Garry Marshall, one of the most successful writer-director-producers in the history of television, and the director of such hit films as 'Pretty Woman,' 'The Princess Diaries,' 'Runaway Bride' and 'Valentine’s Day,' died on July 19 at the age of 81. 'Film Journal International' pays tribute with excerpts from our January 1989 interview with Marshall, just before the release of his popular Bette Midler-Barbara Hershey drama, 'Beaches.'
