Teri Garr Dead: ‘Young Frankenstein’ Actress Dies at 79


The late actress was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis about 20 years before her death.

The late actress’ death was confirmed by her manager, Marc Gurvitz, to CNN on Tuesday, October 29. During a 2002 interview with CNN, Teri explained her battle with MS. After she had visited 11 doctors and felt body pain for years, she noted that there was “not a lot of information out there about” MS and “a lot of people don’t know that it’s not that bad.” The illness can lead to permanent damage of the nerve fibers in the central nervous system.
