THE HEARTBREAK CINDY WILLIAMS TOOK TO GRAVE

Never mended fences with TV pal Laverne

SITCOM legend Cindy Williams died torn with regret 41 years after the hit Laverne & Shirley following a nasty rift with friend and co-star Penny Marshall.

The 75-year-old actress, who starred on the sitcom from 1976 to 1982, died following a brief illness on Jan. 30, but a pal says “there wasn’t a day gone by Cindy didn’t kick herself for leaving the show the way she did and freezing Penny out a long time afterward.”
