Laverne died (movies, actors, film, characters)

She has not looked well the past 10 years or so. Not a great surprise, though not one that was imminently expected.

Actress and director Penny Marshall dies at age 75

Penny Marshall, who starred in "Laverne & Shirley" before becoming one of the top-grossing female directors in Hollywood, has died. She was 75.

Mashall's publicist, Michelle Bega, said Marshall passed away in her Hollywood Hills, Calif., home on Monday due to complications from diabetes.

Aw. One of the good ones, a quiet professional in a loud look-at-me world.

Rest in Peace Penny!

She suffered from cancer about 10 years ago and had diabetes.
