Croaking it 2024

Apologies for the double post, but Teri Garr has passed away at 79. 

She was in a bunch of stuff and is probably best remembered for films like Young Frankenstein, Tootsie and as being Phoebe's mother in Friends. I read that she had multiple sclerosis, which greatly affected how much she could work starting in the 90s. Despite that, she was in loads of good things and was quite funny in supporting roles as neurotic characters who had the potential to steal the show. I think, particularly, of the vengeful waitress in After Hours who tries to take down Paul Hackett after he rejects her advances.

RIP.

Enjoyed her work most in Young Frankenstein (I BET YOU DID CARBOMB YOU DIRTY OLD BOLLOCKS ETC), but she was great in Tootsie, and I did love just how well she nailed being Phoebe's mum, right down to the mannerisms. 

RIP Teri Garr
