Director Ron Howard is lamenting a missed opportunity with his old friend Cindy Williams nearly a week after she died at age 75.
The Oscar-winning "A Beautiful Mind" filmmaker told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday that his "American Graffiti" co-star's death is going to "leave a little void" and shared he was hoping to collaborate with the "Laverne & Shirley" actor once more.
"I'd always hoped that a part would come along that I could cast her in and we can sort of complete this cycle of working together in our careers with me behind the camera, and the right role never came along," he said in a phone interview. "I always assumed it would, and it makes me a little sad to know that we'll never have that chance."
