Where Is The Cast Of 'Happy Days' Now?

Whether it was Sunday, Monday, or another day of the week, "Happy Days" had fans falling in love with a middle class American family living in the 1950s. From comebacks to catchphrases and catchy opening jingles, the show had everything, which is why -- two decades after the final episode aired -- we're still talking about it.



A lot can happen in 20 years, and since the anniversary of the series' finale is coming up soon, we thought we'd find out what really happened to some of our favorite characters from the show. Take a look at what the cast of "Happy Days" is up to now.



Henry Winkler / Arthur Fonzarelli





Then:

Known to fans as simply “The Fonz,” Henry Winkler was the James Dean of "Happy Days." The greaser, who worked at the auto shop, rode a motorcycle, sported that now-famous leather jacket and made “eyyy” the coolest catchphrase ever, was definitely the most beloved by fans.



Now:

Winkler went on to establish his own production company, Fair Dinkum Productions, that spawned shows like "MacGyver" and "Hollywood Squares." He came back to the acting world, starring in a few Adam Sandler movies and made guest appearances on "Arrested Development" and "Parks and Recreation" before nabbing his current role on USA’s "Royal Pains." Winkler is also the author of a series of children’s books that center on a boy with dyslexia, a learning disability the actor suffered with for years before finally being diagnosed later in life. He still stays in touch with his former co-stars and is even the god-father of Ron Howard’s daughter, actress Bryce Dallas Howard. Oh, and if you aren’t following him on Twitter, you’re missing out!





Ron Howard / Richie Cunningham





Then:

Richie was the All-American boy on the show. With his ginger locks, freckled mug and “aww shucks” demeanor, the letterman jacket-wearing high schooler quickly found a place in fans' hearts. While Richie did get into some trouble -– especially when it came to the ladies -– he was the moral center of the sitcom and it wasn’t until he left, first to join the Army and then become a big-time writer in Hollywood, that we realized how much we missed the clean-cut teen.



Now:

Howard got his start as a child star -- he first-played Andy Griffith’s son on "The Andy Griffith Show" -- but during "Happy Days," the redhead was bitten by the directing bug and left to follow other Hollywood pursuits. He’s helmed plenty of award-winning films since then –- he was behind the camera for movies like "Splash," "Apollo 13," "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and "The Da Vinci Code" –- and he even won the Academy Award for Best Director for his work on "A Beautiful Mind" starring Russell Crowe. Currently, Howard’s busy filming a new movie with Chris Hemsworth and it was just announced that he will be directing a Beatles biopic, which aims to follow the band’s early years.





Tom Bosley / Howard Cunningham





Then:

Mr. C was your typical, middle-class working dad with hobbies that included sitting in his comfy recliner, attending meetings at the Leopard Club and staying faithful to his Republican views. While he was a bit rough around the edges and could often be found lecturing Richie and his pals whenever one of their harebrained ideas backfired. Howard Cunningham was secretly a big softie who cared for everyone on the show and believed in family above all.



Now:

Though Tom Bosley is best-known for his time on “Happy Days,” he was already an accomplished stage actor before landing his famous TV gig. Bosley won a Tony for his performance in the critically-acclaimed Broadway musical “Fiorelli!” and appeared in films and on stage years before he took on the role of Mr. Cunningham. After the show ended, Bosley went on to guest star in everything from "Rugrats" and "Walker, Texas Ranger" to "ER," "One Tree Hill" and "That '70s Show." In 2010, Bosely starred in the Jennifer Lopez film "The Back-up Plan." Sadly, that same year, Bosley passed away after fighting a long battle with lung cancer. TV Guide named his character as one of the 50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time.





Erin Moran/Joanie Cunningham





Then:

Fonzie’s “Shortcake” and Richie’s spunky sister, Joanie was the youngest member of the Cunningham crew and the teen had a penchant for falling in love quickly. Her romance with Fonzie’s cousin Chachi in later seasons made for some great musical (and comedic) moments on the show and the two starred in their own spin-off before returning to get married during the final season of “Happy Days.”



