Sadly, Cindy William passed away at the age of 75. Williams is best known for her TV role as Shirley in Laverne and Shirley. Laverne and Shirley aired on ABC in the 1970's as a part of classic wholesome evening sitcoms that aired at the time. In fact, the show came from a TV lineage that included Happy Days, Mork from Ork and Joanie Loves Chachi. Classics then, however not all stand the test of time. But they were the real deal for Americans at the time. Much simpler times, in fact.
