Erin Moran... Happy Days Joanie dies

Is this when I post "frick you 2017"?

Sit on it, 2017.

"Joanie loves Chachi!"

When Happy Days had a big reunion a few yrs ago, she was the only cast member who did not show. Can understand why, now. Hard to imagine she ran out of money with all the money that show brought in, especially when syndicated.

Many actors of that era did not receive payment for syndicated episodes. I saw her on some show talking about it. Many of the cast members from Happy Days all sued for pay from royalties.

I was hoping someone would post this.

Guess Joanie can't love chauchi anymore.


RIP ERIN

1971 is the key year. If your show ended that year or earlier, you got paid for a few syndication runs, then nothing. This happened to the shows that were axed in the "Hillbilly Massacre" of '71, such as Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, and Mayberry RFD.

If your series ran after 1971, you got permanent residuals. They get smaller and smaller over time, but at least you get something.

I know they sued b/c of some slot machines for casinos that used their images.

Honestly its not so sad to me that some older miserable looking lady died.

However it makes me sad to think a young happy-go-lucky Joanie has died.

Young Joanie used to make it move when I was younger
