Teri Garr, 'Young Frankenstein' and 'Tootsie' star, dies at 79
Younger viewers may be more familiar with Garr thanks to her recurring role on the NBC sitcom “Friends” as Lisa Kudrow’s estranged mother.
The year 1974 was pivotal: Garr delivered a supporting turn in Francis Ford Coppola's "The Conversation" and played Gene Wilder's German-accented assistant, Inga, in Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein," a black-and-white spoof of Hollywood horror flicks. Garr also teamed up with Martin Scorsese ("After Hours") and Robert Altman ("Prêt-à-Porter"); Coppola made her the center of the surrealist 1982 musical "One from the Heart," a box-office disaster that contemporary critics have positively reappraised. Garr's early small-screen work included appearances on the 1960s incarnation of "Batman," an episode of the original "Star Trek" and the variety show "The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour."
