The 'League of Their Own' director and 'Laverne & Shirley' star has died at the age of 75.. Penny Marshall, star of both the big and small screen, died Monday night at the age of 75.. Marshall, a Bronx native, started as an actress in television but went on to shatter records as a top-grossing female director in Hollywood. She first rose to fame for playing Laverne DeFazio on Laverne & Shirley, the Happy Days spinoff created by her brother Garry. Laverne & Shirley aired for eight seasons from 1976-83, and Marshall then went on to helm films such as Big (1988), Awakenings (1990), A League of Their Own (1992) and The Renaissance Man (1994). With Awakenings, she became the second woman ever to direct a best picture Oscar nominee, while Big is recognized as the first film helmed by a woman to gross more than $100 million.. From being a TV star to a leading female director, here is some of Marshall's most memorable work in film and television. . 1 Paul Sand in Friends and Lovers. Along with guest stints on series such as The Bob Newhart Show and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Marshall starred in a recurring role on the short-lived sitcom Paul Sand in Friends and Lovers. The sitcom was created by James L. Brooks and Allan Burns and followed the personal relationships of a musician in Boston. Friends and Lovers, which marked Sand's only starring role in a series, first aired in 1974 and ended a year later. . 2 Laverne & Shirley. Marshall appeared on the Happy Days spinoff Laverne & Shirley from 1976-83, playing Laverne DeFazio, the best friend of Shirley Feeney (Cindy Williams), who worked as a bottle-capper at the fictitious Shotz Brewery in Milwaukee. The show ran for eight seasons and went on to become the highest-rated series for the 1977-78 and 1978-79 seasons. Laverne & Shirley was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award in 1979.. 3 More Than Friends. Marshall starred opposite Rob Reiner in the 1978 ABC telefilm More Than Friends, co-written by Reiner and based on the early days of their courtship. Earlier, Reiner had played her fiance, named Sheldn (they forgot the “o” on his birth certificate, as the gag went), on The Odd Couple.. 4 Jumpin' Jack Flash'. Whoopi Goldberg starred in Marshall’s 1986 feature directing debut Jumpin' Jack Flash, an action-comedy about bank office worker Terry Doolittle (Goldberg), who connects with a mysterious computer user (Jonathan Pryce) by the name of Jumpin' Jack Flash.

Marshall directed Tom Hanks in 1988's Big, a comedy that centers on a 12-year-old who makes a wish “to be big” and then magically ages into adulthood overnight. The film, which also starred Elizabeth Perkins and Robert Loggia, was co-produced by James L. Brooks, who brought the script to Marshall. Big was recognized as the first movie directed by a woman
