Actor: Cloris Leachman

Cloris Leachman won Best Supporting Actress for The Last Picture Show, playing a coach’s wife in an affair with a teenager, and the final scene is among the most quietly devastating in American film.

She won eight Emmy Awards, more than any performer at the time, and Young Frankenstein gave her Frau Blücher, whose name causes horses to react. Kiss Me Deadly gives her the opening scene, running barefoot on a highway.