Now:

Erin Moran hasn’t been having many happy days recently. The actress, who had a few small roles on shows like "Murder She Wrote" and "The Love Boat," appeared in VH1’s "Celebrity Fit Club" in 2008 before finding herself homeless and in trouble with the law a few years later. The last we heard of the star, she was broke, had been kicked out of her trailer, was living as a recluse in an Indiana hotel room and having marital troubles with her husband of 20 years. There was talk of Moran joining her co-star Henry Winkler on the series "Arrested Development" but the actress never made an appearance on the show.





Marion Ross/Marion Cunningham





Then:

The matriarch of the Cunningham clan, Marion Cunningham, or Mrs. C, was the mother we all wanted. Sweet-tempered, good-natured, loving and smart, she ran the family while letting husband Howard think he was the man in charge. Mrs. C often worried about her family and usually tried to meddle in places she shouldn’t, but hey, that’s what moms do! And that’s why fans of the show loved her.



Now:

After leaving Mrs. C behind, Ross went on to do other TV projects. She starred in the short-lived "Brooklyn Bridge," which won a Golden Globe Award and was also nominated for an Emmy. She’s also guest-starred on shows like “The Gilmore Girls,” “Touched By An Angel” and “Two and A Half Men.”





Scott Baio/Chachi Arcola





Then:

Wa, wa, wa, who didn’t love Chachi? The young heartthrob of the show and Joanie Cunningham’s love interest was first introduced as Fonzie’s younger cousin in 1977. He became a fan-favorite, especially among female viewers and Baio was reported to receive over 5,000 fan-letters per day while filming the show. Eventually, Chachi and Joanie got their own spinoff where the two made a living singing in a family-owned restaurant but the couple returned to “Happy Days” for its final season and were married before the series ended.



Now:

After his turn on “Happy Days,” Baio went on to star in the TV sitcom “Charles in Charge” about a college student working as a live-in nanny. The show lasted five seasons and afterwards, Baio made a couple of TV movies before taking a guest starring stint on "Arrested Development." Baio also starred on a couple of VH1 reality series including "Scott Baio Is 45 … and Single" and "Confessions of a Teen Idol," which followed the actor and another child star as they tried to find their way back into the limelight.

Lenny Henry shows the results of drastic three-stone weight loss as he steps out in London looking dapper

He revealed earlier this year that he has battled to lose three stone in a bid to combat the effects of diabetes.
And Lenny Henry certainly looked slim and dapper while out and about in London on Tuesday.
The 55-year-old actor wore a smart brown tweed suit, which was teamed with a white shirt and a  snazzy, brightly coloured tie.

Slim: Lenny Henry who has recently lost three-stone in weight, looked trim as he strolled in London

The tie, which was in-keeping with the comedian's sense of fun, featured brown on one side and purple and green stripes on the other.
The TV presenter and funnyman also wore thick-rimmed glasses, while he wore his salt and pepper beard trimmed into a neat goatee.
In January, the star revealed that he had set about losing weight after he was diagnosed with diabetes.

A leaner Lenny: The TV comic looked drastically heavier when he appeared on Loose Women in 2010

Smart: The comedian cut a very dapper figure in his contemporary tie and brown tweed suit

The comic told the The Daily Mirror he was driven to change his diet and take up yoga to improve his health after doctors diagnosed him with diabetes.
Henry now eats sugar-free food and has started to take regular classes in Ashtanga yoga to battle the disease, which can be fatal and causes serious health complications.
The well-known face of the Premier Inn adverts, said the disease cost his mother Winnifred both her legs after medics were forced to amputate her limbs before she died in 1998.

Heather Graham leaves her Canadian hotel in a cleavage revealing dress as she prepares to shoot new film Flowers in the Attic

If you’ve got it, why not flaunt it?
Such thought may well have crossed Heather Graham’s mind while she was deciding what to wear on Wednesday morning.
The 43-year-old actress was spotted leaving a hotel in Vancouver, Canada that day carrying what appeared to be a shooting script for new project Flowers in the Attic, but attention was drawn from the distinctive pink pages by her exposed cleavage. 

