Timeline
Madeline Kahn was born Madeline Gail Wolfson of Russian Jewish descent on September 29, 1942 in Boston, Massachusetts, to Freda Goldberg (later known as Paula Kahn), who was still in her teens, and Bernard B. Wolfson, a garment manufacturer. She began her acting career in high school and went on to university where she trained as an opera singer and starred in several campus productions, ultimately earning a doctorate in her chosen field.
Moved to New York with her mother, who wanted to pursue a singing career, when she was around 5 years old. Attended the Manumit School in New York from 1948 to 1953.
Graduated 3rd in her class in 1960 from Martin Van Buren High School in Queens, New York (where she was raised) and from Hofstra University (which she attended on a drama scholarship). Held a degree in speech therapy and reportedly initially intended to become a teacher.
Kahn's best-known work came in Paper Moon (1973) with Ryan O'Neal, which was followed the next year by Mel Brooks's outrageous Blazing Saddles (1974) as Lili Von Shtupp, a cabaret singer who was obviously based on Marlene Dietrich's performance in Destry Rides Again (1939). Kahn was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in both movies.
Her performance as Lili von Shtupp in Blazing Saddles (1974) is ranked #74 on Premiere magazine's 100 Greatest Performances of All Time (2006).
Nominated for the 1978 Tony Award (New York City) for Actress in a Musical for "On the Twentieth Century".
She improvised the now infamous "flames, flames on the side of my face.." speech in Clue (1985).
She won a People's Choice Award for her television series, "Oh Madeleine", and a 1987 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performer in Children's Programming for ABC Afterschool Specials: Wanted: The Perfect Guy (1986). She won Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Circle awards in 1993 for her performance in "The Sisters Rosensweig". She had three other Tony nominations: "In the Boom, Boom Room" (1974), "On the Twentieth Century" (1978), and "Born Yesterday" (1989).
Nominated for the 1989 Tony Award (New York City) for Actress in a Play/Comedy for "Born Yesterday".
Won the 1993 Tony Award (New York City) for Actress in a Drama for "The Sisters Rosensweig".
In 1998, she lent her voice to the character of "Gypsy" in A Bug's Life (1998).
