Penny Marshall had me audition 6 times for a role and then I didn\u2019t get it. She didn\u2019t know that I would audition for her forever. It was a treat to be in the room. She was glorious. #RIPPennyMarshall<\/a><\/p>\n

At a time when men dominated, #pennymarshall<\/a> broke barriers as a director, giving us hit after hit. A League of their Own, Awakenings, & Big aren\u2019t simply great movies. They r classics made by a director who was simultaneously setting up shots while breaking down walls. RIP<\/p>\n
