Very sad to hear. 

 

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

 

RIP

I had no idea she was that old... I thought she was around my age in her early 70's.

 

I always had a soft spot for those "ditzy blonde" acts and her & Goldie were my two all-time favorites by a long shot!

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.

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.
