Actress Teri Garr
Teri Garr is probably best known for her role in Mel Brooks Young Frankenstein, but she's worked with other well known directors and has made many films. Her first movie role was in Francis Coppola's The Conversation. She was in Stephen Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Sydney Pollack's Tootsie. Before becoming an actress, Garr was a dancer, following in the footsteps of her mother, who was a Rockette. Garr danced in several Elvis Presley films, on The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, and on the show Shivaree. In 2002, she was diagnosed with MS after dealing with symptoms for twenty years. Her memoir is titled Speedbumps: Flooring It Through Hollywood.
