The New Teri Garrs: Five Actresses We'd Want To Get A Beer With

The Teri Garr interview in the Onion's AV Club is unabashedly awesome; she's simply her no-nonsense, snarky self for several thousand lovely words. Garr, who has suffered from Multiple Sclerosis for a long time and in 2006 had a brain aneurysm that left her pretty damaged, has since gone through tough rehabilitation and is back making public appearances. The good news is that the aneurysm seems to have severed Garr's give-a-shit nerve, and so the entire interview is just completely real and funny. When asked about her "long-suffering" "doormat" character in Mr. Mom, Garr says, "Oh God. Because I'm a long-suffering doormat in my own life, I guess. That's why I was always cast as that.
