That was instilled in me very early."[11]During her youth, Garr expressed interest in dancing and trained extensively in ballet.[11]"I'd go for three, four hours a day; my feet would be bleeding", she recalled. "I'd take buses all over the city just to go to the best dancing schools.

Notes

  1. ^abMany sources place Garr's birth in the Cleveland suburb ofLakewood, Ohio,but others say she was born in Los Angeles, matching the 1950 US Census, which lists her as born in California.[1][2][3]Garr herself said she was born in Los Angeles.[4]
  2. ^Various sources have cited numerous years for Garr's date of birth, though the date is always given as December 11. At the start of chapter 2 of her memoirSpeedbumps,Garr declines to give her age. A few pages later, she indicates that she was 11 when her father died in September 1956. This fact places her birth year as 1944.[7]: 9–10, 19 In addition, the April 1950 U.S. Census entry for the Eddie Garr family indicates that Teri was five years old, which also places her year of birth as 1944. The same census gives her birthplace as California.[3]
