Cloris Leachman made the most of her time in the spotlight.
But the 82-year old actress finally heard her name called last night, as Leachman and partner Corky Ballas were eliminated from Dancing with the Stars.
"I'm not leaving," the Oscar-winning actress declared before she was dismissed.
"I'm afraid you are," host Tom Bergeron replied.
And with that, Dancing with the Stars is down to six contestants.

Cloris Leachman is entertaining and all - but Dancing with the Stars producers want her the heck off their show.
That's what a show insider told The Chicago Sun-Times.
"We thought it would be fun to have Cloris on... and expected her to maybe make it through one or two weeks," said the source. "But now it's gone from people being amused - similar to the way it was with Jerry Springer - to being downright concerned."
What do you think? Has Cloris Leachman's time come?
The staffer added that officials assumed Leachman would be a goner this week.
"Everyone assumed it would be Cloris and not Toni Braxton who would be eliminated [Tuesday]. There was even some gallows humor going around today [in which] people joked it must be a whole lot of CBS, NBC and Fox executives getting everyone they know to vote for Cloris - to try and wreck the show.
Veteran actress Cloris Leachman, 82, is the oldest human being ever to take to the floor of Dancing With the Stars cast. Pretty cool.
Cody Linley, 18, best known for his work on Hannah Montana, is the youngest. He'll be dancing with Julianne Hough, lucky jackass.
Who do you think will go the longest without being sent home?
