Things didn't look so positive on the morning of Dec. 21 when Garr's daughter Molly, 13, and a woman who works for the actress couldn't wake Garr up and called 911.Garr - who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in the late '90s - was immediately brought to the hospital where doctors performed a coil embolism, according to her rep.
Not only did a blood vessel burst in her melon, but she has MS. She's one tough biddy. And she's funny. You'll notice I reported on this lady, and not Victoria Principal's divorce. The difference?

How could you not mention "Young Frankenstein"? Or "Tootsie"? Or even her stint on "Friends" as Phoebe's birth mom? One of the funniest actresses of our time.
