One of my first crushes.

Sad to hear this news.

She was very good in Young Frankenstein - more than held her own amongst the other Mel Brooks regulars.

Roll, roll, roll in ze hay !

My wife reminded me she played John Denver’s wife in “Oh, God” with George Burns. (It was better than it sounds)

She says Teri Garr was an excellent person and is sad for that loss.

Teri Garr's cause of death explained: 'Subtle' symptoms that led to her diagnosis​

Garr’s cause of death was complications from multiple sclerosis, her publicist and friend Heidi Schaeffer told NBC News.

She’d also suffered a brain aneurysm in 2006 that left her in a coma for a week.

Multiple Sclerosis:
Garr said she had vague symptoms that started around the time she was filming “Tootsie” in the early 1980s — almost two decades before she was diagnosed.

“I would run, jog in the park, and I just started tripping. It was just like my toe — I would start to trip, and then that would go away. Then I would get some tingling in my arm,” she told CNN’s Larry King in 2002 when she first went public with her condition.

“It’s very hard to get a diagnosis and it’s very hard to find out — difficult to find out if you have this, because the things come and go and the things are subtle.”

Garr went to 11 doctors before she was finally diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1999, she told Closer Weekly.

The exact cause is a mystery, but genetic susceptibility, infectious disease and environmental factors may trigger the disease, according to The National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
