Goodbye, Laverne

Never heard of her, but RIP.
Were you one of those people abducted as a child and locked away in a cell your entire life? You might not know Laverne and Shirley but she directed several movies that anyone not locked away in a cell their entire life has seen or at least heard of. A League of Their Own (“There’s no crying in baseball!”), Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Big, Awakenings, etc. She had a remarkable career. RIP.

I may have been. I’ve heard of A league of their own, but never saw it. Haven’t heard of the others...

You've never heard of the movie "Big", with Tom Hanks?

And, "Awakenings" is an amazing film. Robert De Niro, Robin Williams, and Julie Kavner. Based on a true story.

One of the best Happy Days episodes is when Laverne & Shirley were first introduced.
 
Penny was a very talented filmmaker and actress. A League of Their Own and Big are both classics. Jumpin Jack Flash is a highly enjoyable one as well. Her work will definitely stand the test of time. Sad to hear of her passing.
