Happy Days with Marion Ross


Listen Later

Marion Ross was born to act. We all know her as Mrs. C, her dreams began at an early age and her determination to become the actress we all know and love will inspire you! 

We discuss the role everyone told her not to take which led to a connection and audition that changed her life forever. The audition was for the role of Marion Cunningham on what was to become a failed pilot for Happy Days. But the success of American Graffiti re-ignited interest in that old pilot and a second pilot was created and Marion was on the path to becoming one of the most beloved TV moms of all time.

Marion shares some great stories from the set, Marion talks about her working relationship with Tom Bosley, Chuck, living through Fonziemania, and what it was like being on TV's biggest show.

We also discuss Marion's time after Happy Days which included marrying Captain Stubbing on the Love Boat and her Emmy nominated role on Brooklyn Bridge.

Marion also has an excellent memoir out called My Days: Happy and Otherwise if you need even more Marion in your life after listening to the interview (and why wouldn't you?).

Our Guest, Marion Ross
