TV legend
Garry Marshall has passed away. While he made his career in creating popular television shows like
The Odd Couple, Happy Days, and
Laverne & Shirley, he also found success directing on the big screen.
Overboard (1987),
Beaches (1988), and
Pretty Woman (1990) were smash hits, and proved that female stars like Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Julia Roberts could rule the box-office as well as their male counterparts. Marshall was able to grasp the female perspective and make it the focal point of the comedy- and not the butt of the joke. I wonder if St. Peter is going to pull
the jewelry box gag on Marshall when he enters the pearly gates.
