Penny Marshall

The ‘Laverne and Shirley’ actress and ‘League of Their Own’ filmmaker died following complications from diabetes.

Let me start off by saying "Big" was one of my favorite movies to watch as a kid. It solidified my dream of being a toy tester (likely, my next career move), put playing the floor piano on my list of things to do when I visited NYC, and I was pretty certain that I would totally decorate my apartment someday the same way Josh Baskin did (bunk beds and Pepsi machine -- a must)...

It seems like everyone is penning a memoir. Penny Marshall is the latest to air her own dirty laundry.

I guess anyone can be scammed in this day and age. Why would someone want to scam Lavern or Penny Marshall? A very kind hearted Marshall lost $5,000.00 to a man she thought was Lamar Odom's assistant.
