Frankly, we were really worried when Laverne & Shirley star Penny Marshall fell ill back in 2009. She says she was diagnosed with lung cancer and a brain tumor and it didn’t sound good. But now she says she’s recovered and she’s back in action. She and Cindy Williams reunited for the first scripted TV show they’ve done together in 30 years: It’s Nickelodeon’s “Sam & Cat” – coincidentally about two girl roommates with opposite personalities starring Jeanette McCurdy and Ariana Grande. The reunion show is scheduled for this fall. (Cindy and Penny look great in the photo above from the set).

Cindy Williams Eddie Mekka Laverne & Shirley Sylvia

TOGETHER AGAIN: SHIRLEY FEENEY AND “THE BIG RAGU”

Cindy Williams played Shirley Feeney and Eddie Mekka played her boyfriend Carmine Ragusa on one of our favorite series, Laverne & Shirley, which ran from 1976 to 1983. Apparently they are on better terms than Cindy and her costar Penny Marshall, or so we hear. After all these years, Cindy and Eddie got together again to costar in a play called Sylvia in Edmonton, Canada. They appear as an aging married couple whose life is interrupted by a dog. Cindy and Eddie’s mini-reunion was a success and the play ran for two and a half months. (Top photo: Cindy and Eddie on Laverne & Shirley, Bottom photo: in the play Sylvia)

Cindy Williams Joanne Worley Laverne & Shirley The Odd Couple

“ODD COUPLE” CINDY WILLIAMS AND JOANNE WORLEY ARE A HIT AT THE JERSEY SHORE

A blast from the past! A different generation has taken up residence on the Jersey Shore – in Beach Haven, to be exact.“L averne & Shirley” star Cindy Williams and Joanne Worley from “Laugh-In” are doing summer theater there – and appearing together in the female version of Neil Simon’s ”The Odd Couple.” Cindy plays messy Olive Madison (the Jack Klugman role) and Joanne plays neat freak Florence Unger (the Tony Randall role.) The Jersey Shore is loving their show – it’s such a hit that the number of performances has already doubled for the 3 week gig and the stars have no time to go to the beach.
