Here's a guide to the cast and characters of beloved baseball movie A League Of Their Own. As an actress, the late Penny Marshall was best known as Laverne from classic sitcom Laverne & Shirley, but she was also a pioneering female director. She directed the likes of cult-favorite Jumpin' Jack Flash with Whoopi Goldberg, Awakenings and Big. Not only was the latter a big - pun intended - hit worldwide, it was also the first film from a female director to gross over $100 million.
One of her most acclaimed films was 1992's Broad City castmates D'Arcy Carden and Abbi Jacobson, with the latter co-creating the show alongside Will Graham.
Here's a guide to the cast and characters of A League Of The Own.
Geena Davis - Dottie Hinson
A League Of Their Own cast Geena Davis (The Fly) as Dottie, who works on a dairy farm with her sister Kit. Once she's scouted for the AAGPBL she reluctantly s up for her sister's sake, where she becomes the star catcher and assistant manager of the Rockford Peaches; Lynn Cartwright portrays the older Dottie.
Tom Hanks - Jimmy Dugan
Tom Hanks reunited with Penny Marshall following Big for A League Of Their Own. He plays the washed-up, alcoholic manager of the Peaches. Jimmy doesn't want to manage the team but when they start showing potential, he takes the role seriously and helps connects with his players.
Lori Petty - Kit
Tank Girl star Lori Petty plays Dottie's sister Kit, who wants to leave her dull small-town life behind. Kit wasn't scouted and is only allowed to tag along if she can convince her big sister to in. She later becomes jealous of Dottie's natural talent and s a rival team.
Rosie O'Donnell - Doris Murphy
Rosie O'Donnell (The Flintstones) provides A League Of Their Own's comic relief as Doris, the abrasive former bouncer covering third base; she's also best friends with Mae.
Madonna - Mae
Singer Madonna plays ex-taxi driver Mae, who plays center field. Also known as "All The Way" Mae, she becomes something of a team celebrity. While Madonna puts in good work in the role, her casting caused Debra Winger - who was originally playing Dottie - to leave the movie, as she felt it was a publicity stunt.
Jon Lovitz - Ernie Capadino
Jon Lovitz plays Ernie in AP Bio.
