The Story Behind the 70s Sitcom Hit Laverne & Shirley

During the early 1980s, reports began circulating about tension between the two stars of Laverne & Shirley. As the show moved into its later seasons, long work hours and the pressures of maintaining a hit sitcom created strain on the production.

While both actresses continued performing professionally on screen, stories about disagreements behind the scenes gradually became part of the show’s reputation. Over time, the narrative of a feud between the two leads became one of the most discussed aspects of the series’ later years.
