RIP Cloris.

Someone give me a whinny in remembrance.

OK, I'll ask.  What?  ???

[Gusington]

She was Frau Blucher (sp?) in Young Frankenstein and every time she appeared on screen a horse would whinny in the distance 

[Sir Slash]

 :DD  I'd forgotten about that.

^Classic, man. And hilarious every single time.

Found this on snopes.

Cloris Leachman, on NPR's "Fresh Air" on June 3, 2009, claimed that Mel Brooks told her that Blücher (as in Frau Blücher) means "glue" in German, hence the reason for the horse whinnies. However, this is not true: Blücher bears no resemblance to the German for glue. It's a very common name, so that shouting "Frau Blücher!" is essentially equivalent to shouting, "Ms. Jones!" According to supplementary information on the DVD, the horse's terror at her name is meant to show that she is a terrible and frightening person and, according to Gene Wilder, "Lord only knows what she does to them when no one is around".

God I miss Gene Wilder.

[Sir Slash]

And Marty Feldman.

[Gusington]

And Harvey Corman. You're not making me feel any better!
