First Born is her only movie I've seen I think. Shame about her health I heard it's gotten worse over time.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

Again, people think they're immune from age and what may come with it.

I believe she not only has MS but also has a disfiguring type of rheumatoid arthritis.

I'm sure when she was 20, she also never thought this would happen to her.

No one ever knows. Some things just are not avoidable and can sneak up on you.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

The same thing applies to Kathleen Turner. She suffers from crippling rheumatoid arthritis, and has to take heavy doses of steroids to stave off the pain. That along with the natural effects of aging, has drastically changed her appearance.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

Yeah, it's an unfortunate circumstance for those who suffer with it. I was on Prednisone for a while because of my eyes, it was the worst year of my life. The steroids sometimes cause more symptoms than the disease itself.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

I have a degenerative condition, so treating it is an ongoing process. I used to use steroid drops too, but they didn't do much good.

When I got injections in my spine I got a bloated look in my face

The old moonpie face. Yes, I had to deal with that, plus a few extra pounds which I lost quickly after weaning myself off of the prednisone. I hope your spine is doing better these days.

sorry to read this. i need MORE info on what is bolded. specificly links to medical journals or academic articles or from a foundation, like mayo clinic for example.

i know someone on this predisone and there might be a RA problem or some other autoimmune inflamatory thing. but if person has scientific literature about what you said above, maybe the doctors will listen more.

thank you

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

I'm sorry to hear about your friend.

I'll see what I can find for you. All I can say is prednisone made me extremely ill during the entire year that I was on it and it took me almost 6 months to completely taper off of it. I developed temporary diabetes while I was taking it and needed insulin. I've also developed premature cataracts as well (a known side-effect). The diabetes went away once I was weaned off.

So yeah, even though it can be a wonder drug for some and improve their quality of life, it comes at a hefty price.

I'll look around more later, but you can search Google for "Prednisone may do more harm than good". Also "The risks and benefits of Prednisone".

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

Stop eating gluten and you’ll practically REVERSE the rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis!!! Kathleen got it in her 40’s, and you can reverses a RA diagnosis at that age.

Kiss my black ass! Toodles!

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

What are you telling me for? I don't have RA and I avoid gluten.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

Yes, and I was thinking of her too. People are so cruel and quite ignorant and shallow. No one thinks these things are going to happen to them, and when they do, you find out who really cares about you as a person and not just what you look like.

Never mind the natural process of aging, but diseases come up that one doesn't expect, and people are so casual about exploiting it and attacking these people.

I also think of Shelley Duvall and how that "Dr. Phil" idiot exploited her. Psychiatric medications also have the ability to really alter a person's appearance.

Yet another reason I try to steer clear of vanity-driven shallow people who don't truly care or want to know.

Amen to that.

I was actually horrified when I saw that, and couldn't believe he had the gall to exploit her in that way instead of offering real help. Shelly was in an acute state and needed extensive inpatient treatment. Instead, he paraded her in front of millions of viewers to be gawked at and ridiculed. Dr. Phil isn't worth the paper his degree is printed on.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

This is why I love you Chicka!

I totally agree. When I saw that, I couldn't believe this man who claims to pride himself on helping people, did nothing but exploit this poor woman. As you said, she needed intensive inpatient treatment and did not need to be paraded and exploited in front of a camera crew, audience and broadcast.

Any type of interview with her beforehand would clearly indicate, even to someone less educated, that this was a classless and crude act to do. This was so disrespectful to Duvall.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

I wonder how she's doing now? She lives in the DFW area, but we never hear anything about her on the local news.

She's stated once before that Stanley Kubrick's mistreatment of her on the set of The Shining, largely contributed to her downward spiral into mental illness. He would make her repeat her lines hundreds of times, and kept her working into the wee hours of the morning. Sometimes she went for days without rest or a break in between shoots.

He wouldn't be able to get away with such abuse nowadays without being sued.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

Yes, I remember reading/seeing/hearing about that as well. And that's no exaggeration. He'd have her going through 100 takes (like on the stairs swinging the bat), until she was so exhausted.

I've heard that much like Hitchcock he had a reputation for brutality towards his actors. But she was obviously frail and fragile to begin with and being forced to go through what he put that cast through would be enough to drive anyone over the edge.

I heard of scenes being filed 80 and 90 times, just basic shots, to get "the right shot." (Again, same as Hitchcock). I know Tarantino and Costner pushes his actors to the limit as well, and in Tarantino's case, he even landed Uma in the hospital.

I'm glad that there are more safety measures set up in place to not exploit actors. Think of what was done to Judy Garland as well!

