Cindy Williams, who played Shirley on “Laverne & Shirley” alongside the late Penny Marshall, has died at the age of 75. The show was hugely successful and, at one point, was the most watched sitcom in the country. Cindy left the show in 1982 and it was canceled shortly after. She starred on Broadway and did guest appearances on shows like “8 Simple Rules.” Her family released a statement, saying that “Knowing and loving her has been our joy and privilege.”
