Penny Marshall, RIP
Dave Pell has my favorite short bio of Penny Marshall, who passed away today at 75.
She directed Big and Awakenings. She “was the first woman to direct a film that grossed more than $100 million, the first woman to direct two films that grossed more than $100 million, and she was only the second woman director to see her film Oscar-nominated for best picture.” But before all that, she was Laverne.
