Penny Marshall Video Interview On ‘My Mother Was Nuts’
Penny Marshall, 68, received her first big break when her brother, Garry, cast her as Laverne DeFazio in an episode of Happy Days in 1975. The following season, she reprised the role in her own series, Laverne & Shirley, co-starring Cindy Williams, which instantly shot to the top of the ratings and ran for eight seasons. After the series wrapped, Marshall went behind the camera, directing such hits as Big, A League of Their Own, Awakenings and The Preacher’s Wife.
