Terry Garr Has Passed Away

[toobfreak]

She was 79. Reports say she died of multiple sclerosis.

I always liked her in her many roles especially her first TV role as Roberta Lincoln the confused secretary on Star Trek (which was actually shot as a spin-off pilot for a new show that did not sell).

RIP, Terry.

Teri Garr, 'Young Frankenstein' and 'Tootsie' star, dies at 79

Younger viewers may be more familiar with Garr thanks to her recurring role on the NBC sitcom “Friends” as Lisa Kudrow’s estranged mother.

Sorry to hear enjoyed her in her roles

 

[BackAgain]

Maybe favorite line of hers in that great movie, Young Frankenstein:

Dr. Frankenstein : “What knockers!”

Her: “thank you, Doctor.”

Sad to hear
She was a great comedic actress who could turn on the sexpot when needed.

I know she has struggled with MS in recent years and it is a tough fight.

She made her mark

She played the cute ditsy blonde as well as anyone. RIP

Isn't it remarkable that actors are culturally frozen in time by their films. I will always think of her at her best - the Young Frankenstein character and such. Don't even want to think of her as a 79-year-old crone.

She was great in Young Frankenstein.

She WAS sort of the quintessential cute ditsy blond. I saw her on Johnny Carson once and her mind just fluttered around like a butterfly.

She put on a lot of weight and looked like a chunky grandmother in her elder years, no doubt due to illness.

I never saw the latter, it sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out. I saw Mom once and didn't care for it but I might like it more now.

Now she is with our Lord and Savior. One day we will all be so lucky.

One From the Heart is Coppola's love letter to the musicals of the 1940s. His studio, Zoetrope, almost went bankrupt on it. I'm a film geek, so I liked it, but it's not for everyone.

She was taking steroids for the MS
It made her puff up

She was open about her illness and did not try to hide it

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

She was very good.

Well, I read that it is about Terri and her boyfriend having a fight so going their own ways each exploring other relationships and that sounded like it might be interesting, plus, you just can't beat a 40s musical.

And there are a lot of good movies out there done by famous actors I never saw and TV keeps showing the same stuff--- so, it wouldn't hurt to see a new Terri Garr movie especially now that she is gone.
