Terri Garr passed away on Tuesday, October 29th, 2024 at her home in Los Angeles. She was a brilliant comedian on script and off the cuff. A professional dancer at an early age she was in numerous Elvis Presley movies. Her performance in the 1968 Star Trek episode, Assignment: Earth with Robert Lansing launched her career in Hollywood. Her eyes could convey more meanings than some actors entire bodies. She was in Mel Brooks Young Frankenstein in 1974 and Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters Of The Third Kind in 1977. Also in Sydney Pollack's Tootsie in 1982. She performed everything from comedy to drama and hosted Saturday Night Live three times in the 80s.
