Yikes is right (that was my senior year of college).
This one stings. Terri Garr was always a boyhood crush of mine growing up because of seeing The Black Stallion in the movie theater as a little kid. I loved her in Young Frankenstein as well- she was superb.
I have fond memories of telling my parents I was “sick” so I could stay home from school in 6th grade in ‘85, sneaking a small black and white TV into my room and watching her on Letterman one time and her telling Dave, “that’s possible bullshit” in her interview which caught him off guard and made him laugh.
His Facebook page had a nice clip of her today.

They had some great chemistry.

Such a talented musician. I went through a large part of my life thinking that the song over the intro to “The Italian Job” was a classic crooner staple before I found out that it was something he just knocked out for the movie.
A great man. Was a damn fine trumpet player before his brain aneurism forced him to quit playing. He also married well, Ulla Anderson, Peggy Lipton and Nastassja Kinski.
