It was Big. She also directed A League of Their Own. She had a deft hand at comedy whether directing, writing or performing it. Lavernne always reminded me of my aunt Marty.R.I.P., I never liked Laverne and Shirley which was a spin-off from Happy Days. She was one of the first successful female directors, earning more than $100 million on that Tom Hanks movie, Splash?.
