Gene Hackman is definitely still alive of the more prominent cast. There’s also some of the bit actors like the med school students that are still alive.
Oh yeah! She was terrific in that. She definitely could do drama and comedy equally well. She was good in The Conversation, the Coppola thriller with Gene Hackman.
And, of course, there was her role on Star Trek.
Assignment: Earth never becoming a series like Roddenberry wanted is one of TV's great missed opportunities.
She also did some cool VO work. She was Terry's (the new Batman) mom in Batman Beyond.
Edit: I forgot she was also in The Black Stallion! I haven't thought about that movie since I was a kid.
In the early days of Late Night With David Letterman he would interview Terri Gar and embarrass her to the point where she would cry. I really hated him for that
Well fuck. This is a gut punch for a Tuesday. I just watched Close Encounters the other day and my partner was amazed at how good she was as a mother at the end of her rope. She was an incredible talent who will be missed.
Are you my wife? We watched it the night we saw the comet. The kids watched it with us for the first time and loved it. Tell your husband some other woman's husband says hi.
I initially was like, oh, One From The Heart. And then of course Young Frankenstein. Also a Monkees movie where Jack Nicholson had a screenwriting credit.

What knockers!
Oh thank you, doctor!
Would you care for a roll in ze hey?
🎶 Roll, roll, roll in ze hay! 🎵
She was a really funny comedy actor, but also good in Close Encounters. I'll probably remember her most for that role.

OH NO!
Yeah, this one really hit hard.
Teri Garr in Young Frankenstein was definitely part of my sexual awakening.
ROLL IN ZE HAY!
No shame in it. Teri Garr was both hilarious and hot in that movie.
No shame at all. Mel Brooks cast her for a reason and it wasn't just her comedy skills.
Hell, he called it out in the movie
She was so good in "After Hours":

Someone I grew up with.
Well, 79 ain't too bad. And she did a hella job.
Thank you, Teri.
She was an icon from my childhood, an amazing actress.
Mr. Mom. Oh, God!. Close Encounters.
30 Rock had a joke about this era in movies where she was in EVERYTHING and it wasn’t a joke!

My husband and I just watched Young Frankenstein last week. Sigh...

Yep. Head. It's an insane movie. Many drugs were taken.
