Oh, bummer! Garry Marshall has died!

Garry Marshall, a prolific writer and director of classic films including “Pretty Woman” and “Runaway Bride,” has died at the age of 81, a spokeswoman, Michelle Bega, confirmed to The Huffington Post. Marshall died from complications of pneumonia following a stroke.

A native of New York City, Marshall had been active in Hollywood since 1959. He created such television series as “Happy Days,” “Mork and Mindy” and “Laverne and Shirley” and was responsible for a number of classic romantic comedies, several of which starred Julia Roberts.

Tributes began pouring in Tuesday evening from many who starred in Marshall’s movies or shows and knew him. Henry Winkler, known as The Fonz on “Happy Days,” called Marshall the “definition of a friend.”
