Enclosure not present. Garr played Inga in the 1974 film, Young Frankenstein. In 1989, the year she signed this document, Garr was seen on the big screen in Out Cold and Let It Ride. Actress Teri Garr (1947-2024) found early visibility with a mixture of dramatic and comic roles before maturing into her persona as a smart comedienne typecast as an eccentric ditz. Her first major film role was The Conversation, then Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein (both in 1974). From there she played mothers and wives in such high-profile films as Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Oh, God! (1977) and The Black Stallion (1979). It wasn't until Tootsie in 1981 that Garr became recognized for her knack for playing charmingly sweet airheads. Her television work includes a recurring role as Lisa Kudrow's mother on Friends. Garr, who has been battling multiple sclerosis since 1983, published an autobiography detailing her career and struggle with the disease in 2005. Lightly creased with folds, not at signatures. Chipped at upper blank edge, staple holes at mid-upper margin. Fine condition.
