Cloris Leachman's final scene in "The Last Picture Show" (1971) was filmed without any rehearsal. She wanted to rehearse the scene but Peter Bogdanovich was against the idea as he thought that it would ruin the scene.
Bogdanovich was so happy with the first take, he said to her, "Cut, print, you just won the Oscar.’
Leachman replied, ‘I can do it better.’
Then Bogdanovich said, ‘No, you can’t.’
Bogdanovich felt that way since the scene was so fresh and she was shaking. He knew she couldn’t possibly do it better. She could hardly breathe after filming the scene.
He was proved right when she won the Oscar for her performance.
P.S: Remembering Cloris Leachman on her 100th birthday!

It's inversely related to vehicle size. That's why Kim hates the Clown Car.
It's also why nurses were fighting to hold my dicq while I peed in the ER when I was temporally paralyzed a couple months ago.

I now identify as an itinerate plumber
According to world socialist website I am a helpless quadriplegic being kept alive by random candies offered by passersby in some godforsaken east coast rail terminal.
