Edie McClurg (born July 23, 1951 in Kansas City, Missouri) is an American actress.

McClurg is known for a number of roles, including an incompetent secretary in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Lucille Tarlek on WKRP in Cincinnati, next door neighbor Patti Poole on The Hogan Family, next-door neighbor Bonnie Brindle on Small Wonder, and the car rental agent whom Steve Martin berates in Planes, Trains & Automobiles. McClurg can be seen in nearly 90 movies and 55 TV episodes, most likely playing a middle-aged somewhat stubborn/idiotic woman (usually from the Midwest, or more specifically Minnesota because of her dialect). She began her career doing additional voices for The Jetsons and was recently in Cars, providing the voice for Minny.

She can now be heard as the voice of Fran the squirrel on Higglytown Heroes on The Disney Channel and as Mrs. Claus in Holidaze: The Christmas that Almost Didn't Happen.

Known for her really thick Minnesota accent.

Perhaps one of her best known moments is her two word replies to Steve Martin's ranting monologue in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles".
