Penny Marshall died Monday night at 75, a spokeswoman for her family confirmed to Jack Coyle of the Associated Press.
Marshall famously starred in Laverne & Shirley before branching out to film direction. For sports fans, she's most remembered for A League of Their Own, which centered on the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League during World War II.
Through A League of Their Own, the line, "There's no crying in baseball," became a pop culture staple. The National Film Registry recognized the movie in 2012.
The AAGPBL and others praised Marshall for the impact she had on baseball:
