- In the wake of Cindy Williams' death, celebrities are paying tribute by praising her career and sharing their memories with her. Cindy's 'American Graffiti' co-star, Ron Howard, told ET, 'I saw her last year in Palm Springs at an event and still saw that sparkle in her eyes. It’s so hard to imagine that she’s gone.' Suzanne Somers, Henry Winkler, Michael McKean and Anson Williams also remember their time with the 'Laverne & Shirley' star.
Another very sad loss from our youth. Rest In Peace Cindy ❤️🙏🏻🥺🥺
Not only did she have a big heart, but she had a big beautiful smile that made everyone happy along with her comic humor. Cindy will be forever missed. RIP!
They don't make shows like that anymore...All garbage on television today.😭
@@ameliaerin1544 👍retro television shows forever baby 📺
I was in an acting class with her when she was on the show. She never stopped working on her craft. And she was a lovely, sweet person.
She was a memorable character actor from a time when TV programming was worth watching. Thank you Cindy for all the smiles and HAPPY you brought to ppl. 😊
You mean shows like Three's Company & high quality shows such as that? Lol . Oh yeah such great programming! Many memorable blockbuster shows! Only thing worse than that is the current lineup of crap.
It's so sad to see the stars that made us happy and laugh while growing up pass away. RIP Cindy and Penny, one of the greatest duos of TV history !!!
One of the greatest duos in TV history? You gotta be kidding me! You're putting them in some serious company friend! They were mediocre at best. But that's my opinion. I definitely preferred Cindy to her counterpart for sure. But, RIP Cindy.
@@anthonyangeli256 ..yep..that’s your opinion!!
Laverne & Shirley was one of the highest rated sitcom for many years.
It was hilarious. Miss both Cindy & Penny…😢
RIP Cindy Williams, you will be missed a lot!
Miss u too 😚😘😘😘
Penny Marshall now Cindy Williams rip to both of you 🙏🙏
I'm so sad...I loved her. Laverne and Shirley was part of my childhood.😪
Mine too...a piece of my childhood dies too everytime we lose sitcom stars...there's not much left.🙏✌️❤️
She was a legend. She was very beautiful and a very talented actress. She really was optimistic and positive like her character Shirley. I loved her.She seemed like a genuine and very kind person.You can't fake that.🧡🧡🧡🧡
R.I.P Cindy 😔🙏 You were such a beautiful, talented, funny woman. My condolences to your family 🙏 God bless you all.
she was my fav on the show, so beautiful and super cute. Great talent. I was fortunate enough to meet her in 2002, I gave her a VHS tape of the L&S cartoon, she was so grateful! R.I.P.
Iconic Ledgend! You touched the world with your talent and kindness. I was so fortunate to meet you and person and bring my Mom to your show in Newton, NC on April 13, 2022. We will forever love you Cindy.
Rest well Cindy
All my love ,and condolences to her family ,friends, and fans! She will be missed 🙏🏾❤.
I bursted into tears when I heard the news, then my crying turned into laughter once I thought of my favorite scenes from the show. Rest in Peace Cindy Williams and Penny Marshall.
Such a sweet lady - so talented and understated. She was a part of my teen years i treasure! RIP Cindy ❤
Rest in peace Cindy Williams prayers for Cindy Williams loved ones
I met Cindy briefly when I lived in Austin Texas back in 1987. She was making a film called "Save the Dog" for The Disney Channel when it was still a pay network. She was polite and shook my hand and asked me how I was doing. Such class. I had a real big crush on her when I was a sophomore in high school, so meeting her was a real treat. RIP Ms. Williams.
When Ron Howard and Henry Winkler pass away....it will be the end of a monumental era for 1970s ABC sitcom history (to TRY to put it briefly) - the stalwarts Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy, and Three's Company. Cindy is with Laverne, Carmine, Squiggy, Jack Tripper and Mork right now. Wow.
R.I.P Cindy Williams, she definitely left her mark on this world.
Gave me so many wonderful comedic moments. L & S was so fresh, so fun. I loved the physical comedy they used a lot, reminded me of Lucy. And Cindy was good at drama as well. I pray her loved ones are comforted with all their great memories. She was a class act. TY Shirl !!
