Marshall, who created and executive produced some of the most popular
sitcoms on TV - Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, The Odd Couple and
Mork & Mindy, among them - and directed the box-office smash Pretty

Marshall,
the older brother of director-actress Penny Marshall, died from
complications of pneumonia following a stroke at a hospital in Burbank, a
