Cloris Leachman — 1926
Since Cloris Leachman became a finalist in the 1946 Miss America pageant, she received a scholarship to study acting at the Actors Studio in NYC. Even if she was noted from the pageant or not, Leachman would’ve easily found success in Hollywood as she possesses a robust set of skills suited for the industry.
We guess it’s safe to say that she has mastered making a career out of acting as she currently has over 285 credits. Her latest appearances were as Hool in Elena of Avalor and Margaret in Jump, Darling. Leachman is also expected to appear in High Holiday and Not To Forget soon.
