THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, Cloris Leachman, 1971

Leachman’s career began after she competed in the 1946 Miss America Pageant when she made her debut on the Actors Studio TV series. However, she really had her breakthrough on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in the ’70s after years of holding minor roles. This ultimately led to her own spinoff called Phyllis based on the character she played.
