​It was a tough race that year. Jessica was also nominated for Best Actress for Frances and lost to Meryl.

I love all of Teri Garr's scenes in this. Not only was she beautiful but hilarious. Every scene cracked me up. Even the simple little utterance she made while she was watching Dorothy's speech during the beginning of the reveal scene.

Maybe her _Speedbumps_ memoir tells all, or at least something? Before that interview I didn't like her ditzy characters, but after I didn't like her.

Have you seen a 1997 TV movie called Nightscream where she played Candace Cameron Bure's mother?

A long-forgotten actress. Young Frankenstein, Close Encounters, The Black Stallion, this movie, The Sting 2, Mr. Mom, Firstborn, After Hours. Since the mid-1980’s, she appeared here and there and had MS. And her birthdate remains a mystery. As early as 1946 and late as 1952.

@foleynj86

Teri Garr was one of my favorite guests on Letterman when he was on NBC. Letterman definitely had a thing for her and who wouldn't? She's freaking beautiful! The birthdate thing is a mystery to me as well. I see some sites say 1947 and even 1944 according to Wikipedia. I guess we won't know the real birthdate until she dies or see her birth certificate?🤷

What do I have to do? Hit you with a stick. I know every line in this scene and still love every second.

Teri Garr is FANTASTIC in this scene. She's great throughout the movie. Tootsie is one those movies where casting came near to perfection. It may been remembered as Dustin Hoffman's tour de force performance. And the chemistry between him and Jessica Lange is just something you do not see anymore in movies. BUT! You also get likes of Bill Murray, Dabney Coleman, George Gaynes, Charles Durning and Sydney Pollack, all of them giving a KILLER performances. If Teri had gotten the Oscar, I wouldn't have disagreed. But Jessica got it. Her performance there can make a grown man cry. Just watch the ending scene.

One of the best comedic ensembles ever assembled on the silver screen IMHO …Hoffman, Garr, Pollack, Bill Murray, Charles Durning among others…also a fun factoid: Estelle Getty made a brief appearance in the senior dance club scene…just a few years prior to her debut on the Golden Girls.

Terri and Dustin amazing stuff I watched Tootsie back in the early 80s when it came out only once in the cinema but Terri garrs performance always stuck in my head for decades..in that..it was a good performance.strange I don't know anything about acting and don't watch many movies...but I always remember ed it

Michael Dorsey's eyebrows are plucked in the scene when Sandy is reading lines with him. This is before he even had the idea to audition for the role on the soap opera as a woman.

Teri deserved the Oscar big time instead of Lange, she's the star of the movie.

Ah, that's sad. That was a good relationship. She was low-key into him but not really, he kind of kept her in the friendzone but still liked her as a pal. And then they hooked up and ruined it all.

I know a movie that is like a crossover with Mrs. Doubtfire and Tootsie which is an episode of Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre called The Tale of the Frog Prince because Tootsie's comedian, Teri Garr was in that episode with Mrs. Doubtfire's comedian, Robin Williams.

so good!

She lost the Oscar because Jessica Lange was not going to win later that same evening for Frances. There was no way Meryl Streep was not winning best actress for Sophie's Choice. It was the bone that they threw Jessica. Everybody knows that Teri deserved it way more!
