Cindy Williams

Cynthia Jane "Cindy" Williams (August 22, 1947 - January 25, 2023) was an American actress. She portrayed the role of Shirley Feeney in Laverne & Shirley in the Army, a role she originated in the live-action sitcom.
Cindy continued her role on the live-action sitcom and on the animated series until she left to go on maternity leave in 1982. However, the producers made her work on her due date, which prompted her to file a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures for $20 million. The case was settled out of court, and Cindy was consequently dismissed from the show. Although her role as Shirley was given to Lynne Marie Stewart in the animated spinoff series, Shirley was dropped from the live-action series - leaving Laverne as the only main character. During the final season of the live-action series, Cindy was no longer credited after the season's first two episodes.
