Cindy Williams 'Laverne & Shirley' & classic 'American Graffiti' dies at 75

1950's & 60's America was popular in the 1970's with films and television. Actress Cindy Williams was part of that nostalgia throughout the 1970's. She appeared in the classic 1973 coming-of-age film, "American Graffiti." Plus, she portrayed Shirley Feeney on TV sitcoms set in the 1950's, "Happy Days" and its' spin-off "Laverne & Shirley" (1975-1982).

Williams also appeared in Francis Ford Coppola's 1974 classic, "The Conversation" starring Gene Hackman. The movie is about a male loner who runs his own surveillance company. He is hired to follow and listen to a young couple (Cindy Williams & Frederic Forrest). The audio recordings reveal an attempted murder and the loner is conflicted about telling the truth. His job is only surveillance who doesn't get personally involved. (Check it out on Blu-Ray). RIP Cindy Williams....
