Blind Item #2
Sometime within the past year I told you about the A list television actress from the hit show back in the day who turned into an A list mostly movie director and how lung cancer is killing her. Apparently things have taken a turn for the worse and she is selling her homes and is moving into a hospice facility. There is also talk of converting one of her smaller homes into a home hospice.
Penny Marshall
ReplyDeleteSofia Coppola if he considers Another World a hit.
ReplyDeletePenny too....
ReplyDeleteeven though IMDB doesn't include her on their list of actors/directors
ReplyDeleteFrom an interview with Fox411 in 2012:
ReplyDeleteFOX411: How is your health these days?
PM: Well I had lung cancer and that mesta, whatever that word is (metastasized) on my brain. I felt no pain or anything by the way. The rags said I had liver cancer, I don’t drink! They made up s**t, I’m sorry about my language but I get pissed at these things. But I’m fine now.

Yep. Penny. Although she has been denying it. I loved her on Laverne and Shirley. How sad this is.
ReplyDeleteDid not we had the same blind before?
ReplyDeleteNOOO! Not Laverne!!
ReplyDeleteWow, she's lived reeeaalllyyy long after a diagnosis of lung cancer metastatic to the brain. A year is just about the best one can hope for and that's usually quite a stretch.
ReplyDeleteI hope she has good docs & good drugs for her final chapter.
Yes, at least it was very similar. It was about Marshall's cancer and her imminent demise. It wasn't about her selling her houses and I don't know why she'd have to at this point.
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Penny is a great Director.
ReplyDeleteWas she Lenny or Squiggy?
ReplyDeleteShe was beautiful in her prime and a true acting inspiration for women in that time.
