I love her so much! Remember her as Lili von Shtupp in Blazing Saddles?

I don't believe I'd ever caught the "and always too soon" bit. That's awesome! From her stage show (in Blazing Saddles) I remember mostly her backup singers: "she's tired, she's really really tired" but singing it really, really fast!

A vastly under-rated actor and comedian; she should have been a much bigger star.

Madeleine Kahn ruled!
