Penny Marshall, the trailblazing direc
tor of smash-hit big-screen comedies such
as “Big” and “A League of Their Own” who
first indelibly starred in the top-rated sitcom
“Laverne & Shirley,” has died. 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.

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.
