Penny Marshall Career

Marshall initially appeared in a Head and Shoulders shampoo advertisement on television. Farrah Fawcett was cast as a girl with thick, bouncy hair, although she was recruited to portray a girl with stringy, ugly hair.

Marshall’s stand-in was wearing a banner that said “Homely Girl” and Fawcett’s stand-in was wearing a placard that read “Pretty Girl” as the crew was lighting the set. Fawcett scratched out “Homely” and scribbled “Plain” on the Marshall stand-in sign after detecting Marshall’s self-consciousness over her appearance.

The only actresses who applied for the Witchiepoo role in Sid and Marty Krofft’s H.R. Pufnstuf were Marshall and Billie Hayes. Hayes was given the part because Marshall rejected her as the ideal choice for it.
