Cool Book1

Penny Marshall-is cool! I love her on Laverne & Shirley, which is my fave show & on Nick-@-Nite on Saturdays. I'm getting the book for Christmas. I like the other cast members of L & S: Cindy Williams, Michael McKean, David L. Lander, Betty Garrett, Phil Foster, & Eddie Mekka-along w/most of the guest stars.

A Penny for your thoughts

Sure she has a famous brother who provided her a way in to showbiz, but who's to say that she wouldn't have made it herself? "We'll do it our way, and make all our dreams come true." She's certainly talented enough. The cool thing about this book is that it's more than a biography. It's about television in the sixties and seventies, too, because Penny had some kind of connection with all the big shows through her brother Garry, her husband Rob Reiner, or any of her many famous friends.
