In December 1983, Penny Marshall's mother Marjorie Marshall died. She had been in a coma and battled Alzheimers. 1983 was also the year Penny ended Laverne and Shirley. In April 1984, Penny went to the Oscars with Larry Gordon. Gordon was a producer on the film ' Terms of Endearment'. That film swept the awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. At an after party, Penny struck up a conversation with actress Debra Winger. Winger told Penny about a film she had started called ' Peggy Sue Got Married'.

Penny was desperate to direct. Her brother Garry was a Director. Her friend Steven Spielberg was a Director. Ron Howard from Happy Days was a Director. Penny's friend Tom Hanks took a chance and got a big role in a Ron Howard film called ' Splash'. Penny's ex husband Rob Reiner became a Director. His rock mockumentary was called ' This is Spinal Tap'.
