EXCLUSIVE: Director and actress and producer Penny Marshall has signed with Shelter Entertainment Group President Alan Iezman for management, and with APA for agency representation in all area. The helmer of such classics as Big, Awakenings (an Oscar Best Picture contender), and A League Of Their Own was the first female director to gross in excess of $100 million at the U.S. box office. Marshall also starred as the iconic LaVerne DeFazio on ABC’s hit show Laverne and Shirley from 1976-1983. We all need a little more Penny right now.
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.

Soooooo much in need. Go Penny!
If we can get another League of Their Own or Big…Hooray!!
Good for APA. Would no one else take her?
Where was she before? Maybe she mistrusts the bigs.
Hooray! We love Penny!!
A director who makes movies for grown-ups that have humor and heart. We could all use a nit of Penny at the multiplex.
The first thing that comes to mind whenever I hear Penny Marshall’s name is from the tell-all book “Hit & Run: How Jon Peters and Peter Guber Took Sony For A Ride in Hollywood” where the authors revealed that Penny had a huge, yet insanely fragile ego, and the only reason she signed with Columbia/Sony was because she got free use of a private plane.
“huge, yet insanely fragile ego” seems to describe 99% of Hollywood. Welcome back to the club, Penny
(and in all honesty, I really have missed her films)
Easily three of the best movies of the late 80′s-early 90′s. Where’s she been?
I am so happy Penny’s health has improved. Good for her!
YAY! I hope this means she’s feeling better!!! Welcome back, Penny!!!!! Boy, have we missed you!!!!
great director, great actress, now has a great manager. can’t wait to see what is up for her! alan, great sign, Congratulations
I too hope this means you are feeling better Penny. Good luck and be well and happy always. You deserve that for bringing us so much joy. Thank you.
