Tootsie's 'Sandy' No More: Teri Garr Passes Away at 79

It’s official, folks. The news we’ve all been dreading has finally hit. Teri Garr, the iconic actress best known for her role as Sandy Lester in the legendary comedy Tootsie, has passed away at the age of 79.

It’s a real bummer, man. You know, Teri wasn’t just some random actress. She was a true talent, a comedy legend. From her early days on Laugh-In to her memorable turns in films like Young Frankenstein, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Mr. Mom, Garr brought a unique blend of wit and charm to every role.

But it was Tootsie that truly cemented her place in film history. Playing Dustin Hoffman’s love interest, she created a character that was both hilarious and heartwarming. She was, like, the perfect blend of sass and sweetness. Who could forget her iconic line, “You’re a woman, you’re not a man?” It’s a quote that’s become synonymous with the movie.

Sadly, Garr’s later years were plagued by health issues. She suffered from a debilitating illness that affected her ability to work. But despite these challenges, she never lost her spirit. She kept on fighting, she kept on smiling, and she kept on inspiring people with her strength and resilience.

Teri Garr was a true original. She was a comedic force of nature, and her talent will be sorely missed. But her legacy, her impact on the world of entertainment, will live on forever. Rest in peace, Sandy. You’ll always be our favorite tootsie roll.
