I’ve seen quite a few mentions of her passing, all very laudatory of Terri. None that I’ve seen mention that she was in an episode of the original Star Trek series. It was a pilot for a spin-off series with Robert Lansing that unfortunately was not picked up by the network.
I’ll always remember Garr as Inga in Young Frankenstein saying “Put zhe candle back!”
My favorite Teri Garr performance was in “The Black Stallion”. Her son, rescued and restored from presumed-dead after a shipwreck, has snuck out of her home to the newly built stable where he’s sleeping next to the horse, also rescued. Garr talks to the horse …
I don’t mind it as much here, at least for award show categories–best acting thing, best supporting acting thing. Calling every acting thing an actor is surprisingly reasonable from Hollywood–I would have expected them to make up new words for the top 57 most popular pronouns. As it stands, it seems like they want to make “actor” the generic.
Actrix. In the vein of Harlan Ellison (I think) using the word “editrix” in front of s suddenly angry female-containing audience. I, on the other hand, got away with addressing a similar audience with the phrase, “brethren and sestrin…”
The ranks of the screen goddesses of my long-fled youth grow ever thinner. Just in the last two years Gina Lollobrigida, Raquel Welch, Stella Stevens, Gena Rowlands and Mitzi Gaynor have departed and, now, Teri Garr. Angie Dickinson, Tina Louise, Julie Newmar, Sophia Loren, Claudia Cardinale, Barbara Eden, Rita Moreno, Debra Paget, Nancy Kovack, Barbara Bouchet, Kim Novak, Tippi Hedren, Caroline Munro and Eva Marie Saint are all still hanging in there, but all are in their 80s or 90s except for Saint who is already past the century mark. More bad news seems inevitable before much more time has passed.

Some of the coverage has noted that.
Very sad.

She’ll be missed.
That said, the article commits one of the linguistic sins that I find so grating nowadays. She wasn’t an “actor”, she was an “actress”!
So tired of the constant effort to erase all sex-based distinctions in the West.
