Teri Garr, the beloved actress celebrated for her wit, humor, and natural charm, passed away on October 29, 2024, at the age of 79. Born December 11, 1944, in Ohio, Garr's early fascination with dance led her to Hollywood, where she began her career as a dancer in musicals and Elvis Presley films before moving into acting. Her breakthrough role came in Young Frankenstein (1974), where her comedic brilliance as Inga, Dr. Frankenstein’s alluring assistant, captivated audiences and established her as a comedic powerhouse.