Revealing: Heather Graham wears a cleavage revealing dress as she leaves her hotel in Vancouver this week

Indeed, Heather couldn’t help but turn heads courtesy of her revealing patterned dress, over which she wore a fitted leather jacket.
In keeping with a relatively low-key look, the actress wore a pair of shiny black flats, while her eyes remained hidden behind a pair of large sunglasses – despite the sun being largely absent as she ventured across the sidewalk towards a waiting car.
The actress previously showed off her cleavage during a recent holiday in Brazil, where she was spotted parading along the beach in a turquoise two-piece bikini. 

Quite a sight: The 43-year-old actress turned heads on Wednesday for the reasons that had nothing to do with her Flowers in the Attic screenplay

Stepping out: Heather Graham opted for a patterned dress, fitted leather jacket and flats for a day out in the Canadian city

Vancouver or bust: Heather shows off her cleavage as she makes her way towards a waiting car

At the time she was in South America to promote The Hangover Part III, but opted to hang around and soak up the sun while he co-stars jetted back to the US.
Of her role as raunchy stripper Jade in the film she recently said: ‘I’m pretty boring in my real life. I don’t really drink, I’m not that wild, so it’s fun to play these wild characters on screen.’
Heather is set to appear in a planned made for TV adaptation of VC Andrews’ 1979 novel Flowers in the Attic, in which she will play widow Corinne. 

Passing the time: Heather appears to be chatting to a male companion as she leaves her hotel on Wednesday

Where's my ride: The actress waits for her car while clutching pages for the shooting script of forthcoming made for TV drama Flowers in the Attic

According to Deadline other stars to feature in the Lifetime drama include young Mad Men actress Kiernan Shipka, who will play Cathy, and Ellen Burstyn – who takes the role of grandmother Olivia.
The bestselling book was originally adapted for the screen in 1987 starring Victoria Tenannt as Corrinne and Kirsty Swanson as Cathy, with author Andrews taking a minor role as a maid.
Heather will no doubt be hoping her latest project is afforded a warmer greeting than its predecessor, which fared well at the box-office but was roundly savaged by critics - despite winning Swanson a Young Artist Award.

Padma Lakshmi opts for elegant midnight blue halterneck (and NO accessories) as she joins Tyra Banks at Flawsome Ball 2014

Sports Illustrated models new and old dominated proceedings at the Flawsome Ball in Manhattan, but Padma Lakshmi caught the eye as she made an entrance at the event on Tuesday evening.

The 43-year-old actress and cookbook author opted for a midnight blue evening dress that clung to her slender frame as she posed for photos at swish Wall Street venue Cipriani Club 55 as proceedings got underway.

Padma’s sleeveless outfit showed off a pair of nicely toned arms, and the actress ensured it dominated by choosing to forgo accessories ahead of her night out. 

Standing out: Padma Lakshmi caught the eye as she attended the 2014 Flawsome Ball with host Tyra Banks in New York City on Tuesday evening

With her use of make-up subtle and limited, the Top Chef host’s overall look was minimal and considered – thus guaranteeing she stood out on a red carpet overflowing with otherwise vibrant ensembles.

Padma was joined at the event by model Chrissy Teigen, with whom she posed for a fun snap that eventually found its way onto her Twitter account.

A tweet accompanying the shot, which finds Teigen licking the TV personality’s ear, reads: ‘Me and this girl…’

Looking good: TV personality Padma, 43, opted for a striking blue halterneck gown and no accessories for her night out at the annual event

Me and this girl: A fun snap with model Chrissy Teigen found its way onto Padma's Twitter account on Tuesday evening

Taking centre stage at the event was host Tyra Banks, who sported a glittering gold down.

While Teigen is this year's Sports Illustrated covergirl, Tyra took the cover spot 17 years ago in 1997.

The two-time Emmy winner is famed for bringing self-coined terms like 'smize,' 'booty tooch,' and 'flawsome' to the mainstream.

So it was easy for Banks to name her latest bash for the TZONE Foundation program, which benefits the Lower Eastside Girls Center.

Just to scare HALLOWEEN guests: Simon Cowell's face is engraved on pumpkin outside Jonathan Ross' home

The spooky transformation of Jonathan Ross' family home in Hampstead was completed with a particularly eye-catching carved pumpkin.
Although this may sound fairly normal for this time of the year, it was the design that the TV host had chosen which proved to be a little unusual.
The X Factor USA judge Simon Cowell was immortalised on the large orange vegetable, to welcome famous guests to the infamous Halloween party on Thursday.

