Teri Garr - who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in Tootsie - has passed away at the age of 79.
She is also known for her roles in Young Frankenstein, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, and as Phoebe's mother in iconic sitcom Friends.
The veteran actress passed away in Los Angeles on Tuesday after a long battle with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Great comedic timing and such a sweet smile. Unfortunately, she suffered from MS for many years so now she is released from her pain (but she did have some nice knockers).
ReplyDeleteAlways thought she was hot.
ReplyDeleteI crushed hard on her when I was in my 20s. Loved the way she smiled with her whole face.
DeleteIt's a blessing getting older, it's a bitch getting old. She was very cute in Young Frankenstein.
Delete"...she smiled with her whole face." What a wonderful description.
Delete"What knockers!" "Why, thank you, Doctor!"
ReplyDeleteRIP Teri. You brought us much laughter.
yeah, that was my first thought about her as well. and that will always be in my film collection. and "put the candle back " still kills me.
Delete“He vould haff an enormous schwanstücker!” “Well, that goes without saying.”
DeleteBest line in the entire movie, with the look on her face.

She was a good actress
ReplyDeleteRest in Peace Teri

One of the good ones.
ReplyDeleteObviously good looking, but not in a trashy way and intelligent. Lucky partners.
RIP.
She was wonderful. I think she was best in Young Frankenstein... I mean Fronkunschteen. I think if even one thing in that movie were changed, the whole thing would be ruined. It was perfect, perfect, perfect. RIP
ReplyDeleteThe radio trailer for YF ws hilarious. Mel: "The crickets loved it (Cricket chirping). Er, critics."
DeleteInga und Herr Doktor are havink a roll in ze hay!
ReplyDeleteRoll, roll, roll in ze hay!
DeleteNot her. Grimm Reaper needs to be talked to about his selections. Congress must have some sort of dome over them. I am getting old apparently. I need to stop procrastinating.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going until they pave the path with their bodies.
DeleteMy favorite was her part as the secretary in “Assignment: Earth” Star Trek. Never saw her in anything I did not like her character
ReplyDeleteMister Seven : Where is 347?
DeleteTeri Garr as Roberta Lincoln : With 348?
I still laugh when I see that scene.
I too had a hard crush on her. I get to suffer as she did, I too have MS and it is a stone cold bitch. You wake up and don't know which body part(s) aren't going to work that day, especially frustrating when you can't see, but half a day later or the next day your leg doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteShould have included
ReplyDeleteSecretary to agent Gary Seven.
ReplyDeleteThe plan was to make a spin off from that episode. With "Gary Seven" and Teri.
DeleteShe was one of the dancers in Elvis Presley's Viva Las Vegas!
ReplyDeleteTonight is either young Frankenstein or Mr. Mom..."you heard the champagne chilling in the background ". RIP.
ReplyDeleteShe was very attractive, reminds me of my wife, and Mr. Mom is still fun to watch..
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Mr. Wire-Cutter. Teri Garr, is, was, always will be, a bright ray of light in this otherwise dark, dank world.

ReplyDeleteThe only major figures from Young Frankenstein left are Gene Hackman (the blind monk) and Mel Brooks, himself - who is 98 years old, bless him
ReplyDeleteWhen I say her in Star Trek, I fell in love with her. Always followed her through her films. So beautiful she is.
ReplyDeleteHeltau
I watched Young Frankenstein at the movies --I realized that I liked girls when Gene Wilder uttered the memorable "nice knockers" and Teri Garr replied "why thank you, doctor" giving a nine year old boy his first glimpse of a sexy décolletage.
ReplyDeleteUnderstand that she was a groupie with the Beatles in London during the 60s…
