Actress Teri Garr talks about her films, her new autobiography, and living with multiple sclerosis on the Feast of Fools Podcast.Teri Garr considered naming her autobiography “Does This Wheelchair Make Me Look Fat?” But instead, she decided on “Speedbumps: Flooring it through Hollywood.” The result is a hilarious and touching book that begins with growing up in a vaudevillian family, dancing in Elvis Presley’s movies, winning an Oscar for her hilarious role in the film Tootsie, and then coming to terms and living with Multiple Sclerosis.

Considered by many to be one of the best comedic actresses in recent history, Teri Garr speaks candidly with hosts Fausto Fernós and Marc Felion about her work in such films as Tootsie and Young Frankenstein.

Listen as Teri Garr reveals the real reason why she has such great on-air chemistry with David Letterman, how she came up with the memorable line in Tootsie “I am responsible for my own orgasms” and how she got her television beginnings in Star Trek.

Her new autobiography “Speedbumps: Flooring it Through Hollywood” (which we highly recommend reading) is available right now on Amazon.com by clicking here.
