Some Tuesday Notes

 Obituary:  Actress Teri Garr, 79, known for her movie roles in the 1970s and also for her television roles years later, died earlier today.  

Snip:

Teri Garr was born in Ohio in 1944 but was raised in Hollywood by an actor father, who died when she was 11, a mother who was "a Rockette at Radio City [and] a real tough cookie," as she told The Washington Post. She broke into Hollywood as a dancer, in Elvis Presley movies and in the touring production of West Side Story, and appeared in shows including Shindig! and The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour. ("Once I played Cher's dog on TV," she told the Post, but "Even now, when I get tired of playing the roles I do, I think of the million other women who want to be me and I go right back to work and say, 'Thank you very much.' ")

Nobody is indispensible, especially not in the cuthroat place called Hollywood. ____________________________
