Garry Marshall, ‘Pretty Woman’ Director, Dead At 81

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/garry-marshall-dead-dies_us_578ee623e4b0f180da639a00?section=

Garry Marshall, a prolific writer and director of classic films including “Pretty Woman” and “Runaway Bride,” has died at the age of 81, a spokeswoman, Michelle Bega, confirmed to The Huffington Post. Marshall died from complications of pneumonia following a stroke.

A native of New York City, Marshall had been active in Hollywood since 1959. He created such television series as “Happy Days,” “Mork and Mindy” and “Laverne and Shirley” and was responsible for a number of classic romantic comedies, several of which starred Julia Roberts.

Tributes began pouring in Tuesday evening from many who starred in Marshall’s movies or shows and knew him. Henry Winkler, known as The Fonz on “Happy Days,” called Marshall the “definition of a friend.”



He created almost half of all the TV shows I watched in the 70s... Chat Icon

I heard this on the radio this morning on my way to work. Such a terrible loss of a very talented man. He's the man who gave us Robin Williams for the first time Chat Icon And yes, created so many of the tv shows we all grew up with (I'm on the younger side, but watched MANY many re-runs of these shows).

So sad Chat Icon
