The remark hurt and angered me. I'm a person, not garbage. In the early 70's book about fat bias called "Shadow On A Tightrope", Leachman was quoted at the very beginning as saying:

Everyone knows she will not come close to winning so its a waste of time. Last year everyone knew who would win during the first show.

At my age (58) I am at awe at individuals who are still maximizing their life at such an age. People, give yourselves a few more years and then let's see if DWTS is in your realm of physical possibilities......Go Cloris....my mom is 82 and can still dance with the best.

Perhaps ABC needs to pander to us baby boomers in a more realistic way, like Dancing with the Stars Boomer Edition?
