Teri Garr, Star of ‘Young Frankenstein’ and ‘Tootsie,’ Dies at 79

Born in Ohio, she moved to Los Angeles, graduated North Hollywood High School, and attended Cal State Northridge before moving to New York to study acting. Starting out as a go-go dancer, she can be seen shimmying behind the performers in filmed rock concert “The T.A.M.I. Show” and in six Elvis Presley features, most choreographed by her mentor David Winters. During the 1960s, she had bit parts on sitcoms including “That Girl,” “Batman” and “The Andy Griffith Show.”
