While that role showed off her incredible dramatic skills, Leachman is likely best remembered for her comedic roles, especially her scene-stealing performance as Frau Blucher in Young Frankenstein. Leachman got her big break in the movies with The Last Picture Show which won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role as neglected homemaker Ruth Popper. While some of the younger audience may not be as familiar with her work, it is likely they have seen her elsewhere as Leachman had a long and versatile career that spanned decades. While Jack Black's The Office cameo will have excited many fans who are familiar with the actor from his hit movies, there are plenty who would have been even more excited by the appearance of legendary actor Cloris Leachman.
