Cindy Williams: R.I.P.

[SnidelyWhiplash]

The actress who portrayed Shirley Feeney has passed. Not only a 70s TV icon, she was in American Graffiti & the Conversation.

R.I.P.

Very sad news.
She filmed a movie (Save The Dog) here with Tony Randall in 1988.
She, and Penny Marshall were great as Laverne & Shirley.
RIP, and thanks, ma’am.

Always liked her. Sad to hear this. We were the same age.

Man January is getting crowded with this kind of news. Nice lady from all accounts. I probably watched them on TV but that was back during my drinking days, and I really don't remember. I'm sorry to see another personality that was from a bygone era gone.

I loved that show.
Came on right after Happy Days.

She was one of my first crushes. Now I’m sad.

Funny sitcom. Really enjoyed "Shirley". RIP Ms. Williams

Besides Lavern and Shirley, we were blessed with "Lenny and the Squigtones".

RIP to David "Squiggy" Lander and Penny "Lavern" Marshall too.

RIP Cindy Williams, I loved watching Laverne and Shirley reruns as a kid. At least she, David L. Lander and Penny Marshall can make more episodes in heaven.

Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams were both good actors on Laverne and Shirley, however, they also had a pretty well documented estrangement from each other. At least they reconciled.

God bless her soul. May she Rest In Peace.

She auditioned for the role of Princess Leia but it went to Carrie instead. That would have been interesting. RIP.

I can still sing the theme song all the way through (man did shows have proper theme songs back in the 70s), indelible stamp on my pre-adolescent brain along with Happy Days.

She was just here doing a one woman show at local theater. Not my thing, but wish I'd gone of course.

RIP lady, say hi to Penny.
