The former NCIS star went on to Twitter to pay tribute to the deceased. She wrote; ‘I LOVED #PennyMarshall! The first time I met her, I spontaneously threw my hands around her, and she didn’t mind a bit. She was so awesome!
The Hollywood sweetheart died on Monday morning at her Hollywood Hills home due to complications from diabetes. Most people will remember Marshall from the hit ABC series, ‘Laverne and Shirley’; she played the memorable character, Laverne DeFazio.
She’d also gone on to become one of the most iconic women in the industry’s history. Some of her achievements include becoming the first woman to direct a film that grossed more than $100 million. She did that twice, and that made her the first woman to direct two films that grossed more than $100 million.
