 Film: Cindy Williams
Cindy Williams is instantly recognizable as the latter half of the team that made up Laverne and Shirley, the Happy Days spinoff and staple of late-'70s TV which, for four years running, was either in first or second place in the Nielsen ratings.
Williams' CV is a lengthy and varied one, a list that includes such A-list directors as George Lucas (American Graffiti), George Cukor (Travels With My Aunt), Francis Ford Coppola (The Conversation) and Roger Corman (Gas-s-s-s).
In the final season of the series, Williams ended up in a legal squabble with Paramount, which culminated in her walking off the set, never to return (then pregnant, she was protesting the long shooting hours--often 14 a day--that were required for the show).

Williams argues that the statement in Nehmer II that Nehmer I “voided all benefit decisions which involved claims in which the disease or cause of death is later found—under valid Agent Orange regulation(s)—to be service connected,” Nehmer II, 32 F. Supp.
