Cloris Leachman just wants to have fun on 'Dancing With the Stars'
Feisty Cloris Leachman has been raising more than a few eyebrows during her unexpectedly long run on ABC's popular ballroom competition Dancing With the Stars.
Randily approaching the show's three-judge panel showing some leg (and occasionally other body parts), sarcastically putting down rival competitors or explaining on live TV that one performance drew inspiration from a "skanky ho," Leachman, 82, isn't the best celebrity hoofer, but she's arguably the most unpredictably entertaining.
While Dancing's judges have consistently ranked her and her professional partner, Corky Ballas, near the bottom among competitors, Leachman has drawn enough viewer votes to survive six eliminations.
"The fact that I'm still on is a (expletive) miracle," says Leachman, who over seven decades of acting has won an Oscar and nine Emmys. "I suppose (viewers) see fun and hope and happiness."
As far as her post-dance shenanigans, Leachman says they're spontaneous. "Something comes over me — I don't know what it is," she says. "If I've made people mad, I'm sorry. All my life, I've been a cut-up. I'm just having fun."
The show's executive producer, Conrad Green, denies reports that crewmembers or dancers are upset with Leachman's behavior. Instead, he says, they have taken her frolicking in stride.
"She's 82, but she's mischievous and has this uncanny ability to make people laugh," Green says. "We never know what to expect with her. But that's what live TV is about."
Ballas says that teaching Leachman ballroom moves was painful at first; he even moved her to a windowless practice studio to keep onlookers from distracting her.
But Leachman has been getting stronger and more proficient, says the professional dancer. "There are days we haven't danced because of her blood pressure. She's had some knee, rib and foot problems. But she never complains — even when I tried to get her to do a cartwheel."

Yay Cloris! :hearts: Love her even if she's not the best dancer. But hey, she's ranked #4...awesome for an 82 yr lady! :yess:
As the dances become more intense and difficult, she will probably falter and get the boot, but until then, I will continue to support her for her sincere efforts and ENTERTAINMENT!
Wow, I hope I'm that energetic when I reach 82! Kudos to her! :jumpy:

An update from Julianne:
JULIANNE HOUGH ANNOUNCEMENT
Julianne Hough, Mercury Nashville recording artist and two time “Dancing with the Stars” champion has been diagnosed with Endometriosis and will be undergoing minor surgery to remove her appendix. Hough experienced mild stomach pains last week and was taken to Cedars Sinai medical center. After consulting with her doctor, this course of treatment was recommended. Hough will address the surgery on Monday night’s “Dancing with the Stars” where she’ll perform with celebrity partner Cody Linley.
Endometriosis is the development of uterine-lining tissue outside the uterus on the surfaces of organs in the pelvis or abdomen where they are not supposed to grow. It is a common medical condition found in 5-10% of women of reproductive age around the world.
