Leachman Lets 'Vegetarianism Grow On' Her for PETA

Renowned actress and entertainer Cloris Leachman has taken a very naturalistic approach for her new ad for PETA encouraging a vegetarian lifestyle. She is "wrapped head from head to toe" in greens.

Wearing a dress made entirely of cabbage and lettuce leaves, Leachman (who gave up eating meat over 40 years ago) hopes to encourage people to "Let Vegetarianism Grow on You."

Photographer Robert Sebree lent his talent to the shoot, which perfectly captures the grace and humor of the comedy icon and her message.

The Golden Globe and nine-time Emmy winning actress and entertainer is more popular than ever. Leachman was most recently the Grand Marshal of the Rose Parade and a feisty show stopper on "Dancing with the Stars". Leachman, originated the role of Frau Blucher in Mel Brooks' classic film Young Frankenstein.

The actress won the Oscar for 1971's The Last Picture Show, has won eight Emmy Awards, with one for "Malcolm in the Middle" being her latest. She famously played Phyllis on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," and her many Broadway credits include A Touch of the Poet, King of Hearts and As You Like It.
