Read Penny Marshall dead at 75, best known as TV's Laverne and director of 'Big,' 'A League of Their Own' (NY Daily News)

Bronx-born Penny Marshall, who found ‘70s sitcom success on “Laverne and Shirley” before stepping behind the camera for Hollywood hits like “Big” and “A League of Their Own,” died Monday night at her California home. She was 75.

Sorry to hear about her passing. Her films Jumpin’ Jack Flash, Big, and Awakenings are some of my favorite movies and had a tremendous influence on me.
