You loved her as Frau Blücher, Tillie Schaefer, Phyllis Lindstrom, Madame Defarge, Dot Richmond and a million other terrific roles; now actress Cloris Leachman is given the great honor of being selected as the grand marshal of the 2009 Rose Parade on New Year's Day.
The Oscar and multiple Emmy-winning actress is currently kicking up her heels on the ABC reality competition, "Dancing with the Stars," and holding her own with partner Corky Ballas, as much younger competition like Kim Kardashian is sent packing.
Variety reports that Ms. Leachman was selected by the Tournament of Roses organization to complement the theme of the 2009 festivities, "Hats Off to Entertainment."
"My grandkids are thrilled that I'm going to be part of a parade that is actually older than I am," Leachman said.
The venerated parade is aired around the world.
The 120th Rose Parade kicks off at 8 a.m. Jan. 1 in Pasadena, Calif., and precedes the 95th Rose Bowl football game.

I think she is a dirty mouth old broad. I'd hate to hear this stuff coming from my grandma.
