Along with Penny Marshall's Laverne DeFazio, you became pop-culture royalty as Shirley Feeney on the Happy Days' spinoff, Laverne & Shirley (as well as the animated Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirely/Fonz Hour), and your participation in George Lucas' American Graffiti and More American Graffiti as Laurie Henderson sealed your coveted status even further.

Additional television and the big screen appearances abetted your envious fate, with so many appearances in so many popular and varied productions: Beware! The Blob (aka Son of Blob); UFOria; Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman; The Creature Wasn't Nice; Big Man on Campus; Petrocelli; Perry Mason: The Case of the Poisoned Pen; Cannon; Canaan Land; Rude Awakening; The Conversation; Suddenly, Love; Love, American Style; Police Story; Bingo; CHiPs; The Biggest Fan; Saturday Night Live; Hawaii Five-O; The First Nudie Musical; Drive, He Said; Travels with my Aunt; Meet Wally Sparks; Gas-s-s-s; and the terrifying The Killing Kind.
You were lively and grand, innocent and bold: a great combination for a great lady. It's no wonder that you left such a strong impression on us, and it's no wonder you'll continue to do so. You are, beyond any doubt, the unshakable stuff of mirthful longevity.
