Penny Marshall Didn’t See ‘A League of Their Own’ as LGBTQ Film – Distractify

In the Prime Video adaptation of A League of Their Own, Rosie makes a cameo as a lesbian speakeasy owner named Vi. Co-creator and star Abbi Jacobson spoke on the iconic cameo with Entertainment Tonight.

“We were trying not to do a lot of cameos on the show to really differentiate it from the film, but because we are telling a lot of these queer stories and Rosie is like, a huge part of queer history, of American history, it just felt so special to have her not only approve of the show but wanna be in it and really wanna play a character that’s so different from the one that she is in the film,” she said.
