FRIDAY HALL OF FAMERS 03/06/20 - PENNY MARSHALL

Last year, Laverne DeFazio was inducted into the Television Crossover Hall of Fame in tribute to Penny Marshall.  (She had been eligible for years, but it always felt as though we had time to do it.)

This year we complete the tribute to the late actress and director by inducting her as herself during the month in which we celebrate the League of Themselves.

From Wikipedia:
Carole Penny Marshall (October 15, 1943 – December 17, 2018) was an American actress, director, and producer. She came to notice in the 1970s for her role as Laverne DeFazio on the television sitcom ‘Laverne & Shirley’ (1976–1983), receiving three nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy for her portrayal.

Marshall made her directorial debut with “Jumpin' Jack Flash” (1986) before directing “Big” (1988), which became the first film directed by a woman to gross more than $100 million at the U.S. box office. Her subsequent directing credits included “Awakenings” (1990), which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, “A League of Their Own” (1992), “Renaissance Man” (1994), “The Preacher's Wife” (1996) and “Riding in Cars with Boys” (2001). She also produced “Cinderella Man” (2005) and “Bewitched” (2005), and directed episodes of the TV series ‘According to Jim’ and ‘United States of Tara’.

Here are the TV series in which she played herself and which qualified her for membership in the TVXOHOF:

Bones
- The Woman at the Airport (2006)

REPORTER:
I'm here with Penny Marshall, one of the most prolific "hyphenates" in Hollywood. Actress, producer and director of such hits as "A League Of Their Own" and "Big". Her latest project is "Bred In The Bone", a thriller based on the bestselling novel by crime-fighting anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan. OK, so how did this all come together?
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN:
I have no idea.
PENNY MARSHALL:
Well, my brother Garry gave me the book, and I liked it, And then this whole bidding war started, and I usually don't get into that kind of thing, but in this case….
REPORTER:
A bidding war? That's got to be a thrill for a first-time author.
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN:
I wasn't actually there.
REPORTER:
You must be a big fan of Penny's films. So which one's your favorite? I enjoyed her humorous treatment of the time/space paradox.
REPORTER:
"Big"! Very funny.
PENNY MARSHALL:
"Time/space paradox"….
REPORTER:
Penny, who is going to write the script?
DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN:
Don't I get to do that?
PENNY MARSHALL:
We'll talk.

The Bronx Is Burning
- Past Combatants (2007)

O’Bservation:
Her appearance in this was archival footage, so somebody on the Yankees or at the police precinct was probably watching ‘Laverne & Shirley’.

Welcome to the Hall, Ms. Marshall....
