She may have been joking, but for 83-year-old Cloris Leachman one can never tell. This octogenarian ball of energy has recently completed three feature films, written her autobiography, appeared on Dancing With The Stars, performed a one-woman show in hometown Des Moines, IA and launched a new clothing line.

Of her boundless enthusiasm for life Leachman quipped, “People keep asking me what I’m going to do next. I was thinking of getting pregnant or cloning myself, or both.”

Stop and think about that the next time you’re tempted to say (or think) “I’m too old for that.”
