Maybe Ron Howard can give Erin a role in one of his movies to help her out.
What happened to her earnings and residuals form Happy Days?
I thought the Jackie Cooper laws protected the income of kid actors...
Someone needs to tell the Fonz or Richie.. they are quite successful..
Must’ve spent all the money on husbands..
Not a bad looking youngster IMHG(eezer’s)O.
She’s a fool to pay lot rent though.
Sounds like they’re living like regular folks to me.
And her husband has an honorable job. It's more useful to society than some higher paid jobs such as nonworking union bosses, MSNBC hosts, pimps and the CEO of AIG.
It is not really a sad story. I would say that she is living like a lot of people today. She obviously was affected by the economy that cannot be blamed on Obama (it was Bush you know). Anyway, I think a person can gain a lot of pride with helping an elderly parent whether her own or in-law.
Joanie Loves Food Stamps
It seems to me she’s alive, properly helping a family member, married and not asking for a handout (sort of like most of the people we know).
Why do we always make victims of people just getting on with their lives?
In all seriousness, though. She really doesn't look "beyond her 51 years," either. I mean, it's not like she's ended up homeless or in court, or Betty Ford.
To be sure, there are a lot of stuck-up people, perhaps especially in New York, who look down their noses at people living in double-wides in Ohio, but this isn't Margot Kidder or Dan Rather, babbling to themselves on a street corner. This is someone making the best of things, willing to take care of an extended family member.
"Happy Days," indeed. Remember the Laverne and Shirley spin off? That may have been the most cocaine-soaked television show in history. The old guy who ran the pretend Soda Shop was the biggest dealer in Hollywood, before getting busted. He's probably still in jail.
That's Show Business.
The writer James Ellroy once said, "actors are f-ed-up people."
Sounds to me like Erin Moran ain't one of them.
Way back then said that Joanie should have gone to college instead of shacking up with that deadbear loser Chachi.
People in the neighborhood said that Chachi got Joanie addicted to Crack Coiciane and would make her turn tricks in downtown Milwaukee.
At first, it was not so bad as men would pay $1000.00 to be with little Joanie Cunningham, but then Joanie turned 50 and the Obama economy devestated Milwaukee and the next thing you knew, Joanie could only earn $27.50 a night.
Chachi took out his frustrations by beating Joanie and then left her and became Potsey’s gay lover.
She picked the wrong career. If she had spent those same ten years as a politician, she would be set for the rest of her life.
looking haggard well beyond her 51 years
**********************************
Oh bull-poop! She doesn’t look like she has had all sorts of crud injected into her lips or had her eyes pulled tight. She looks like an average 51 year old woman.
If she lives in a trailer—so what. Other people do, too...is she special just because she was once a star? She had money and it was frittered away somehow.
She looks fine, I like her looks better than all that plastic-surgery crud we see on so many Hollywood types.
Honestly, she was never a great actress which is why her career ended once she was past the child stage, but one would think she’d still be making residuals from HD’s of some sort.
I am glad her and her husband are taking care of his Mom, that’s what you do, whether you are rich or poor.
Its a just punishment for ‘Joanie Loves Chachi’.
