Madeline Kahn

Madeline Kahn (September 29, 1942 - December 3, 1999) was an Academy Award-nominated Jewish American actress of movie, television, and theater distinguished by an unusual gift for comedy. In the April 2006 issue of "Premiere" magazine, her performance as Lili von Shtupp in "Blazing Saddles" was selected as number 31 on its list of the 100 greatest performances of all time.

Late in her career, Kahn returned to the stage. She received a Tony Award for her role as "Dr. Gorgeous" in Wendy Wasserstein's 1993 play "The Sisters Rosensweig".
