Laverne & Shirley's 'Squiggy,' David Lander, Dead At 73

Description

Actor David Lander has died at the age of 73. Lander was best known for his role as Squiggy on the sitcom 'Laverne & Shirley,' opposite Michael McKean, who played his roommate, Lenny. CNN reports Lander died on Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after fighting multiple sclerosis for decades. Lander kept his illness a secret until 1999 with the release of his memoir, 'Fall Down Laughing: How Squiggy Caught Multiple Sclerosis and Didn't Tell Nobody.' My doctor painted a fairly bleak picture of the disease, even going so far as to tell me I probably wouldn't walk again. Whatever happens, MS can't take it all. I will always have my heart and soul, my wit and wisdom. David Lander Interview, Brain & Life Magazine
