The Oscar nominated comedic actor Teri Garr died on Tuesday in Los Angeles, at the age of 79, according to her publicist Heidi Schaeffer.

The “Young Frankenstein” star’s cause of death is complications from the chronic autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis (MS). Garr chronicled her battle with MS, which is not a death sentence on its own, in her 2005 autobiography “Speedbumps: Flooring it Through Hollywood,” according to NBC News.
