Teri Garr

I'm happy to be alive. But they must think, oh, you poor thing, you're suffering. And I'm not.

Are you still acting now? Oh, yes. I just am on... Law and Order. I play a defense attorney named Minerva Graham Bishop. Good name, huh? And that's a great job. I'm a defense lawyer on that show. I've done one. I'm going to do another one and perhaps more. And does the MS get in the way of your performing? No. How could it get in the way? I get in my way. I feel like I'm a little bit rusty. But

No, it hasn't. You know, on the Law & Order show, there's a cinematographer who's quite brilliant, and he has MS. And so he had a little scooter, motorized scooter around the set. He said, do you want to borrow one of mine? I said, sure. And that was great.

See, that's one of the reasons I go around talking about living with MS and talking about MS is that there's so many myths about it and that people can go on with their lives and they can do good work. And I think the myth is, no, they're dead. They're out. They're gone. They're in a wheelchair. In fact, I was going to call my book, Does This Wheelchair Make Me Look Fat?,

I was afraid if I put wheelchair out there, it's going to be another big, you know, checkmark against me. So I'm trying to, you know, I try to keep it on the upper positive level that those of us with MS can still go on and still function. And I want the rest of the world to believe it. And I also want the people that have MS to believe it because I think they're victims of the bad publicity too.

You know, that they go, oh, I have MS. I better throw in the towel and go to my room and watch TV or something. And that's no, no, no. You have to go on with your life.

And then she also was like a wardrobe person for several TV shows? Yes. Yeah, I think a lot of dancers go into wardrobe afterwards. I don't know why that happens, but it's true. And she became a costumer in L.A., and my father died when I was 11, and he was in vaudeville, and they met in a Broadway show, my parents.

And then he came out to Hollywood to be in movies, and that didn't pan out, and he became very ill. And he passed away. So my mother had to support three kids, you know, by her wits. So she went and got a job in the studios as a costumer. In fact, she was a costumer on Young Frankenstein before I even got the job. And she told, don't tell anyone I'm your mother. What is this about? It's so weird.
