Teri Garr (1944–2024) was an American actress who appeared in over 70 films. She began her film career in the early 1960s as a dancer in various musicals before having small speaking roles in Head (1968) and Changes (1969). In 1974, she was cast as Inga in Mel Brooks's comedy horror film Young Frankenstein (1974), and also had a supporting role in Francis Ford Coppola's thriller The Conversation (1974).

In 1977, Garr starred in Steven Spielberg's science fiction film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and she gained critical acclaim for her performance in the Sydney Pollack-directed comedy Tootsie (1982), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She subsequently had supporting roles in the comedy Mr. Mom (1983). She also starred in Full Moon in Bluewater with Gene Hackman and Meredith Burger (1985) and two Robert Altman films: The Player (1992), and Prêt-à-Porter (1994). Garr subsequently had small roles in the comedies Dumb and Dumber (1994), Dick (1999) and Ghost World (2001) before going into retirement in 2011 due to her diagnosis with multiple sclerosis.
