Being a Star Trek geek, I know her from Assignment Earth, the
last aired episode of the second season. It was a possible spin off candidate for
the series. She played a ditzy blonde secretary. While she is known for her ditzy
characters, this might be the only ditzy female in a Star Trek episode that
actually had lines.
I don’t do private signings because I don’t get my 2 seconds
with the celeb, I made an exception with Teri Garr. I know she doesn’t do shows
and with age and health being a factor, I figured this was my last chance. I gladly sent my money to OC Dugout and chose
the photo of her as Ms Lincoln from her Star Trek episode.
I eagerly waited for the photo to be sent back. When I saw
the envelope, I greedily opened it. I stared at it for a few seconds. I showed
it to the wife (not nearly as excited as I was) and stared at it for a few more
seconds. Deep sigh of contentment.
The next day I found out she will be signing at a convention
in Jersey. Her first convention ever. Oh well. I wasn’t going to Jersey and I’m
glad she will be seeing her fans. I’m sure they will love her.
