Actress Terri Garr died yesterday after a long battle with multiple sclerosis. She was 79.
Her credits include “Young Frankenstein”, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, “Tootsie”, “Mr. Mom”, “The Player”, and “Dumb and Dumber”.
She died Tuesday in L.A. after revealing she was diagnosed with MS twenty years ago. After suffering an aneurysm in 2006, five years later, she retired from acting.
Over her 40-year career, Terri has over 150 credits.
Teri’s “Young Frankenstein” director Mel Brooks Tweeted, quote, “So very sorry to hear about Teri Garr’s passing. She was so talented and so funny. Her humor and lively spirit made the YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN set a pleasure to work on. Her ‘German’ accent had us all in stitches! She will be greatly missed.”
