I've always had a secret crush on Teri Garr.

Joey, I am with you, kahuna.

She falls very firmly into that category of gals who are sort of plain-Janes on the surface, but who have an inexplicable but undeniably powerful underlying sex apppeal. She was SO hot in Young Frankenstein, but in a very subtle way that modern bimbos like Pam Anderson or someone like that can't even begin to touch.

...that said, she went into housewife mode for Close Encounters, and sort of lost it all... but I can't help but to have some empathy for her retro 60's chick character in After Hours, with her beehive hairdo, her 100 cans of Aqua Net on the shelf, and her frustrated outburst to the effect of "I know people think this is all silly, I know people laugh at me, but this is who I am". I suspect that a lot people on this message board can relate to that - perhaps her character even hung out at some Tiki Bars, maybe the Hawaii Kai, or the Hawaiian Room in the Lexingotn, or Trader Vic's in the Plaza or the Savoy.

Oaky, time to stop posting drunk.
