Lets spred some love for the amazing Madeline Kahn. I have officially seen every single one of her movies. (I probably can't remeber every one, but I did.)
Now it's your turn to show your love for her.
"Flames! Flames! On the side of my face, burning!"
Or something like that. GREAT!
Love her as Mrs White.
Who doesn't love the late, great Ms. Kahn? Such a wonderful talent, sadly taken from us at such a young age. Luckily, she left behind a slew of beautiful and hilarious performances that will be treasured for a lifetime.
Her ad libbing during Clue is absolutely fantastic.
"you already got bone structure. when i was your age, i didn't have ANY bone structure."

Damn... I had no idea she died.
From reading IMDB, she was one of the first hosts to host SNL. I wish I could find that episode.
What a hilarious and talented lady! Absolutely love her in Young Frankenstein and The History Of The World. I absolutely LOVE her!

I only know her from Clue (which I loved her in). What's generally considered her best movie?
"i am not A eunice burns. i am THE eunice burns."
"howard, tell these people who i am!"

Eunice: "i'm not interested in romance , as time passes and romance fades you know what takes it place?"
Howard: "senility?"
Eunice: "TRUST!"
I actually fell out of my seat laughing the first time I saw Blazing Saddles - it was at the part when Lili Von Shtupp sang the "I'm Tired" song.
Brilliant actress, absolutely brilliant.
"tex, m'am? well, tell me, tex m'am, are you in show business??"
"yes. no. no. no. no. yes. no. no. no. no. yes. etc."
One of my favorite quotes of hers: "It's acceptable for men to act the fool. When women try, they're considered aggressive and opinionated."
and
"Actually, I hold a degree in speech therapy. I was going to get my doctorate but acting got in the way. Pity, I always thought I'd like to do something dignified."
