Teri Garr, Star of ‘Young Frankenstein’ and ‘Tootsie,’ Dies at 79

Teri Garr, the comic actress and singer who brought her buoyant personality to “Young Frankenstein” and was Oscar-nominated for “Tootsie,” died on Tuesday in Los Angeles after a long battle with multiple sclerosis. She was 79.

An influential performer to comedians including Tina Fey, Garr was a familiar face in dozens of TV shows and films of the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s. The actress revealed in 2002 that she had been diagnosed with MS, and she suffered an aneurysm in 2006.

After starting her career as a dancer, Garr first gained attention as Inga, the saucy assistant in Mel Brooks’ 1974 “Young Frankenstein,” who greeted Gene Wilder’s Dr. Frederick Frankenstein with the memorable “Vould you like to have a roll in ze hay?”

She played an identical role in a serious movie, Richard Dreyfuss’s wife in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

I like to think of her as ditzy, kinda hippy secretary Roberta Lincoln on the Star Trek TOS episode "Assignment: Earth" in what was supposed to have been a spinoff.
