Sad news. Good comedic actress. I know she had a lot of health issues in recent years.

Sad indeed. She was so, so good. Especially in Tootsie.

Recently watched a compilation of all her appearances on Letterman. She was great.

Like Shelley Duvall, Garr had a unique screen presence, and was terrific every time I saw her. Last movie I saw her in was Ghost World.

Sad to see this, although I kind of knew she wasn't well. Young Frankenstein possibly the funniest movie ever.

Sad news. I know she’s been dealing with health issues for a long time now so it’s not entirely surprising.
I had a huge crush on her in the 80s and into the 90s. Such a perfect “girl next door” look.
The last thing I really remember seeing her in was Dumb and Dumber… 30 years ago.

Nooooooo
One of my all-time favorites.
May watch the TAMI Show tonight in her honor. She was one of the background dancers, and her entire attitude towards life could be seen in her enthusiasm.

Fantastic comedic actress. I may have to watch Young Frankenstein on Halloween in her honor.

I know she had some health issues lately. Very sad to hear. I always found her attractive.

I think she was the last living cast member of Young Frankenstein. Mel Brooks outlived them all.

It's kind of an obscure hard to find movie now. Not on a major streaming service. But, I remember when she played the hot single Mom in Firstborn. Peter Weller was the scumbag abusive boyfriend.

This one hurts. So many great films. Especially my all-time favorite, “Close Encounters”.

I never really 'got' Garr's appeal as a leading lady until I caught Coppola's One from the Heart. She's really good in that quasi-musical, one of the only things that works in it.

Definitely unfortunate, as I always liked her. Funnily enough, some co-workers and I were quoting from Mr. Mom only yesterday.
