You have a real lack of understanding of mental health issues, the factors that lead to them, and the outcomes of mental health. You should educate yourself rather than making unsupported claims.

I remember her most from her frequent guest appearances on Letterman.

Terri Garr had numerous tv roles in the 1960's & 70's. Maybe her most famous was a Star Trek: TOS episode called, "Assignment: Earth". Which involved, time travel, a a human capable of beaming himself all over the universe in seconds using a disguised safe to fight the forces of evil. Yes, a safe where money & valuable documents & jewellery are kept. A human raised by aliens on a hidden world tens of thousands of light years away, a young hippie character (Garr) & a black cat. It was intodruced on Star Trek as an episode during the 1967/68 season after the one hour pilot had been rejected by Desilu Studios & CBS as a sci fi tv series.

oh man I hated to read this, before I joined this site, the Free Press (and eventually the Winnipeg Sun) page had live chats during Jets games (that's how I met Frosty) and Ted was among the staff that were in the chat. Bombers win this one for Ted tonight

I can never forget what a novelty AOL was at the time sure we had to use dialup to access it but still....I don't really miss it though, we've had high speed for 15 years, and dialup took 7 years of my life

AOL & Time Warner merger killed WCW. Eric Bischoff had the investors to buy the brand & run tv tapings out of one of the resort hotel/casinos in Las Vegas. They had a 2,000 seat venue that Bischoff thought would have been perfct to revive WCW. However, once the merger came about with all of Ted Turner's tv properties including WCW were absorbed,

Bischoff's deal fell through as WCW as everything was contingent upon WCW to still be broadcast on TNN. The new owners of Time Warner-AOL despised wrestling & didn't want it at any time slot on TNN. Vince McMahon came in & bought up WCW ( mostly videos of old matches & PPV's & finally put his wrestling rival out of business in 1999.

A few guys made it in the WWE. Ric Flair, Big Show, Chris Benoit, (tragically he killed his family & then took his own life in 2005), Eddie & Chavo Guerrero, Chris Jerico & Booker T all made it. Today, Goldberg still wrestles occasionally on WWE PPV's for big paydays.

I thought Benoit killed his family in 2007? I actually do remember that news story pretty well

I dunno. Was it 2007? Okay, I never checked the date. The man had lost his mind. He's not even mentioned by WWE anymore.