They really were Lucy and Ethel in that respect. Glad the show wasn't a replica of ILL, though.
Thanks for being part of my childhood.Much love Cindy Williams.
So sorry for the loss of Cindy. Sending love & prayers from my family to her family & friends🙏 Death leaves a heartache no one Can heal. Love leaves a memory no one Can steal🕊
My whole family especially my grandmother loved watching her and other shows back in the day similarly to her shows. R.i.p Cindy.
This one hit hard. I was always a huge Cindy fan. Of all the original ABC Tuesday night ladies she was my favorite.
I used to watch reruns when I was younger. I’m so sad. The show had been over for nearly 25+ years before I watched it and it became one of my favs. Hopefully penny and Cindy are together, smiling down on their former costars.
This makes me so sad. Cindy was my mom's generation. My mom passed 18 years ago. So many legends passing. RIP Cindy! ❤️
That moment when her and Howard were walking in the high school gym spotlight as they were in the middle of breaking up as she desperately buries her tears on his shoulder as they dance was absolutely stunning and just made your heart pound. She was a different kind of cute with those gorgeous blue eyes. Poor Cindy.
She was the "older woman". About 5 years difference, I think.
Just recently watched her in “The Conversation“ with Gene Hackman from 1974. Always loved her screen presence!
RIP sweetheart. I was raised up on Lavern and Shirley back in the legendary 1970s. Great show,great memories.
RIP Cindy Williams!
🕯🙏🕯
I just lost a close friend and he was the same type of person that everyone is describing Ms. Williams kind and gracious
Rest in the Light beautiful Cindy 💗
Love Cindy, I watch Laverne and Shirley every day on Pluto TV. Both were great actresses who will be missed. Rest In Peace Shirley Feeney!!
You were so special...rest easy Cindy Williams.🙏✌️❤️💛💜
RIP Cindy Williams
thanks for the laughter and fun.
L&S was 1 of my all time favorite shows
Rest in peace Cindy 🙏 you were such a class act and will be missed very much 😇
Exactly, another loss from our youth. You will be missed Ms. Williams. Rest in peace. Thank you for the laughs.
Geeze, one half of one of the greatest duos on TV, RIP Cindy, you and Penny are missed, "Laverne and Shirley" will live o n in repeats forever..
Great lady and a terrific actress ! Laverne & Shirley always brought a smile to my face. I hope you and Penny are cracking up the angels!!!
Such a great talented lady...her smile has always made me smile. Thanks for all of the laughter and joy you gave to us all Cindy. Rest in peace Cindy.
You will be missed......back when television was good......RIP and thank you
75... Seems a young age. Rest in Peace beautiful lady. We already miss you 🌹👸❤️
75 is far from young. But I see your point when people are living to see their 90's and beyond. I really liked the show as a kid and teen. Glad to know she was a nice person. RIP.
@@cocoaorange1 thank you for the reply. Enjoyed both "Happy Days" & "Laverne and Shirley". Hugs 😉
and no one stated what she passed away from maybe they don't know
@@rockandroller8352 thought I read or heard on another video, due to an illness but not specific. Thank you
@@j.lietka9406 an illness can be anything
Cindy Thank You For Making Me Laugh You Will Never Ever Be Forgotten Rest In Peace Angel Face ❤️💔
Rest in peace sweet lady. Thanks for the memories.
I grew up watching the reruns of Laverne & Shirley on my local station. I also remember as a kid the first run episodes airing on Tuesdays. My Sister and my Cuz would always reenact the intro.
Another part of my childhood gone. RIP
Can't believe she's gone She will be missed 😞
I remember Cindy she was a fantastic actress, but as so many people have said was about her smile, she beamed truly beamed, she was a lovely thoughtful kind lady. R.I.P open your wings and fly high with the angels up above. God bless. My deepest sympathy to all her family members and very close friends
My heart is broken. I really loved that show. The two of them were hilarious. Very sad to hear of her passing.
