Emmy and Oscar award-winning actress, Cloris Leachman has died at the age of 94.

EKO HOT BLOG gathered that her publicist, Monique Moss in a statement disclosed the actress died in her sleep of natural causes at her home in Encinitas, California.

The statement Reads;

“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.

“We pray that God grants rest to her soul,” .

Prior to her death, Leachman  won a supporting actress Oscar in the early part of the decade for a far different character, an embittered small-town housewife in Peter Bogdanovich’s elegiac “The Last Picture Show”.

Overnight success for the actress, however, came only after two decades of hard work in theater, television and some films. Leachman was in her 40s when stardom finally hit.

Although she started out as Miss Chicago in the Miss America Pageant, Leachman willingly accepted unglamorous screen roles.
