Cloris Leachman Once ‘Challenged’ Mel Brooks to a Fight
January 28, 2021
Inside Edition was fortunate to have had a long relationship with legendary actress Cloris Leachman, who died Wednesday at the age of 94. We were there in 2007 with Leachman at Gleeson's Gym, where at age 81 she had something to prove. She playfully challenged Mel Brooks to a fight after he said he would not be casting her again for the Broadway version of his 1974 hit, Young Frankenstein, in which Leachman played Frau Blücher.
