The late Garry Marshall (1934-2016) is the second member of his family to headline one of these articles; his sister Penny was featured here a few weeks ago. Marshall began working in television in the late 1950s, working as a writer on shows like The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Lucy Show, and then began developing/creating his own shows.

Mork & Mindy was a big hit during its first season, but didn’t have the staying power of Marshall’s other shows. Starting in the 1980s, Marshall moved into directing films. He has been consistently known for comedies, and recently for hyperlink rom-coms like Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day. However, his biggest achievements as a director have almost certainly been the films that introduced us to a pair of major stars, Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman and Anne Hathaway in The Princess Diaries.
