RIP Teri. Beautiful lady and actress.

[BettinaBalser]

I just love her to pieces. She made the world a prettier, lovelier, livelier, funnier place. May her spirit soar.

I’ve used the “I have to feel this way until I don’t feel this way anymore” line for years, it really makes it clear to the other person to back off.

[FabinhoFlapp]

Terrific actress.
In "Tootsie" she delivered one of the best histrionic performances I've ever seen.
Mrs. Garr,
May God bless you and light your way.
I wish you peace, love and light on your journey of progress and evolution. ✨🙏🏻✨

Heard Teri Garr passed away. She NAILED this role, and especially this scene. Outstanding actress who will be missed.

TerI Garr was nothing short of brilliant in this movie. Her acting, timing, and high animation is just amazing. Plus, the acting chemistry between her and Hoffman is wonderful

I'm blown away by the acting, intelligence and power of this scene. My god, what has happened to movies these days? This is as real as it gets. RIP Terri, this is truly gifted acting.

I LOVE Teri! She's so real. When he tells her and then she screams, she does it in such a way that it's hilarious! She's the best.

Oscars dont deserve artists like her.

This scene resides in the hearts of millions of happy viewers

She finally shows rage and she does an amazing job.

I always loved her in this movie. I'm so sad that she is gone. Rest in peace, Teri Garr.

[frankpeter]

This scene sells the movie. Her performance is indelible.

[lflagr]

I think everyone who's done theatre in college or been involved in the arts knows someone exactly like Sandy back in college lol. Man, does Teri Garr nail this part.

[paulcummings]

I absolutely adored this extraordinary woman in "Close Encounters" and "Tootsie". She made me cry with emotion and cry with laughter. A true movie great. Just brilliant. xx

This ex-Soviet kid (emigrated to US 1990) is forever grateful to Teri Garr - in 1983 the Soviet authorities (for reasons unknown) released this film in the USSR (which near-never happened for Hollywood movies), and I was 14, and watched this film 20 times, know it by heart, and Teri's performance made me laugh and empathize with her every single time. Jessica Lange gives an amazing performance (and of course Dustin Hoffman and Bill Murray are in absolutely top form) but I looked forward to this exact scene because of how amazing Teri is in it (and the rest of the film). Thank you, Teri.
