Before there was Martha Stewart ...

There was Leona Helmsley, the so-called "Queen of Mean" who once famously proclaimed: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes."

But all people die, even rich hoteliers; Helmsley passed away earlier today.

Honor her memory by watching this clip of Suzanne Pleshette (portraying Helmsley) chewing up scenery and chewing out the little people.