Scary stuff indeed! A pumpkin with Simon Cowell's face carved into it sits outside Jonathan Ross's home

No one could accuse Ross of not taking Halloween seriously when preparations began on Wednesday, and were finished off with the pumpkin and a gruesome dangling head.
The whole exterior of the TV host's three-storey property was in the process of receiving a ghoulish makeover, as builders got to work transforming it into a spooky castle.
The 52-year-old will be hoping to trump last year's celebration which was attended by Gwen Stefani, Stephen Fry, Bryan Ferry and Chloe Moretz.

Veg-Factor! The carving undoubtedly resembles the father-to-be

More cobwebs needed: The star will be hoping this year's event will trump last year's celeb-packed bash

The front of the house was covered in large cobwebs and creepy gargoyles, while the windows were boarded up with bars and ivy.
There was a number of pumpkins sat outside the front door in true Halloween style, while the normally white door was hidden by scaffolding.
The star tweeted at the weekend to say: 'We are compiling our Halloween playlist and reminiscing on how good Mighty Boosh were. Nice way to spend a Saturday!'

Count Dracula: The TV host really upped the ante at last year's party

Hidden: Builders can be seen working on the spooky exterior which hides the whole front of the property

Last year the presenter dressed up as Count Dracula complete with top hat, long yellow talons and a red, silk-lined cape.
Speaking at a Halloween event at the weekend, Jonathan told the Crawley and Horley Observer: 'The kids enjoy Halloween and so do we.
'Every year we throw our own Halloween party and create our own spooky maze in our back garden'.

Going all out! Guests at last year's event included Gwen Stefani, Stephen Fry and Bryan Ferry

Terrifying: Kate Moss and Jamie Hince sported white face paint and Adam's Family style robes for last year's party

If the impressive surroundings weren't enough for guests at last year's bash, they were also welcomed by performers on stilts dressed in scary costumes.
Children who visited the property trick or treating were rewarded with candy floss, which left them looking very happy indeed.
Stefani arrived looking like a zombie Sandy from Grease while QI host Fry wore a noose around his neck and a flamboyant, gold baroque outfit.

Ghoulish: Stephen Fry made an effort for the party in a cape and hat

Simon Cowell comes face-to-face with his namesake on Britain's Got Talent

There is a double dose of Simon Cowell on Saturday night's episode of Britain's Got Talent when the showbiz supremo comes face to face with his namesake.

The other Simon - a 37-year-old singer from Northumberland - tries to impress the judges with his version of When You Tell Me That You Love Me by Diana Ross

He tells judge Simon Cowell: 'It's an honour to have this name,' adding: 'I just feel like I'm meant to be on the stage in some way, it's just my biggest dream to win this show.'

Pleased to meet you: Simon Cowelll comes face-to-face with his namesake on Brtain's Got Talent

His act impressed at least one of the judges, with David Walliams telling him: 'You definitely have more talent than this Simon Cowell.'

But the Daily Star reports that Simon, 54, is unimpressed by the act.

Buzzing him off, he says: 'You've no idea how much I wanted this to be great so I could say at the end of the show: "The winner of Brtain's Got Talent is Simon Cowell."

The other Simon: He tried to impress the judges with his version of When You Tell Me That You Love Me by Diana Ross

'I mean, I live for that moment. I never thought I'd say this but, Simon Cowell, it's a no.'

Also in the show, TV mogul Simon Cowell has to put up with an impressionist taking him off when 43-year-old Jon Clegg goes on stage.

He tells the judges his act, which includes impressions of Alan Carr and Louis Walsh as well, was inspired by his father's success in another TV talent show - New Faces - in 1987.

Having a laugh: TV mogul Simon Cowell has to put up with an impressionist taking him off when 43-year-old Jon Clegg appeared on stage

He said: 'When I was growing up, my dad decided to give up his job as a car salesman and become an impressionist.

'Growing up in that sort of environment, when your dad's on stage all the time and you're always in the wings, it was inevitable that I would end up doing it.'

