Marshall’s on-set stand-in wore a placard that read “Homely Girl,” while the stand-in for Fawcett had one reading “Pretty Girl.” Fawcett kindly decided to cross out the word “Homely” and wrote “Plain” instead. In her pre-fame days, Marshall quickly learned she didn’t fit the Hollywood stereotype when she co-starred in a Head & Shoulders shampoo commercial with a then-unknown blonde named Farrah Fawcett. There are stories of Calvin Klein tearing up the dance floor at high school parties and of Marshall hanging out with John Belushi and smelling pillows for Steven Spielberg.ĬNN recently sat down with the actress-director as she opened up about her incredible life: Marshall’s book reads like a Who’s Who of pop culture’s major players in the last half of the 20th century. Penny Marshall, most famous as the Pepsi- and milk-swigging half of “Laverne & Shirley,” reveals in her new memoir, “My Mother Was Nuts,” that her life off-camera has been just as crazy as anything that viewers saw on the screen.
