Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

🎶 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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

Yeah, this one really hit hard.

Teri Garr in Young Frankenstein was definitely part of my sexual awakening.

ROLL IN ZE HAY!

[–] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No shame in it. Teri Garr was both hilarious and hot in that movie.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No shame at all. Mel Brooks cast her for a reason and it wasn't just her comedy skills.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hell, he called it out in the movie

That's my favorite Scorsese Film. I love head trip movies.

[–] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! The beehive sporting cocktail waitress!

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

yeah thats crappy

[–] TipRing@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

She was an icon from my childhood, an amazing actress.

[–] Jonnyprophet@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

God Damnit.

Someone I grew up with.

Well, 79 ain't too bad. And she did a hella job.

Thank you, Teri.

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

[–] tamiya_tt02@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

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!
