„She was born with a funnybone and the instinct of how to use it.“
Penny Marshall’s ex-husband, Rob Reiner, took to social media after her death was announced. The actress-turned-director died Monday in her Hollywood Hills home following complications from diabetes. She was 75 years old.
Reiner—who is best known for hits like All in the Family, This is Spinal Tap, A Few Good Men and The Wolf of Wall Street —said he was saddened by the news.
“So sad about Penny,” he wrote. “I loved Penny. I grew up with her. She was born with a great gift. She was born with a funnybone and the instinct of how to use it. I was very lucky to have lived with her and her funnybone. I will miss her.”
Reiner and Marshall married in 1971, two years before of her success with Laverne & Shirley.
