Cloris Leachman Is Ready to Rumba

Like Freak Nasty said, “Don't even matter your age…I put my hand upon your hip, When I dip, you dip, we dip.”

Cloris Leachman, 82, arrives at the premiere of her new film The Women (she’s far and away the best part of the film, which is kind of like being the tallest person in Munchkinland) with her Dancing with the Stars partner Corky Ballas.

Annette Benning is already campaigning for her co-star. “She’s going to win! Winner! I predict right now,” Benning said.

“I was the best jitterbugger in high school,” Cloris said of her dance background “and then we would dance when the big bands would come through Des Moines, Iowa. We’d dance outside on this huge platform at night, under the stars, while the big bands played during World War II and that was the most fun, romantic time. But it certainly is nothing like professional ballroom.”
