My mother was a real tough cookie. She raised the three of us, and she worked at the same time.
From Teri Garr
I went to North Hollywood High. I'm the original Val girl.
My agents have me in the Actors' Protection Program. It seems to be working very well. Nobody can find me.
The whole MS stuff put the kibosh on my career. And I sort of let it go. I even have a friend who went to CBS and said, 'I want Teri Garr to be in this series,' and the head of the network said, 'Oh no, she's got MS.'
I get this thing every once in a while that I call 'ESS:' emergency sleep situation. I'll get like lead, really fatigued, and I can't move.
I think I look pretty good. And I know there are human beings my age who look the way I do. There must be stories about us - not just about people who are young and good-looking.
When I was a dancer, I would see that dancers were treated like garbage. I mean like, like extras.
Speed bumps, I was thinking, you know, you're driving along, everything's OK, and then there's a speed bump to go, 'Slow down.' Go over it real slowly, and you hit the pedal, and you keep going, and I just thought it was kind of a nice metaphor for life.
What's happening to me is I'm still happy and functioning, being able to listen to music, see good movies, read good books. What else is there that I can't, you know, I mean, I'm OK.
Please, people, don't drink and vote. We'll all pay for that.
