Growing up in Milwaukee as I did, it’s hard to explain what a huge effect this show and Happy Days had on my childhood.

It’s easy to forget she also directed Awakenings.

I thought she was good as a director, certainly left her mark, and I am always for more women directors, but I think as Laverne she was so special.

I still remember seeing Bob Einstein as Officer Judy driving a motorbike onto the Smothers Brothers stage to arrest Liberace for playing the piano too fast.
