My wife, who had never seen Young Frankenstein, didn’t crack a smile until she howled with laughter at the scene where Frau Blucher reveals her romantic entanglement. I love her for making my wife laugh. https://youtu.be/Ec8h_DojbMQ?t=75
Two great roles from when I was a kid. She had range.
Frau Blücher! Absolutely classic.
The coincidental timing was interesting with American Gods Season 3 Episode 2 airing recently.
Spoiler Alert
Oh, you’re so strict!
With very weird timing, they just aired the funeral for her character on American Gods.
I’ve had the song from High Anxiety stuck in my head ever since I heard the news. What a great and talented actress.
This quote gets regular rotation in my household.
OMG, I totally forgot she was in the FoL in later seasons!!!
Not all of us have seen it yet…
She was also the great-grandma in Raising Hope. She got her last Emmy nomination from it
He vas my boyfriend!
She was wonderfully crass in Malcom in the Middle, too.
Meh, adapting a 19 year old novel and such.
It’s got lots of stuff that’s not in the book, though.
I really loved her role in Sky High. She had great comic timing.
