The former film also featured appearances by Rene Auberjonois, Paul Dooley, Louise Fletcher, Whoopi Goldberg, Joel Grey, Malcolm McDowell, Bert Remsen, Dean Stockwell, Brian Tochi, and Ray Walston.

Besides her appearance on Star Trek, Garr has also appeared on such classic television shows as Batman (1966, with William O'Connell), The Andy Griffith Show, M*A*S*H, The Bob Newhart Show, and Barnaby Jones (1974, with William Sargent and Mariette Hartley).

Garr was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1999, after suffering from the disease for 16 years. Despite this, she has continued to work occasionally in film and television. In December 2006, she underwent surgery to treat a brain aneurysm and is said to be "recovering nicely." [1]
