That's so sad to hear. Prayers for Terri - I've always enjoyed her so much. Bad enough having MS and now this. Hopefully she'll have a full recovery. Just saw her last week on the ep of Friends where Pheebs finds out she's actually her birth mom. Also saw her again when I watched Young Frankenstein for like the 150th time. (Odd too - with the passing of Peter Boyle a couple of weeks ago).

I'm glad to hear Terri is recovering... she's always been one of my favorite actresses! Get better soon, Terri! :)

That's sad. I'm glad she's recovering. She was always so cute and bubbly. My husband used to love when Teri was a guest on the talk shows years ago. I used to joke and tell him that his girlfriend was on, lol.

I seen that same episode too! I loved it, she was perfect to play Pheebs mother. I loved her in the movie, First Born with Peter Weller. The movie launched the careers of Corey Haim, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Robert Downey Jr. I hope she has a full recovery, we've had too many deaths in December.
