After studying at the Actors Studio, she appeared in Peter Bogdanovich's drama film The Last Picture Show (1971), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. She also received two nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for the comedy films Charley and the Angel (1973) and Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (1974), and a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Female Actor in a Supporting Role for the romantic comedy Spanglish (2004).
From 1970 to 1975, Leachman starred in The Mary Tyler Moore Show as Phyllis Lindstrom, Mary Richards' snobbish, self-absorbed and interfering friend and downstairs neighbor. The role earned her two Primetime Emmy Awards for both Outstanding Supporting Actress and Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. In 1975, Leachman left the show to star in the spin-off series Phyllis (1975–1977), which won her the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy. Her other Emmy Award–winning work includes the television film A Brand New Life (1973), special appearances in the variety sketch show Cher (1975), the ABC Afterschool Special production The Woman Who Willed a Miracle (1983), and the drama series Promised Land (1998), and a recurring role as Ida in Malcolm in the Middle (2000–2006).
