Young Frankenstein and Tootsie actress Teri Garr has sadly died at the age of 79. The comedy star, who was nominated for an Oscar for her work in Tootsie, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (aka MS) in 1999 and she also suffered a brain aneurysm in December 2006. Variety is reporting that she passed on Tuesday (October 29) in Los Angeles after her “long battle with multiple sclerosis.” She played the role of Inga opposite Gene Wilder‘s Dr. Frankenstein, and had the memorable line, “Vould you like to have a roll in ze hay?” She also guest-starred on Friends in both 1997 and 1998, and was featured in movies such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Mr. Mom. Our thoughts are with Teri Garr‘s friends, family, and loved ones during this time. RIP.
