A monkey costume worn by Cindy Williams as Shirley Feeney in the classic television series Laverne & Shirley (Paramount Television, 1976-1983). The costume consists of a green long-sleeve leotard with an appliquéd pink fabric “belly,” brown faux fur trim at the neck, cuffs, and around the hips, and a red pillbox hat with latex monkey ears and a red ribbon tie. The wired monkey tail is attached to a pair of nude undershorts. The costume was custom made for the actress by Fantasy Fair of Hollywood. The shorts have the costumer’s label sewn inside with the name “Cindy” handwritten in black ink. The actress wore the costume in “The 2nd (Almost) Annual Shotz Talent Show” (Season 3, Episode 16) during the “Aba Daba Honeymoon” roller skating number alongside series co-star Penny Marshall as Laverne De Fazio. The episode originally aired on Jan. 31, 1978. Laverne & Shirley was nominated for four Golden Globes over the course of its seven-year run, and Al Lehman received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Costume Design for a Series in 1979.
