For anyone else not in the know.
Madeline Gail Kahn (née Wolfson; September 29, 1942 – December 3, 1999) was an American actress, comedian, and singer. She is known for comedic roles in films directed by Peter Bogdanovich and Mel Brooks, including What's Up, Doc? (1972), Blazing Saddles (1974), Young Frankenstein (1974), High Anxiety (1977), History of the World, Part I (1981), and her Academy Award–nominated role in Paper Moon (1973).
I'm bad with names, and her face didn't hit right away, so I added the above to help others with the same issue.
I've personally seen all most of her movies, although it's been years for some of them.
All of them? An impressive feat. I tried to watch them all one time, having seen most of the good ones. Gave up after Yellowbeard. I don't think there exists a worse movie with as many great people in it.
Yellowbeard is one of those movies with a lot of potential and two or three funny jokes.
She was great in Paper Moon, which I need to watch again sometime. I’ve only seen part of Blazing Saddles because the DVD I got at the library was scratched all to hell and quit working.
OMG can you imagine if Khan's "he tasks me" monologue were done in the style of Mrs. White's from Clue?!?!?!? Holy shit that would be awesome.
(spoilers for both movies obviously, though only "sort of" for Clue)
Edit: @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world beat me to it
There was no editing or photoshop required for that original cleavage .... it was just a matter of swapping in a new head and face.
Soon AI will create that movie for us, with Khan being played by Sigourney Weaver, enabling a crossover to the Alien universe. I can't wait.
