Why is this a sad story? There are a lot of people who would be grateful for that "meager" Wal-Mart job.

In all seriousness, though. She really doesn't look "beyond her 51 years," either. I mean, it's not like she's ended up homeless or in court, or Betty Ford.

To be sure, there are a lot of stuck-up people, perhaps especially in New York, who look down their noses at people living in double-wides in Ohio, but this isn't Margot Kidder or Dan Rather, babbling to themselves on a street corner. This is someone making the best of things, willing to take care of an extended family member.

"Happy Days," indeed. Remember the Laverne and Shirley spin off? That may have been the most cocaine-soaked television show in history. The old guy who ran the pretend Soda Shop was the biggest dealer in Hollywood, before getting busted. He's probably still in jail.

That's Show Business.

The writer James Ellroy once said, "actors are f-ed-up people."

Sounds to me like Erin Moran ain't one of them.

I have a fair amount of respect for famous people who go out of their way to live normal lives. Even moderately liberal ones like Jeff Daniels who lives in his hometown (Chelsea Mi) with family all around.
