via People On April 22nd, Erin Moran passed away from 4th stage cancer and yesterday her Happy Days co-stars got together to remember her at Cathy Silvers’ house. Jenny Piccollo had Joanie’s brother Richie aka Ron Howard, her crush Potsie aka Anson Williams, her mom Marion Ross, her friend Ralph Malph aka Donny Most and her husband Chachi aka Scott Baio over to celebrate their friends’ life.
Proving that this show has a bond that went above and beyond their filming days. They are still friends even though the show ended almost a third of a century ago. That chemistry is why we are still watching after all of these decades. Just like them, it never gets old.
This isn’t the first time that Silvers’ honored her friend, last week she had Bewitched’s Erin Murphy and The Brady Bunch’s Susan Olsen over to talk about the late actress.
These friendships show us just how special Erin Moran was to all of these people even after all of these years. She was as special to them as she was to us growing up and watching our favorite little sister grow up during Happy Days!
Before Marion Ross was a stay at home mom on Happy Days, she was a manicurist on Burns and Allen. How gorgeous is the 25 year old in that 1954 episode?

Happy Days are here again because Mrs C was reunited with her Richie! Don’t you just love seeing the 84 year old Marion Ross together again with her 59 year old TV son Ron Howard at ATAS’s 22nd Annual Hall of Fame Induction Gala. It’s like even though she started playing his mom almost 40 years ago, she still sees herself in the role. Don’t you adore the way she is grabbing his face like only a mother can!
I seriously got so happy when I saw the two of them together again that it brought a big smile to my face. One I am still wearing now as I type this.

Marion Ross attended the Valley Performing Arts Center’s Inaugural Performance yesterday and the 82 year old actress never seems to age. Doesn’t the Happy Days matriarch look absolutely gorgeous? In fact I think she looks as good and as young as she did on the show that made her household name all those years ago!
Now I am not saying the Glee kids (well maybe Lea Michelle can take notice) don’t know how to perform for the camera, but these TV legends made Don’t Stop Believin’ even more fun than Glee made it and the season premiere was extremely enjoyable. The best part of this Sunday’s TV Land Awards is when the TV Land Glee Club with soloists David Hasselhoff (Knight Rider, Baywatch) and Marilu Henner (Taxi) were accompanied by Todd Bridges (Different Strokes), Joyce Dewitt (Three’s Company), Jamie Farr (M*A*S*H), Marla Gibbs (The Jeffersons, 227), Howard Hesseman (WKRP in Cincinnati), Shirley Jones (The Partridge Family), Richard Karn (Home Improvement), Richard Moll (Night Court), Marion Ross (Happy Days), Jimmie Walker (Good Times), Marcia Wallace (The Bob Newhart Show, The Simpsons) and Fred Willard (I think he guest starred on all of those shows) sang the song that made Glee a phenomenon. How much of phenomenon? Well they received the Future Classic Award at the 8th Annual TV Land Awards. So to honor the show that brought good singing back to TV, the TV Land Glee Club made a rare appearance and sang their legendary hearts out in honor of Glee! You can watch that performance and so many other incredible reunions of the casts from The Love Boat, Everybody Loves Raymond and my favorite Bosom Buddies along with so many more surprises this Sunday at 9p when Tim Allen hosts the TV Land Awards. I have seen the show and can I tell you it is an instant classic? Oh and did I mention that Blondie does a medley of their hits? They were so good that got me, One Way or Another.