She was so great in that wonderful show. Thank you Cindy, for bringing us much joy...❤
Loved Cindy Williams and Penny Marshall. God bless them both. When ever I would see Cindy,an automatic smile was on my face 😊. ❤️🙏✝️✌️
I saw a American Graffiti when it came out. I was 15 but I saw it with my sister ( 16) and a few friends 16 and 17. Loved it. Driving home there was an older couple in a car next to us and the girls shouted ain't he neat. Kevin ( the only male and driver ) turned a bright shade of pink.
Thank you for sharing this. So many wonderful memories flooded back watching this. May she RIP. Lifting prayers & condolences for her loved ones. God Bless You & stay safe.
It was a great show, her and Laverne doing physical comedy as well as heart felt acting. Their portrayal of women friendship is rare in film. Ms Williams seemed a genuine kind God fearing lady.
wonderful memories. Love you Shirley Finney! People forget that Cindy Williams was in 2 movies nominated for BEST PICTURE!!
The Conversation (1974) and American Graffiti (1973)!!

Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams there will never be a funny duo like that again I remember them from my child hood good clean show . To bad they don't make shows like that anymore . Tired of all the crappy shows that are on now . That show was just good clean wholesome comedy. My Cindy Williams rest in peace.
RIP Cindy, you made a lot of people laugh ❤😢
She's done everything from American Graffiti to Happy Days to the spin-off, Laverne and Shirley, to another Miller-Boyett undercover gem, Getting By---she will be missed dearly.
💖 Rest in peace Cindy.
I remember the Tuesday lineup of Happy Days, LA Verne and Shirley, 3's Company, Too close for comfort, and Hart to Hart
My childhood.
🙏🙏🙏I just loved her especially on Laverne and Shirley
Laverne & Shirley - a sorely missed 📺 show! RIP Sweet Lady..💯

I will truly miss Cindy. May she rest in peace.❤️🙏🙏
Yes dear Cindy..your heart was so big..it touched many other hearts I know God has a special place prepared for you..
Coincidence that I haven’t seen Laverne and Shirley for over 30 years and just last week (just before she passed) I decided to watch the opening of the show on TH-cam.
I had a huge crush on Cindy. I think the first time I saw her was American Graffiti. I thought she was so attractive, in a huge way. RIP Cindy. She was very young looking for a long time. That is why some people are shocked at how old she was.
American Graffiti...great movie with a very young star studded cast.
LOVED Laverne & Shirley! Rest in Peace, Cindy Williams.
So sad to hear this news....Such a sweetie pie, No more Lavern and Shirley I loved them both so much...
Yeh grew up in this era,always had a sense of genuineness,if that's what you call it,seems like yesterday,rest in peace.
My favorite forever 💔🌹 rest easy angel face i will miss you so much 💕 💔
The worst part about growing upin the 70's & 80's is seeing all of your favorites slowly fade into the beyond. I love TV.
Very sad loved the show her and laverne were amazingly talented
I watched every episode-all year long for years. she was beautiful and worked well with Laverne. I felt like I knew them.

Rest in peace God bless the family 😢😢
Loved her on their show. Lavern and Shirley was a fantastic show.
god bless her soul this was one of the best tv shows to ever hit television rest in peace cindy williams.
I remembered back in the late 80's, Laverne and Shirley was one of my earliest TV shows I'd ever seen. Cindy reminds so much of my mother because they're both were born in 1947. When my mother was in her 30's, she looked just like Cindy with the clothes and hair. When I found out she passed, my heart was down. Rest in peace Cindy ♥️, I hope you enjoy your new world out there.
💔😪Lord WE Love
Our Yesterday's Stars 🌟 Papa. We Are ALL
Pretty Sad 😔 😟 🙁 😥
Both Cindy Williams and Penny Marshall died at age 75 R.I.P. to both of them. Eddie Mekka passed away a few years ago the only living cast member is Michael Mckean.
...and Michael McKean just turned...you guessed it...75.
No, Leslie Easterbrook ('Rhonda' in Seasons 6-8), and Ed Marinaro ('Sonny' in Season 6) are also still with us. But Michael McKean ('Lenny') is the last surviving member of the original cast.