Meanwhile, former BGT star Connie Talbot, now 13, has become a star in Asia.

The young singer was a huge hit when she appeared on the very first series of Britain's Got Talent - but her star failed to rise in the UK as Simon Cowell pulled out of a record deal with her.

Back in 2007 Cowell promised the sweet, girl he would make her £1 million after her rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

But his record company pulled out of the deal at the last minute because of her age.

She's hit the big time: Former BGT star Connie Talbot, now 13, has become a star in Asia

Simon Cowell's 'gold digger' pregnant lover 'has demanded he tie the knot and give her a reality show'... as her husband's brother blasts pop guru for 'unbelievable betrayal'

The married socialite expecting Simon Cowell’s baby was accused of being a ‘gold digger’ on Thursday.
Lauren Silverman has allegedly issued the X Factor boss with a string of outrageous demands, telling him she wants marriage and her own reality TV show before she will allow him access to the child.
She smiled for the cameras as she made her first public appearance since news of the unplanned pregnancy broke on Wednesday morning.
Scroll down for video

Carrying on as per usual: Lauren Silverman was seen visiting a shop near her home in New York on Thursday amid reports of 'gold digging' behaviour

In an official statement later that day, Lauren said: 'I am committed to sorting things out with Andrew as amicably as possible to ensure the well-being of our son. I would hope for some space and privacy in order to work through this.'
Her lawyers, Robert Cohen and Bernard Clair of Cohen Clair Lans Greifer & Thorpe LLP, added: 'We are working to resolve this situation in a fair and reasonable way that protects the best interests of our client and her son.'
MailOnline can reveal that Lauren and her estranged husband Andrew worked together to co-ordinate their statements, each emphasising that their seven-year-old son Adam was their joint priority.

Lauren Silverman quiet on Simon Cowell's baby

Agreement: It's thought that Simon tried to reach an agreement with Lauren before the story went public

Mr Silverman's stated: 'My top priority is protecting my seven year old son while working to resolve all outstanding issues with my wife.  Hopefully people can respect the interest of our child during this process.'
However, Mr Silverman's brother, Alexander, said what had unfolded in the last few days was ‘an unbelievable story of betrayal. It is a sad story and a tragic story’.
Mrs Silverman, 36, had been holed up with her mother Carole and son at the £2.5million family home in the Hamptons, New York.

Cool character: Lauren looked unfazed about the drama surrounding her love-life as she popped to the shops

Mrs Silverman, who is said to be ten weeks pregnant, emerged to walk her son to his school bus wearing a white linen blouse which seemed to hint at a slight bump underneath.
She later stepped out in a black clinging linen dress.
Meanwhile Cowell, 53, faced the press for the first time since the news broke at a television studio 2,500 miles away in Los Angeles.
He refused to answer questions about the baby at an ill-timed X Factor press conference, instead calling the matter 'private' and insisting the matter was 'sensitive'.

Stride: Lauren wore a black maxi dress featuring a split up one side which revealed her leg as she walked

TV star: Lauren reportedly is keen to have her own show like the Kardashians

It has emerged that Mr Silverman has cited Cowell in divorce papers.

The move, clearly designed to embarrass Cowell, could potentially force him to reveal details of the alleged affair in court.
Mrs Silverman is accused in the papers of adultery with Cowell and of being ‘cruel and inhuman’ towards her husband.
And a friend claimed that the Silvermans were far from being an ‘estranged couple’, as has been suggested.

Breaking cover: Simon Cowell was peppered with questions about the pregnancy at an ill-times X Factor press conference in Beverly Hills on Thursday; he told the press it was 'private'

Still smiling: Cowell looked in good spirits despite the controversy surrounding his personal life

It is claimed Mr Silverman, a real-estate developer and millionaire casino owner, recently upgraded his wife’s engagement ring with a ten-carat diamond.

Yesterday Mrs Silverman was accused of issuing Cowell with a string of demands – but the claims made against her are alleged to have come from Cowell’s supporters, so could be designed to win favour for the multi-millionaire.

A source claimed: ‘Lauren is now going around telling people that she will be in charge of all his [Cowell’s] properties around the world and has demanded a country home in the Cotswolds.

