Some Happy Days Cast members sue CBS over money owed

[televisionarchives]

Interesting for many reasons. One being that Henry Winkler and Ron Howard are not part of the lawsuit. I've seen the slot machines. They're all over them. Also Erin Moran seems to have made up with some of the cast. She had some pretty strong things to say about them years ago. She accused Henry Winkler of being a pedophile and [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]molesting her. This was about 15 years ago. Also I believe many of the cast members got fed up with Henry Winkler at one point when ABC wanted to change the name of the show to something like Fonzie's Happy Days. It wasn't the happy crew many thought it was.

ABC did want to change the name, but Henry Winkler was the one that fought against the idea. And in the same vain requested that he never come before Ron Howard in the credits.

As for the molesting rumor, that was twisted from an interview she did.
The actual question and answer can be found here:
Erin Moran Interview

Question #13:I also read somewhere you where abused as a child, is this true? PLEASE explain? Did this mean as a child actor or a child?


Answer #13: I have never been abused in the business! There was mental and physical abuse in my family.

CBS has admitted to some payments not being made. The question now is the amounts of money.

Ron Howard probably isn't suing, as he had plenty of other revenues, so that anything from this lawsuit wouldn't make a difference to him.

Yes, but they did start a Saturday Morning Cartoon with his name .The Fonz and the Happy Days Gang.

Good for them, they deserve the money.

They have always had some creative bookkeepers in Hollywood. Movies like the first Batman. It had a budget of $48 million dollars and made $411 Million but they some how didn't make a profit, or not one that you could notice.
