Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

A Quality Actress Has Gone Away

This fine lady was both beautiful and funny.
What a rare combination for an actress to see.
We will always remember her for "Young Frankenstein" and "Tootsie".
Many other performances increased her popularity.
Teri became encumbered with multiple sclerosis, unfortunately.
This ended her life very recently.
However, Teri's screen performances gave her immortality.

Teri Garr
(1945-2024)

Jared Pickett October 30, 2024 at 4:31 AM Not familiar with the actress you speak of. However, there have been many actors/actresses that have passed recently. Many favorites gone on to become soldiers for Jesus. It's been a long time my friend, good to be back on the soup, i've been absent for a while. Asavvy1
