Found this in the trivia page of IMDB:
In 1976 Cindy Williams briefly walked off the show to protest Penny Marshall getting all the good lines. She returned two days later.
Gary Marshall has said in interviews that Cindy Williams and his sister, Penny Marshall, were immature during the production of Laverne and Shirley and did not handle stardom well, treating their coworkers in an abusive manner, and acting like prima donnas, endlessly fighting about who got more lines, etc.
I'm sorry to hear that.
I know that my friend, Alan, went to some convention where both ladies were to attend and greet their fans, sign autographs, etc. Only Williams did not show up. He said that Penny Marshall was great, though.
