Penny Marshall - Personal Life

Personal Life

While attending the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, Marshall met Michael Henry, a football player. She quit college after three years, married him in 1961, and they had a daughter, Tracy, who later guest-starred on Laverne & Shirley. Marshall worked as a secretary and later as a tap dance teacher. The marriage lasted two years. On April 10, 1971, Marshall married actor/director Rob Reiner, and her daughter took the name of Tracy Reiner. The marriage would last until 1981. Soon after her divorce from Reiner, Marshall dated actor Larry Breeding, who subsequently went on to guest star on Laverne & Shirley during its seventh and eighth seasons. The two were still involved when Breeding was killed in a car accident on the Hollywood Freeway on September 28, 1982 (with his third Laverne & Shirley appearance airing posthumously).

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:

    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    We should seek by all means in our power to avoid war, by analysing possible causes, by trying to remove them, by discussion in a spirit of collaboration and good will. I cannot believe that such a programme would be rejected by the people of this country, even if it does mean the establishment of personal contact with the dictators.
    Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)

    How many women ... waste life away the prey of discontent, who might have practised as physicians, regulated a farm, managed a shop, and stood erect, supported by their own industry, instead of hanging their heads surcharged with the dew of sensibility, that consumes the beauty to which it at first gave lustre ...
    Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
