With her blue eyes, button nose, and quick comic timing, Lee Terri could be mistaken for Teri Garr. Not only do the blondes look alike, they share a name! But since Ms. Garr’s credits include Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation (1974), Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Martin Scorsese’s After Hours (1985), Robert Altman’s The Player (1992), and the comedy classics Young Frankenstein (1974),Tootsie (1982), Ghost World (2001), and Friends (1997-1998), it’s clear Ms. Terri is the poor man’s version of Teri. Yet that doesn’t mean she wasn’t a hit in her own right. The bouncy babe tickled our funny bones in Airplane! (1980) starring Leslie Nielsen. Both a commercial and critical success, the disaster parody is ranked at number 6 on Bravo’s “100 Funniest Movies” list. Years later, Lee teamed up with Nielsen again for the comedy The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear (1991). Only he was the lead and she was reduced to one line (“Hey, look what he’s doing to that man in the wheelchair!”). As such, Lee turned to the small screen where she guest-starred on several series (Charlie’s Angels, Hotel) and appeared in a TV movie (Nightmare in the Daylight). But of all her stints, Mr. Skin is sweet on Sweet Savior (1971). Also known as The Love Thrill Murders, the R-rated crime flick marks Lee’s nude movie debut! As Maggie, the sexy starlet plays a bush-baring lesbian who strips out of her skivvies to reveal her rack! Talk about killer curves!
