One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Schlemeel, schlemazel, hasenfeffer incorporated. We’re gonna do it…! And the theme song continued. Who didn’t love Laverne & Shirley? I tried to find a solo picture of Cindy Williams as Shirley because it’s her 61st birthday today (yes, she’s 61), but I had no luck. Oh, well. We’ll just have to do with this lovely pic of Cindy and co-star Penny Marshall (who didn’t love her ‘L’ imprint on every outfit as Laverne?). Happy birthday, Shirley! You are still fabulous!
