What happened to her earnings and residuals form Happy Days?

I thought the Jackie Cooper laws protected the income of kid actors...

On a site that must not be named, she and the others in the cast are supposed to go back into court to regain their royalties. Don't know why they would have lost them.

Wow, she's really aged. It was not that long ago that she appeared in a Weezer video ("Buddy Holly") which is basically a re-creation of a Happy Days show. I think that video was shot in 1994 and she looked pretty good, as did all the "Happy Days" cast for that matter - I was surprised. It was like the band Weezer went back in a time machine to the 1970s "Happy Days" set!

Anyway, 18 years was not that long ago.

She probably didn't get a lot from that. She's pretty far down the cast list. Her own show bombed. That money was probably spent a long time ago.

Never understood her character getting a show with Chachi. At the time, they were pretty much the central characters on Happy Days (Richie was gone and Fonzie was getting a little old for the act, and he was trying to get out of his contract). Putting them on their own also added the problem that it was still family-oriented, but they weren't married, making their relationship even less believable.

Woof ! Looks like she got residual cheeks instead of residual checks.

Next time, read the contract, Erin.
