I do not think I have ever seen Young Frankenstein.

I remember her from "Head" and Star Trek: Assignment: Earth" which was an episode Roddenberry hoped was a plot for a new series. Evidently even if got go for a series she would not sign up for it.

 

For the Monkees movie Head, Jack Nicholson, who wrote the script, chose Garr as a woman who gets a snake bite and begs, "Quick, suck it before the venom reaches my heart!" This would become Garr's first-ver onscreen line.

Very sad to hear. 

 

I really think that she should have won the Oscar for supporting actress for "Tootsie" instead of Jessica Lange.

 

RIP

That year, 1983, Lange was nominated for both best supporting actress (Tootsie) and best actress (Francis).  I think voters gave her the nod for supporting actress, knowing Meryl Streep would likely win best actress for Sophie's Choice.
