Marion Ross

You loved her as Mrs. C. on Happy Days. You'll be blown away when you see what a passionate go-getter she is in real life.

I sat down with Marion at her home in Los Angeles and we had quite a time!

You'll hear Marion talk about:

• Happy Days - and how the cast really was a family
• Trouble with Tom Bosley, however
• What she learned from her "shrink"
• Why most people in Hollywood are driven "A-types"
• Why her parents were devastated when she got married
• Getting divorced at age 40
• Why she knew she just HAD to be a successful actress
• Her big move to Hollywood
• Not feeling quite up to snuff
• Learning how to "play the game"
• Rubbing elbows with
  • Tony Curtis
  • Janet Leigh
  • Cary Grant
• Getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
• Dinners with Henry Winkler, Ron Howard, Don Most, Anson Williams and Scott Baio
• Her son, Jim Meskimen, and a fun factoid!
• Her daughter, Ellen, and a fun factoid!
• Surprising stories from her book, My Days: Happy and Otherwise
