Unsinkable Terri Garr acts despite her ailments
By Susan King
July 3, 2008
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."

Good for her. If you know how, swimming is the best form of exercise,
bar none.

If you don't know how, it's potentially fatal.

Then it would be wise to learn to lessen the potential.

Don't know about all of Hollywood, but it certainly played an important
part in some of Linda Blair's scenes from "The Exorcist."

Many thanks for posting this.
Funny, I just felt the urge last night to watch "Close Encounters of
the Third Kind" again and I've been thinking of Terri nonstop.
Thinking of how young and vibrant she was in that movie... and hoping
and praying that she was doing well now.
She's still young and vibrant. God bless Terri. Long may she run....
