On December 17, 2018, Penny Marshall — the trailblazing actress-turned-director who shattered Hollywood’s glass ceiling with heart, humor, and an unmistakable Bronx accent — died from complications related to diabetes at the age of 75. A sitcom star who became one of the most successful female filmmakers in history, Marshall brought warmth and wit to both sides of the camera, helming hits like Big, A League of Their Own, and Awakenings. Her legacy endures in every woman who calls the shots, in every underdog story told with empathy, and in every film that dares to believe that laughs and tears can share the same frame.

Hosts: Derek Kaufman & Jason Beckerman
