“I saw in Cindy a first glimpse of this new generation of a woman asserting herself and her potential to have creative control over the work that she was doing,” RealRonHoward told The Times about the late Cindy Williams.
The Oscar-winning “A Beautiful Mind” filmmaker told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday that his “American Graffiti” co-star’s death is going to “leave a little void” and shared he was hoping to collaborate with the “Laverne & Shirley” actor once more.
Williams, who died in Los Angeles on Wednesday after a brief illness, first worked with Howard on George Lucas‘ “American Graffiti.” They portrayed teenage lovebirds in the 1973 film, and in the following years they both appeared on the TV series “Happy Days,” “Laverne & Shirley” and “Love, American Style.”Howard told The Times he would have liked to cast Williams in a role that highlighted her “complexity and range.
“I saw in Cindy a first glimpse of this new generation of a woman asserting herself and her potential to have creative control over the work that she was doing,” he said. “She was quiet about it. She was polite about it. She was civil but committed to asserting herself in that way, and that was impressive to me.”Cindy Williams will be missed by her Hollywood peers, including Michael McKean, Jason Alexander and Rosario Dawson. Here’s how they paid tribute social media.
