‘Beaches’ Movie Remake Starring Idina Menzel Greenlighted By Lifetime
This could be both a very nice tribute to the late Garry Marshall and something nice at Lifetime that isn’t “unauthorized”.
(via Deadline)
From Happy Days to Laverne & Shirley to Mork & Mindy to The Odd Couple to The Dick Van Dyke Show to Pretty Woman to Beaches to The Princess Diaries to Runaway Bride to Brooklyn Nine-Nine to Louie to BoJack Horseman to The Simpsons and way more as a writer, director, producer, and/or actor, Garry Marshall pretty much did almost all that you could do in Hollywood over several decades.
Marshall passed away yesterday as a result of pneumonia complications after a stroke at the age of 81.
Whether you’re familiar with the work mentioned above or not, you should rewatch or introduce yourself to it as Marshall has left an indelible mark on comedy on film and television.
