"Squiggy" died (Laverne & Shirley)

Actor, comedian and multiple sclerosis advocate, David L. Lander, most beloved for his role as Andrew “Squiggy” Squiggman on the classic Garry Marshall sitcom, Laverne & Shirley, died on Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after bravely fighting MS for several decades.

Born David Leonard Landau, the youngest son of two Jewish schoolteachers, in Brooklyn, New York, on June 22, 1947, the actor never let his illness prevent him from pursuing his life’s passions. Having amassed over 120 film and television credits, including Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Used Cars, Scary Movie and 101 Dalmatians: The Series, Lander continued working as an animation voice actor as recently as 2017.

Lander is survived by his wife of 41 years, Kathy, and his daughter Natalie, who continues her father’s legacy as an actress. Natalie teamed with her father in his last credit, an episode of the animated children’s series Goldie and the Bear. David’s family hopes his fans will remember him for all the laughter he brought into the world.
