“It was my privilege to work with Cloris Leachman, one of the most fearless actresses of our time,” Green told Page Six in a statement. “There was no one like Cloris. With a single glance, she had the ability to break your heart or make you laugh until the tears ran down your face. You never knew what Cloris would say or do and that the unpredictable quality was part of her unparalleled magic. ”
Green added that she “loved her children and her grandchildren immensely” and was “a lifelong vegetarian” and a passionate advocate for animal rights. ‘
Leachman died at her home with Englund by her side.
