Penny Marshall, who found Hollywood fame as Laverne DeFazio on the sitcom “Laverne & Shirley,” and went on to become one of the most successful women film directors in town, died Monday at her home in the Hollywood Hills of complications from diabetes. She was 75.
Marshall, whose voice never lost the Bronx lilt of her childhood, was born to parents who worked in the entertainment industry — her mother a tap dance instructor, her father a film director and producer — and she and both of her siblings, brother Garry Marshall and sister Ronny Hallin, all eventually made their way to...
Marshall got her foot in the door in the ’60s with small parts in movies and TV series, often projects her writer-producer brother was making, and landed her first recurring role when Garry Marshall cast her in “The Odd Couple” as Myrna, secretary to the sportswriter Oscar played by Jack Klugman.
Actor-director Rob Reiner, who married Marshall in 1971, just before she joined “The Odd Couple” TV series, and was with her for the next decade, expressed sorrow on Tuesday at her passing.
I loved Penny. I grew up with her. She was born with a great gift. She was born with a funnybone and the instinct of how to use it. I was very lucky to have lived with her and her funnybone. I will miss her.
After Garry Marshall created “Happy Days,” he eventually cast her and Cindy Williams as Shotz Brewery bottle-cappers Laverne and Shirley. Introduced as friends of Fonzie’s, the characters proved popular enough that a spin-off starring them was launched in 1976 and ran through 1983. If its theme song isn’t still instant...
Director Ron Howard, who as Richie Cunningham on “Happy Days” was part of a double date with Fonzie and Laverne and Shirley, praised her on Tuesday for making a transition similar to his own, from sitcom star to esteemed director.
Midway through the run of “Laverne & Shirley,” Marshall started to direct the occasional episode, and a few years after it ended she made her debut as a feature film director with “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” a spy comedy starring Whoopi Goldberg. Released in 1986 to mediocre reviews but good box office, it got her another sh...
The 1988 movie “Big” earned its star Tom Hanks, who played a boy who becomes a man overnight, an Academy Award nomination and made Marshall the first female director to top $100 million at the box office as “Big” eventually sold more than $150 million in tickets.
Director Ava DuVernay, whose 2014 film “Selma” became the first movie nominated for best picture directed by an African-American woman, had memories of Marshall as a trailblazer for women in mind when she took to Twitter on Tuesday.
Two years later, the Robin Williams-Robert De Niro medical drama “Awakenings” earned three Academy Award nominations including best picture and best supporting actor for De Niro.
Then in 1992, Marshall reunited with Hanks — and a cast that included Geena Davis, Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell — for “A League of Their Own,” a sports comedy about a real-life women’s baseball league in the ’40s.
Thereafter Marshall worked less frequently — she didn’t direct a film after 2001’s “Riding in Cars with Boys,” and didn’t produce after both “Cinderella Man” and “Bewitched” in 2005 — but between “Laverne & Shirley,” which established her as a significant TV comedienne, and movies such as “Big” and “A League Of Their O...
Russell Crowe, who starred as boxer Jim Braddock in the Ron Howard-directed “Cinderella Man,” shared one of his memories for working with her on Twitter.
The fact that she owned a historic Golden Gloves boxing trophy to give Crowe was referenced by broadcaster Larry King in his Twitter memory of Marshall.
So saddened by Penny Marshall's passing. Her work entertained us for years — what a remarkable woman! One thing I'll always remember about Penny — & maybe some people don't know this — she had one of the best sports memorabilia collections I've ever seen. RIP, Penny Marshall.
While the odd couple of actor Danny DeVito and rapper Bow Wow also individually mentioned Marshall’s lifelong love for basketball.
Even actors who didn’t get parts in her film projects praised her with love and gratitude on Tuesday.
A driver accidentally ran over a shopper breaking his ankle in Asda car park in Hellesdon after he hit the accelerator rather than the brake, a court heard.

The court heard Taylor pleaded guilty by post and did not appear for the court hearing.
He was also ordered to pay £100 costs and a £30 victim surcharge.

Manchester City overcame Wolves 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium despite having Vincent Kompany sent off to restore their five-point advantage at the top of the Barclays Premier League.
City were 2-0 up after 67 minutes through Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov, before Stephen Hunt pulled back a goal from the spot with 15 minutes remaining following Kompany's dismissal, but substitute Adam Johnson wrapped up the victory in stoppage time.
Wolves, who lost 5-2 to the same opposition in the Carling Cup in midweek, could only partially clear a corner from Kolarov in the second minute and the ball came to Samir Nasri, who unleashed a volley which Wayne Hennessey tipped over the bar.
At the other end Kevin Doyle flashed his effort across the face of goal. Sergio Aguero drew a good save out of Hennessey with a turn and strike from outside the box and moments later looked set to put City in front, but miskicked as he attempted to stroke home Micah Richards' delivery.
Silva saw his strike from Nasri's cross blocked and City fans felt Richard Stearman had fouled Dzeko in the area, but referee Stuart Attwell waved play on. Four minutes before the break Silva put Dzeko through on goal, but the Bosnian's shot was turned around the post by Hennessey.
Seven minutes after the restart, the hosts made the breakthrough as Hennessey made a hash of dealing with a backpass.
Aguero challenged the goalkeeper and the ball spun to Dzeko, who lofted it into the net for his fifth in three games.
City had their second when Hennessey parried Silva's shot and Kolarov tucked away an easy finish.
City appeared to be cruising, but they were reduced to 10 men when Hart spilled a shot from Adlene Guedioura and Kompany impeded Doyle.
Hunt dispatched the spot-kick, but City made sure at the death as Adam Johnson collected Yaya Toure's pass and fired in.
