Garry Marshall passed away at the age of 81 this past week. Mr. Marshall produced many hit movies and TV shows including Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, and Pretty Woman. Mr. Marshall helped launch the careers of many including Henry Winkler, Julia Roberts, and the late, great Robin Williams.
Many other sites will cover the death of Mr. Marshall with more depth and eloquence than I can write here. As someone who aspires to work in TV, I can only hope to have a career in TV that has half of the influence that Mr. Marshall's has had. I remember watching a documentary on PBS entitled, Make'em Laugh where Garry Marshall talked about how he was influenced by comedians such as Jack Benny and Phil Silvers. Mr. Marshall has certainly influenced countless generations with his work.
Rest in Peace, Mr. Marshall. Your contributions will never be forgotten.
THE PROFESSOR
