The world is now less two talented women

First Cloris Leachman and now Cicely Tyson.

Leachman really was terrific in Last Picture Show, as well as her other major parts. Tyson had several memorable roles -- what kid didn't cry their eyes out watching Sounder.

Not only talented, but strong, resilient, and beautiful. Rest in Power, ladies.

What I remember most about Cloris Leachman is how horrible she was as she sat and gave an interview stating that she hated looking at fat people. She does not deserve an abundance of kind words.
