Cloris Leachman was spotted out in a wheelchair at an L.A. charity event, sparking fears that she’s facing her sad final days!
The beloved 89-year-old actress, who co-starred on the “Mary Tyler Moore Show” and won America’s hearts with a brave 2008 performance on “Dancing With the Stars,” needed a wheelchair when she attended the Last Chance for Animals fund-raiser in Los Angeles.
“I love Cloris,” says one insider.
“I don’t know why she’s in a wheelchair, but I pray she’s okay. You just have to hope this isn’t the end for the wonderful lady.”
Cloris underwent a grueling regimen when she appeared on “Dancing.”
Friends warned her to slow down because of her advancing years, but Cloris wouldn’t hear of it.
She loved competing and kept up a frantic pace — even though she was the oldest contestant to ever appear on the show!
“You have to wonder if it took a toll on her,” the insider said.
"That show is difficult for a lot of people — let alone someone in their 80s!”
Two years after the show ended, Cloris was photographed using a metal walker to get around.
But she's bravely kept working and frequently appeared on the sitcom “Raising Hope,” which went off the air in 2014.
She appeared on “Celebrity Wife Swap” this summer, where she used the wheelchair to get around.
When viewers expressed concern, the show put out the word she was suffering from a sprained ankle.
“That was back in July,” the insider said.
“Here we are four months later, and she’s still in the wheelchair!
"Sadly, you now have to wonder what’s really wrong with her.”
