Old-People Fight: Ed Asner vs. Cloris Leachman

When Vulture spoke to Cloris Leachman some time ago, she said that running into her Mary Tyler Moore Show co-star Ed Asner was painful because he was prone to insulting her in public. Turns out he doesn’t even need her there to do that! At a TCA panel this week, Asner groused about Leachman’s career accolades: “Cloris Leachman has eight Emmys? Is that true? Bitch … Well, if you wanna act nuts like she does.” The audience laughed, but as TV Guide noted, Asner appeared deadly serious about the over-the-top Raising Hope star. “I [won my Emmys] from straight developmental acting … nothing off the charts. That’s Cloris.” [TV Guide]
