That angers and upsets his wife ...
While Penny Marshall landed her first feature directing job with Jumpin' Jack Flash, a few other movies could have easily been her filmmaking debut. Our crazy lives have meshed perfectly."

After their bodies were found, the Reiner family said in a statement to Variety, “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner.She was born with a great gift. and then they put underpants on their heads,' I would lose interest," Marshall explained.
Laverne and Shirley's many unique quirks helped make Laverne & Shirley something special, and perhaps there's no quirkier quirk from the beloved sitcom than Laverne's favorite drink: milk mixed with Pepsi.
But he’s got a wife and family now… We still get along.”
Before their divorce, Marshall opened up about the toll both of their successful careers were taking on their marriage.
“[Laverne & Shirley] has kept me so busy that I’m not moping around the house like I used to, which has taken some pressure off Rob,” Marshall told Ventura County Star, per MeTV.
That's so specific (and kind of gross-sounding) that it could only have come from real life. The street was "very wide," Marshall joked in her memoir My Mother Was Nuts (via Newsweek). “Since he started his Fire Sale movie and I got back into production of my series we haven’t seen one another too much.
But the whole thing starts off with Marshall and Williams skipping down the street, almost in sync, singing what seems like a schoolyard chant: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight / Sclemeel, schlemazel, hasenpfeffer incorporated."
As related to Good Morning America in 2012, that couplet actually is a schoolyard chant, a "Yiddish-English hopscotch rhyme" that Penny Marshall loved to sing on her way to school when she was a kid.
Penny Marshall and Garry Marshall (who passed away in 2016) were one of the few sibling pairs to find lasting fame in show business, just like the Osmonds and Carpenters, although way less creepy.
As Marshall discussed in her 2012 memoir My Mother Was Nuts (via Jezebel), she and Fisher got chummy in the late '70s when Paul Simon, Fisher's husband at the time, and his close friend, Saturday Night Live boss Lorne Michaels, introduced the two women, convinced they'd "hit it off." Simon and Michaels were right, but who could have predicted that beginning in 1981, the BFFs would throw annual joint birthday parties for themselves (both Marshall and Fisher had an October birthday).
Those parties because the stuff of Hollywood legend.
“I grew up with her. "I knew I couldn't sing," Marshall said in an episode of Biography.
She already belonged to the ages thanks to a long run on ABC's Laverne & Shirley, which aired from 1976 to 1983. I was very lucky to have lived with her and her funnybone. I think it’s been hardest on my daughter, Tracy.”
“The responsibility of running a family and doing a show — plus we just moved into a new house in Encino — has been impossible,” she said.
Instead, she majored in psychology at the University of New Mexico, and met a football player named Michael Henry. The actress and director was born Carole Marshall, after Golden Age of Hollywood legend Carole Lombard (per The Hollywood Reporter).
