The Birthdate of Teri Garr
I just spent a few minutes cataloguing Teri Garr’s new autobiography, SpeedBumps. What caught my attention was the 100 field where it read “Garr, Teri, 1952-.” I kind of thought that was unlikely, since I thought she was somewhat older than 15 in Assignment: Earth. A quick bit of checking found that IMDB and Wikipedia give different dates as well. Apparently, her birthdate has been a subject of debate for some time. It would someone in the Authority Department at the LC needs to do some fact-checking.

I just noticed, on the dust jacket, it reads, “at seventeen, she was swiveling her hips alongside Elvis and Ann-Margaret in Viva Las Vegas.” So does that mean the correct date is 1947?
