Seriously hot

In Young Frankenstein she is smoking hot, not only in appearance but in sex appeal personality wise.

She was criminally underrated and underused as the foxy lady.

I always thought she was beautiful. Especially in Mr. Mom and Firstborn. She's just a lovely woman all around.

Yes, but she also was HOT in the 70s.

Yet I didn't see her around playing the hot girl of the movie. Maybe back then they wanted somebody more stunning like Fawcett or more voluptuous, but mostly the hot girl was serious so maybe she was seen as too funny to be sexy.
She was never sold as a sex symbol, but I think she had the appeal to be one.

I agree, she could definitely have been a sex symbol back in the day. But she was definitely over-shadowed by Farrah Fawcett, Barbara Bach and Bo Derek. She lobbied hard for Kim Basinger's role in 9 1/2 Weeks but was turned down for it.

I rate Garr way above Fawcett, Bach, or Derek in attractiveness, personality, and acting.

Ditto. Stunning girl.

Last night I saw one from the heart and she was so beautiful in that one. You rarely see actresses of her age with that "women next door" type of beauty.
