A Star is Born! Teri Garr in DISNEYLAND




Due to its proximity to Hollywood, DISNEYLAND has often been one of the first places aspiring actors visit for a job after they arrive in Southern California. Many future legends got their start around the park, taking a job to pay the bills while they followed their Hollywood dreams.

Years before becoming an Oscar nominated actress who charmed her way onto David Letterman's show, Teri Garr was entertaining tourists from around the world in DISNEYLAND's Show Me America. This lavish production premiered in 1970 on the Tomorrowland stage, which would later become part of the Space Mountain complex. Eventually the stage would be removed and become the Magic Eye Theater, home to Captain EO.
