Teri Garr is dead at 79. A lot of people are commenting on how sexy she was in her heyday... I thought of her as merely cute in a bland way, and a decent actress in comedies like "Young Frankenstein" as well as more serious roles like her part in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Her TV career began with an episode of "Star Trek" ("Assignment: Earth"). She was apparently also a beloved talk-show guest for both Johnny Carson and David Letterman. She was slowed down by acute multiple sclerosis in the early 2000s. In 2006, she had a brain aneurysm that left her in a week-long coma, but her MS, which she'd suffered from since at least the 1980s (back when it was mild), is what took her down in the end. RIP.
