ok la times, they made 175 episodes, i think we can stop referring to it as a "happy days spinoff".

Maybe it was 100% her choice but my impression is that Hollywood didn't want her around much after L&S. Especially after she sued Paramount.  She was only 35 at the time and they were handing out sitcoms to pretty much anyone in comedy.

Lenny (Michael McKean) is the last of the original cast still alive. I think some of the LA season casts are still around.

This one hits a little harder than most.  You could sense her spirit in that character.

RIP Shirl.

I remember her being in The First Nudie Musical back in cable’s early days. Young DG was disappointed after finding the film leaned heavily musical with scant nudity.

She hooked up with Bob Falfa one time

RIP Shirley . . . and Laurie from American Graffiti.  2023 already off to a bad start.

She was so eerily brilliant in "The Conversation", despite being in only a handful of scenes shot from multiple angles.  

But funny as hell, too.  

Also, weird as fuck how many members of that cast have died in the last 5 years despite being younger than so many other shows that came just before it/their sitcom contemporaries.  

RIP, Cyndy.

RIP.  She is reunited with the Big Ragoo in Heaven right now I guess. .
