#TeriGarr, who was Oscar-nominated for her supporting role in #Tootsie and also lent her comedic charm to #YoungFrankenstein, #MrMom and #CloseEncountersoftheThirdKind, has died at age 79. She had suffered for years with Multiple Sclerosis after being diagnosed with the degenerative disease in 1999. Garr was “surrounded by family and friends” at the time of her death, publicist Heidi Schaeffer told the Associated Press on Tuesday. The actress previously said she first started noticing symptoms of MS while she was in New York filming “Tootsie” in 1982. After she revealed her diagnosis years later, she became a National Ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and National Chair for the Society’s Women Against MS program (WAMS). In December 2006, Garr suffered a brain aneurysm that left her in a coma for a week, but recovered her speech and motor skills after therapy. Link in bio to read more.
