KC native Edie McClurg interview by Brian Ellison

Maybe you remember her as Grace, the principal’s secretary in "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off", or perhaps as the indomitable Mrs. Poole on “The Hogan Family.” From celebrity game show appearances to character actor gigs over four decades, everyone knows Edie McClurg. But did you know she was born and began her career here in Kansas City? Today, KCUR’s Brian Ellison catches up with the stage and screen personality about her iconic roles, her work with the late John Hughes, her new work on HBO, her foray into the blogosphere, and a lifetime in the entertainment industry.
