While the world is flood- ed with troubling news, this upbeat, heartwarming retro- spective is sure to bring light and laughter into your home. Marshall, who died in 2016, was the driving force behind so many of Hollywood's most en- joyable classics, from shows such as "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley" to beloved films such as "Overboard" (1987) and "Pretty Woman" (1990) — he's even credited with writing the music video for Weezer's now-classic hit "Buddy Holly." The special re- views the many projects that made Marshall a household name and explores how Mar- shall got his start in Hollywood. Written and directed by John Scheinfeld, the special also fea- tures personal stories about Marshall's life, including inter- views with his wife, children and many famous friends. A dazzling array of stars gathered to film this retrospec- tive — the filming, of course, was done before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down most of the world. Ron Howard and Henry Winkler, the now-iconic stars of "Happy Days," provide insight into some of the writer- director-producer's earliest work, and they're a great ex- ample of the wonderful things that blossomed from Mar- shall's efforts. Howard is a two- time Oscar-winning director and Winkler is a Golden Globe winning actor, but, more im- portantly, the pair formed a bond that has endured throughout the decades. The friends have chosen to work together many times since "Happy Days," and watching them recount their experiences working together on Mar- shall's set in the 1970s is a real joy. The chimp from "Me and the Chimp" may not have been available for comment, but the rest of the stars that ABC has lined up have some glowing things to say about Marshall, whether they worked with him as a writer, director or producer. Anne Hathaway and Julie An- drews, for example, turn up to discuss their experiences work- ing on "The Princess Diaries" (2001) and "The Princess Dia- ries 2: Royal Engagement" (2004). Some of the other fa- miliar faces in the special in- clude Jennifer Garner ("13 Go- ing on 30," 2004), Rob Lowe ("Parks and Recreation"), John Stamos ("Full House"), Jimmy Kimmel ("Jimmy Kimmel Live!") and many more. They all share experiences and, to- gether, paint a picture of a man who brought romance and laughter into the lives of many. Though Marshall is best re- membered by the general pub- lic for his work in television and film, he was also a husband and father. He was married for 53 years to Barbara Marshall, and the couple had three chil- dren together: Kathleen, Lori and Scott. When Marshall died on July 19, 2016, at the age of 81, he left behind a multi-fac- eted legacy, one of love and laughter, hard work and deter- mination, creativity and beau- ty. A very well attended memo- rial was held on his birthday a few months later, and the strength of his influence on Hollywood remains powerful today. While Marshall's big-screen contributions include many of the most beloved romantic comedies of all time, he re- ceived very few critical awards for his efforts, and though he was nominated for five Emmys (for "Mork & Mindy" and "The Odd Couple"), he never took one home. It's an important lesson for those in the busi- ness today — it's not all about the awards. You can have a long, successful career without worrying about the trophies, and, more importantly, you can touch people's lives and spread happiness with your work. And Marshall's films were about so much more than just cracking jokes. They were about connection and real-life relationships, which are messy more often than not. This is evi- dent in his timeless film "Beaches" (1988), a personal favorite, and one that is practi- cally impossible to watch with- out an entire box of tissues.
