After spending two years attending college, Garr left Los Angeles and studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York City.Her self-described big break as an actress was landing a role in the Star Trek episode Assignment Earth, after which she said, I finally started to get real acting work.Garr had a supporting role in Francis Ford Coppolas thriller The Conversation (1974) before having her film breakthrough as Inga in Young Frankenstein (1974).
