She was 75. Michelle Bega, a spokeswoman for the Marshall family, said Tuesday that Marshall died in her Los Angeles home on Monday night due to complications from dia betes. “Our family is heartbro ken,” the Marshall family said in a statement. In “Laverne & Shirley,” among television’s biggest hits for much of its eight-season run between 1976-1983, the nasal-voiced, Bronx-born Marshall starred as Laverne DeFazio along side Cindy Williams as a pair of blue-collar roommates toiling on the assembly line of a Milwaukee brewery. A spinoff of “Happy Days,” the series was the rare network hit about working-class characters, and its self- empowering opening song (“Give her any chance, she’ll take it/ Give her any rule, she’ll break it”) foreshadowed Marshall’s own path as a pioneering female filmmaker in Hollywood. “Almost everyone had a theory about why ‘Laverne & Shirley’ took off,” Marshall wrote in her 2012 memoir “My Mother Was Nuts.” I thought it was simply because Laverne and Shirley were poor and there were no poor people on TV, but there were plenty of them sitting at home and watching TV.” Marshall directed several episodes of “Laverne & Shir ley,” which her older brother, the late filmmaker-producer Garry Marshall, created. Those episodes helped launch Marshall as a filmmaker. When Whoopi Goldberg clashed with director Howard Zieff, she brought in Marshall to direct “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” the 1986 comedy starring Goldberg. “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” did fair business, but Marshall’s next film made her the first woman to direct a film that grossed more than $100 million. Her 1988 hit comedy “Big,” starring Tom Hanks, was about a 12-year-old boy who wakes up in the body of a 30-year-old New York City man. The film, which earned Hanks an Oscar nomination, grossed $151 million worldwide, or about $320 million accounting for inflation.

SINGLE COPY The Times is available at retail stores, newspaper racks and at The Times for $1.00 Mon.-Sat. and $2.00 on Sun. ARIES (March 21 -April 19). It’s time to reach out and risk. Fol low your daring impulse, pitch your idea or extend your offer. Regardless of whether you get the result you were hoping for or not, the spontaneity will invigorate you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re not in it alone; the oth ers just haven’t joined you yet. They don’t yet know enough to come into the picture. So start telling people what you’re do ing, and what you need. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). No one is born with charac ter. Character is the natural outcropping of your choices, mainly the little ones today. Each small challenge is a chance to rise up and meet the moment with grace. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It may help you to think of your thoughts as items scattered around the rooms of your mind, some of little or no value, others pearls. You can go in and tidy up just as you would your home. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Children need different things at age 5 than they do at age thirteen, and here you are, grown, and still growing, needing different things as you go. In a new stage, you might not be sure what you need, but experiments will show you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can like a person and still dislike the person’s behavior. It won’t help to criticize though. For now, just observe with a compassion ate heart. It’s very likely things will turn around on their own. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23) . There’s a lot of information out there you don’t need to or want to know. The way to filter it is to figure out what you do want to know and go deeper and deeper into that area of knowledge. All else will fade on the periphery. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The words of William Shakespeare in “King Henry IV” will apply. “The better part of valor is discretion, in which, better part I have saved my life.” Your life isn’t at stake, but your enjoyment may be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A person who is time rich and cash poor is in a far better posi tion than one in the opposite situation. With the drop of one responsibility, your time could open up unexpectedly. This is a golden opportunity indeed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Success will be a matter of sort ing. There will be a few things to match up: What you have to give, what you like to give, who needs such a thing, and who meets your qualifications of ex change. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Ambitions will drive you forward, and, because you choose such interesting ones, they drive you forward in novel ways, involving fascinating people and culminat ing in one-of-a-kind scenarios. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The power of habit is not to be un derestimated. Astrong habit can conquer any number of complex emotional conditions. It can settle the wilderness of the mind.
