobiography, Cloris: My Autobiography, was published in March 2009.
