HOLLYWOOD - When rumors started circulating in the late 1990s that she
had multiple sclerosis, actress Teri Garr discovered a lot of Hollywood
was afraid to even meet with her about potential acting gigs.
Although she managed to keep working, interviews went from rare to
nonexistent for the popular comedic actress who was Oscar-nominated for
Tootsie.
"When you hear the word 'disabled,' people immediately think about
people who can't walk or talk or do everything that people take for
granted," Garr said in a recent interview. "Now, I take nothing for
granted. But I find the real disability is people who can't find joy in
life and are bitter."