Motherly support: Lauren was spotted shopping with her mother Carole, who could have passed as she her sister, on Thursday

All smiles: The married socialite, who is pregnant with Simon Cowell's child, seen leaving a holiday home in the Hamptons with her son on Thursday morning

She has also threatened not to allow him access to the child unless he marries her.

‘Lauren has also started to push Simon to turn her into a reality TV star. She wants her own show like the Kardashians and has already apparently started filming the pregnancy.
'Simon is horrified and has said no. He [Cowell] is already talking about creating separate baby wings in all his homes for Lauren and the baby.

‘His mansions are huge and he will effectively be allowed to carry on with his own life without disruption.

‘He has no problems looking after his heir apparent – that is all he is interested in and he will ensure  Lauren has a roof over her head in order to raise his child.’

Happy: Lauren looked completely carefree and showed a hint of bump in her white shirt as she left the home where she is spending time over the summer with her son

Shy: Andrew Silverman kept his head down after a source closed to Cowell told MailOnline that Andrew named him in the divorce ‘to cause the utmost embarrassment’ to the star

Others around Cowell, who is believed to be worth £225million, claimed a wedding was not on the cards.

One said: ‘Simon does NOT, NOT, NOT plan to get married to her [Lauren]. Simon is gearing up for a potentially ugly child support battle.

‘He tried desperately to reach an agreement with Lauren before it went public but she surprised Simon and leaked the news.
‘Simon was hoping to reach a financial agreement with her and then release a joint statement but Lauren is savvy and wants to be famous and when he refused her opening demands for marriage she leaked it.’

Bitter battle: Lauren's husband Andrew has cited the X Factor boss in the divorce papers

Cowell and Miss Silverman are said to have first met on holiday in Barbados around seven years ago, and struck up a relationship around 12 months ago.

Even the music mogul’s closest friends were unaware that they were seeing one another.
Cowell could be hauled in front of a US court to give evidence about his affair with his former friend’s wife after being listed on court papers as co-respondent.
Lauren posted a picture of the pair of them together to her Instagram page cuddled up together during a holiday.
Along with the picture she wrote: ''Me and my lil Simey monster #simoncowell x'

Mr Silverman, 37, is understood to have learned his wife was expecting Cowell’s baby only last month. He filed the papers at Manhattan’s Supreme Court on July 15.

Brave face: Cowell's former fiancée Mezhgan Hussainy smiled widely as she arrived at his home in Beverly Hills following the baby news being made public

She's still all white: Mezhgan headed inside the house to chat to Cowell

New York is a no-fault divorce state, meaning that couples do not need a reason to end their marriage.
But Mr Silverman is said to feel so betrayed by his wife and his long-term friend that he has filed for a divorce on the grounds of adultery in an attempt to shame the pair in public.

This is heavily discouraged by  lawyers because of the huge costs and the often bitter fallout it causes between couples.

Demands: Lauren has reportedly asked Simon, pictured leaving an LA studio on Wednesday, for her own TV show

Under US law, Mr Silverman is required to prove his wife’s infidelity, even if she and Cowell admit to the affair. It means Cowell would have to reveal evidence of his meetings with Mrs Silverman, such as hotel receipts and text messages.
He would also have to take a paternity test to show whether or not the baby was his. If adultery is proved, he will be asked to foot Mr Silverman’s legal bills, which could come to more than £200,000.

A source close to Cowell told the Daily Mail last night: ‘This has all turned into a mess for him. This is not the way in which he wanted it to come out. He is now worried about the sponsorship deals he has for his various shows.

Bonded: The trio looked very cosy as they lay together on the deck of the boat during the 2012 break

History: In October 2012 the pair were pictured house hunting alongside som friends in Los Angeles

‘Companies like Pepsi are not going to be pleased with the headlines about Cowell fathering a child with a married woman.
‘His sponsors could argue that he has brought their brands into disrepute.

‘Many aren’t particularly happy about being associated with his shows as they are struggling with ratings and they could now use this as an excuse to break out of their contracts. Simon is now worried he may lose valuable sources of income.’
Representatives for Cowell refused to comment last night.
