If you grew up in the ’70s and ’80s, then you felt like Marion Ross, who played Mrs. C. on Happy Days, was like a second mom.
However, to Jim Meskimen, she was his mother. The other day they were hanging out, and there was something he wanted to tell her. “You, to me, were a far better mother, than Marion Cunningham would’ve been for me.”
Meskimen said that she supported him as an artist and encouraged him to try new things. She told him that she always wanted her family to have fun and try new things.
Then they concluded their video with her telling him he is a wonderful son.
Ross came off as a loving mother on the small screen because, in real life, she was one. You can’t fake the heart and compassion she had on the sitcom, so that is why she is one of television’s favorite mothers.
BTW Can you believe that Ross is 93 years young? She neither looks nor acts it! I think all that fun she had trying new things is what keeps her so young! Gd bless her!
