| Webmaster Paul's Comments: | Gotta love Cloris. Take the scene in "High Anxiety" where she has Harvey Korman tied up in the closet. Good stuff! Appears that Mel Brooks loved her too - directing her not only in "High Anxiety", but also in "Young Frankenstein" and "History of the World: Part 1". | |
