The Secret History Of Madeline Kahn

[@rmerrida]

"Flames, flames, out the sides of my face." 🤣 No other woman, dead or alive, could have done a better job delivering that line. Breaks my heart to hear Madeline had such a hard time with self esteem issues in real life. I just hope she had some idea of how much she helped people laugh, and how much she was loved because of that.

[@nightgoblin29]

I'm 51 now and remember her seeing as a child for the first time, and it was the funniest woman I ever saw... and none have topped it for me ever!

[@Ravenoflight2275]

Her roll as Lily in Blazing Saddles is my favorite character in that movies .

[@c.d.macaulay66]

I had the great good fortune to see her twice onstage. One was her Tony winning performance as Dr. Gorgeous Teitlebaum in The Sisters Rosenzweig. The other was in the Judy Holiday role in Born Yesterday. A role she was born to play. She was brilliant in both. Not to mention that hilarious sketch on SNL as Mawena Dietwich opposite Gilda’s Baba Wawa. A truly talented and funny woman. Like Gilda, her death hurt. Wish she were still around to make me laugh. RIP.

[@deborahswanson3457]

She was wonderful! Gone too soon, RIP.

[@Lovegun.]

She is probably the most beautiful funny and sweet woman I've ever had the pleasure to witness. And what a voice. She was definitely too good for today's world. Her role in Clue was one of the funniest things Ive ever seen . Just a all round incredible woman. Rest well Madeline...x

She was awesome in Yellow Beard , absolutly brilliant performance

[@ogarcia515]

She was also great in "What's Up Doc?"

[@milojanis4901]

Hard to believe she's been gone so long. 💔

[@alanl1577]

Lili Von Shtupp from Blazing Saddles was her most humorous role. Very funny as the Empress Nympho in History of the World Pt 1 as well!

[@markjohnson9485]

This is wonderful tribute to a beautiful soul who left us to soon rest in peace Madeline. My favorite Madeline Khan film "Sherlock Holmes smarter brother " with Gene Wilder

[@moses3387]

She was so beautiful, loved her in paper moon 🌙

[@c.d.macaulay66]

She had the best line in trying to persuade Addie, who is petulantly sitting on the side of a hill, back into the car. “Come on down, honey, and let Trixie with the big tits sit in front.” Priceless. Heartbreaking in a way, but priceless.

[@sharhune2735]

Loved her in Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Clue. She went way to young and had such talent. Wish she had a better mother, nothing worse than a vicious parent.

[@OneSon744]

or a vicious child.

[@wallacelang1374]

I remember Madeline Kahn doing a spoof of Marlene Dietrich in Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles". My mom and I watched her on the "Cosby" sitcom in the 1990s. She is missed.

[@frankjohnson5936]

Really liked her,she had real talent,cant believe she left us so early in her life RIP WIll be seeing ya

[@tomg4753]

She was a great gal. Fine singer, actor, comedian and when she passed way before her time, really felt the loss.

[@seabreeze9296]

i loved her as Eunice in "What's Up Doc", and Lily in "Blazing Saddles"

[@sonnyhoward9103]

God bless Madeline Khan she was an awesome actress and singer very beautiful

[@rebekahlafever333]

One of my fav actresses! Thank you so much... ...💙 YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN

[@NickyMay16]

She should have won and Oscar for What's Up Doc? The scene where she is dragged out of the ballroom screaming was hilarious.

[@Ravenoflight2275]

Her roll as Lily in Blazing Saddles is my favorite.

[@rangerrick816]

My favorite performance was as Estie Del Ruth in " Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood", however I thought she was terrific in everything I saw her in - she is missed.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

It’s twoo, it’s twoo, beautiful and funny what a wonderful mix, sadly missed

[@Allison_White]

I loved her in What’s Up Doc with Barbara Streisand & Ryan O’Neil !

[@OziBlokeTimG]

She's such a darling. I limerantly love her forever 💕...

[@annjefferson682]

playing Gracie with George Burns!! Hilarious.

[@markquick3332]

Loved her in what's up doc!

[@raraavis1984]

This video says "She was born Madeline Gail Kahn" and it also says "She changed her professional name to Madeline Kahn”. Both incorrect. She was born Madeline Gail Wolfson. Her father was Bernard Wolfson. Her parents divorced when she was 2 yrs old, and her mother’s 2nd husband, Hiller Kahn, adopted Madeline when she was 10 or 11 years old. Hiller Kahn was the father of her younger brother Jeffrey Kahn. Her biological father, Bernard, also remarried and had another daughter, giving Madeline a half sister named Robin Wolfson. Her brother Jeffrey was probably the person she was most closest to in her life.

Raise awareness? I’m pretty sure we are quite aware of ovarian cancer as well as the hundred other areas effected by cancer.

[@unowen-nh9ov]

Evidently not, since trans women can no more be @ risk to gynecological or ovarian cancers than they can die giving birth, cramps & bleeding monthly, hot flashes, menopause or feet in stirrups, yet feminist wife, mother & author gets hate & her life threatened for taking issue with "people who menstruate". Cancer? Some people are unaware of human biology & how we all came to be.

OMG.. This is typical AI generated nonsense.
