R.I.P. Cindy Williams

A classic bit. An acting friend of mine from college said she learned about physical comedy from watching Laverne and Shirley as a kid. I mean, watch the build of the bit above. They are CLOWNS, in the best sense of the word. They are outrageous, so gifted, so in sync. It’s Lucy and Ethel for the ’70s crowd. This is the highest possible praise one can give.

She was almost Princess Leia. She was crucial in American Graffiti. She was unforgettable in Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation.

“This conversation is over.”

Cindy Williams and Lance Kerwin in the same week. I’m getting old, Father William.
