Happy Days star Marion Ross, 91, says she’s ‘staying in and staying out of trouble’ during lockdown

At 91, she’s experienced plenty of challenges during her long life and career.

So it’s perhaps no surprise that Happy Days star Marion Ross is taking life during the coronavirus pandemic in her stride and looking for the positives.

‘I’m just staying in and staying out of trouble,’ the veteran actress told Fox News on Wednesday. ‘I walk around my property and look at spring coming to life!’

Ross, who starred for 11 seasons from 1974 to 1984 as Marion Cunningham on ABC’s Happy Days, resides in a beach community in San Diego County in California.

She said she’s getting plenty of help during the lockdown that requires people to remain self-isolated at home.

‘My family is so devoted to my well being,’ she told Fox News. 

‘My son brings me a green drink everyday with kale, broccoli and protein powder. My daughter and son also bring me groceries and make sure I have everything I need.’

She went on: ‘It is such a wonderful time to bond and connect with family even if we are not together. I also have been calling friends to see how they are and have a little chat.’

Last November, Ross joined her former sitcom stars for a special reunion at the Garry Marshall Theatre’s 3rd Annual Founder’s Gala in LA. 

Marshall, who created Happy Days and several spin-offs including Laverne & Shirley and Mork & Mindy, passed away in 2016 at the age of 81.

Ross walked the red carpet with Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, Don Most and Anson Williams as they were honored at the fundraising event.

The five are also set to take part in an upcoming ABC TV special The Happy Days of Garry Marshall scheduled to air on Tuesday, May 12.

In addition to the Happy Days cast, the program will also feature Pretty Woman stars Richard Gere, Hector Elizondo and Julia Roberts; Cindy Williams, David Lander and Michael McKean from Laverne & Shirley; Mork & Mindy’s Pam Dawber and Julie Andrews, Anne Hathaway and Chris Pine from The Princess Diaries.
