Mary Tyler Moore Show Actor Cloris Leachman Has Died

Legnedary actor Cloris Leachman has died, aged 94.

The Emmy and Oscar-winning entertainer died in her sleep of natural causes at her Californian home.

A statement has been released by her longtime manager Juliet Green.

Ms Green told Entertainment Tonight: "It's been my privilege to work with Cloris Leachman, one of the most fearless actresses of our time. There was no one like Cloris. With a single look she had the ability to break your heart or make you laugh 'till the tears ran down your face.

"You never knew what Cloris was going to say or do and that unpredictable quality was part of her unparalleled magic."

"She loved her children and her grandchildren ferociously. A lifelong vegetarian, she was a passionate advocate for animal rights," the statement continues. "The family requests that any donations in her name be made to PETA or Last Chance for Animals."