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

I've heard about Hitchcock's obsessive need for perfection - right down to the smallest detail.

Speaking of Judy, I still haven't had a chance to watch her biopic. I've purposely been avoiding the reviews, because I want to form my own opinion about it. I just hope it's as good as I've been hearing.

Ugh, this cold is kicking my butt. I'm off to warm up some chicken soup!

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

I heard it was inaccurate and dumb

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

She never used to be that way. Actually now she's a completely different person. Her interests are completely different. She never expressed concern for Hollywood in general. I never saw her neither express empathy nor sympathy towards anyone. She was basically one of those posters that hung out on the soapbox gossiping. She still does that here, but not as much as before.

She was a completely different person on imdb. That's why I thought it was someone impersonating her when she first arrived.

I was the one who'd discussed a topic like this with others. But whatever. When I look at other people discussing things the way I used to back then, I think wow, I was kind of dumb. Lol

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

I'm the same person now, that I was back then. I believe you saw what you chose to see, or what I chose to show you, because most of my heart to hearts with people took place in PMs away from the public board. Which is why I knew basically everyone on the SB and they knew me. I was the keeper of secrets on the SB because so many people confided in me.

I honestly can't remember what you discussed with others back then, because you weren't a major contributor on any of the topics of conversation nor were you well known on the board. At least not in the sense that I was drawn to any of your threads or posts. It seems the only time we ever interacted was when you felt the need to attack me out of the blue for whatever unknown reason.

Also, the Soapbox was an entirely different environment than what we have @ film|boards. The atmosphere is more intimate here because this is a small forum and we have fewer people, but it is also more adversarial and we all tend to fight more because of the trolls.

I think had you taken the time to get to know me like others did while we were on the SB, you would've found that we probably have more in common than not. We're both here now and there is nothing standing in our way except maybe pride and a lot of misconceptions.

MS happened you Uncaring Bastard!!

The only poster who had his account banned 4 times without ever breaking any rules each of those times.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

You're an asshole.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

She got old and fat, but she was hot in Young Frankenstein way back in 1974!

That is very sad. I knew she had some kind of disease.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

That really is a chauvinistic and pig-headed thing to say. "She got old and fat." No one thinks they'll ever get "old and fat" yet just through the natural process of aging, people (wait for it),…"get old," and through the natural process of aging, metabolisms slow and all the cartilage that gives us height whether it's the length of our spine, or even that within our jaw, all shrinks, making our faces rounder, our bodies shorter and wider, and collagen is lost.

Let's just add that to all the other reasons women develop all kinds of problems because men only see us needing to perpetually looking "hot" so we're "fuckable" and are nothing more than a warm crotch.

Wow, you really disappointed me with that snarky comment. You're talking like an ignorant 20 year old boy who feel impervious and that you'll magically be immune to Father Time, and God forbid, develop any health issues (because no one at 20 thinks they're going to develop health problems, especially chronic ones which can greatly affect your quality of life, your appearance, your mobility,…) Well, when that time comes, hopefully someone close to you will reject you for getting "old and fat" and completely disregard that you may have contracted MS or rheumatoid arthritis or any other degenerative condition that may even land you in a walker or wheelchair.

You surprised me, and I didn't think you'd have such a snarky and shallow response. Damn.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

Sorry to disturb you, but I told the truth. She did get old and fat. I didn't reject her, or vilify her for it. We all get old and fat, or at least old (hopefully). You sound like a snowflake here, Lilith.

And I didn't say this was confined to the female of the species. Hell, I got old and fat, and that is once again, the truth. But I'm on a diet now and am losing weight. I have lost 12 pounds so far. The key to losing weight is to alter your eating habits permanently, and I have done so.



PS And my statement was not chauvinistic or pig headed. If you asked me what happened to Elivs or Marlon Brando, I would say the same thing. They got old and fat.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

She is 74 years old. I'd say she looks pretty good considering age and health problems.

No one looks the same in their 70's as they looked in their 20's and 30's. Unless you have tons of plastic surgery, eat very little, work out every day, no health problems and are Christie Brinkley.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

Sophia Loren is much older, still acting, and is beautiful and classy.

Re: What Happened to Terri Garr?

Nobody stays young, hot, and 25 forever. Each and every one of us is equally susceptible to the ravages and diminutions of time, age, and health as we get older. Why should Terri Garr or any other famous actor or actress be somehow magically exempt from this inescapable fact of life?

Yes, this is really me.

Fuck you, motherfucker! She’s got MS!
