She did that twice, and that made her the first woman to direct two films that grossed more than $100 million.

Marshall was also the second woman director to have her movie get an Oscar nomination for best picture. Rob Reiner, Marshall’s ex-husband of 8 years ago joined in the mourning; writing about his ex-wife on Twitter.

‘I love Penny,’ he wrote. ‘I grew up with her. She was born with a great gift. She was born with a funny bone and the instinct of how to use it. I was so lucky to have lived with her and her funny bone. I will miss her.
