I liked her in the Star Trek Gary Seven episode "Assignment Earth", where she played a brilliant but ditzy secretary.

She was overwhelmed by Gary Seven's typewriter that typed what you spoke, something reasonably familiar now with our phone transcription features.

Gary Seven was supposed to be a spin-off series. Teri likely would have starred in it with Robert Lansing, but I guess there wasn't enough studio or television support for a secret agent from the future coming back to keep the Earth on track.

I always had a crush on Garr.

But I didn't like the way she treated UFO witnesses or guys who met God.

PS Close Encounters and Oh God. She played the doubting wife in both.
