The very popular situation comedy, “Happy Days” ran for eleven seasons beginning in January 1974 and ending in July 1984.

The series was set in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 1950’s and early 1960’s and was centered around teenager, Richie Cunningham (played by Ron Howard), his family and friends, Potsie, Ralph and the local tough guy, Arthur Fonzarelli, known as “The Fonz”.

A prominent figure in the Cunningham family was Richie’s mom, Mrs. Cunningham, affectionately called “Mrs. C.” played by actress Marion Ross. During those eleven seasons, “Mrs. C.” earned a place in many people’s hearts as America’s mom.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be joined by Marion Ross, who is 94 years young and her son, actor, comedian and impressionist, Jim Meskimen. Marion will share a few stories from her autobiography, “My Days, Happy and Otherwise”. Stories will include her childhood in Minnesota and dreams of becoming an actress, her early career in movies and television and her rise to stardom as “Mrs. C.” on Happy Days.
