‘Happy Days’ cast on sitcom fame 50 years later: ‘It was like The Beatles’
18.01.2024 - 18:31 / nypost.com
The ABC series, set in Eisenhower-Era Milwaukee, materialized on the heels of the 1950s nostalgia craze generated by the movie “American Graffiti.“The show revolved around the all-American, middle-class Cunningham family: loving parents Marion (Marion Ross) and Howard (Tom Bosley), their good-natured teenage son, Richie (Ron Howard, who co-starred in “American Graffiti”) and his kid sister, Joanie (Erin Moran).Howard, the future Oscar-winning director (“A Beautiful Mind”), was already familiar to television viewers as Opie Taylor on “The Andy Griffith Show” in the 1960s; both Ross and Bosley were seasoned showbiz veterans whose resumes dated back to the 1950s. The supporting cast members, though, were largely unfamiliar to viewers: Henry Winkler as loyal, tough-guy greaser with a heart of gold Arthur Fonzarelli — aka “Fonzie,” aka “The Fonz” (“Aaayyy!”) — and Richie’s pals, wide-eyed Potsie Weber (Anson Williams) and wiseguy Ralph Malph (Don Most).In its third season, the series went from a single-format sitcom (shot like a movie) to a three-camera setup with episodes filmed before a live audience — adding electric energy to a surging show already ingrained in American pop culture.By its fourth season, “Happy Days” shot to No.
1. Winkler’s The Fonz became a breakout figure and one of the most iconic characters in sitcom history — anchored, at the show’s core, by his friendship with Ritchie, Potsie and Ralph.“I think the show has always resonated with people because we portrayed the ideal American family with healthy moral values,” Ross, 95, told The Post via email.

Leonardo DiCaprio Q&A: Why It Was Worth The Struggle To Toss A Hero Take On ‘Killers Of The Flower Moon’ To Unlock Dark Truths & Resonant Performances Like Lily Gladstone Breakout Turn
DiCaprio would play the incorruptible Texas Ranger-turned FBI agent Tom White, whose sleuthing ends the Reign Of Terror murders that decimated the murders of oil rich Osage tribe members in Oklahoma in the 1920s. Until DiCaprio, Scorsese and De Niro decided it didn’t nearly capture the complicity of law enforcement and the white community that were so indifferent to the plight of the Osage, whose leaders basically bribed J Edgar Hoover’s new division to get involved. It perpetuated the “white savior” narrative that has been a staple of Hollywood westerns forever, and did little to capture the Osage side of the story. Here, he explains why this epiphany that set back the project years and led him to switch from hero to villain, was so worth it and resulted in a movie many have called a masterpiece with staying power.

It remains a very specific chapter in my life with tremendous emotional reverberations, still.My family kept trying to tell me [how good the show was] and I told them, “Stop telling me that stuff because it’s just going to mess with me — I don’t know where to put that information.” I felt maybe I really don’t know what I’m doing or maybe they’re going to find out I don’t know what I’m doing.
