Erin Moran, who played Joanie Cunningham on the hit sitcom "Happy Days" and then again on the spin-off "Joanie Loves Chachi," is homeless and bouncing from hotel to hotel in Indiana, according to a tabloid report.
The 51-year-old actress and her husband were allegedly kicked out of the trailer home they were living in with his mom, according to the National Enquirer (via Radar Online). They were photographed two weeks ago looking a bit rough outside a Holiday Inn Express in Corydon, Ind., as shown by the Daily Mail. …

I vaguely remember her from the one time I saw her and Potsie and Ralph Malph at a Dragoncon and she seemed to be ok. Sad I don’t even remember the year I saw that. Apart from last year where I scratced the LCD of my DSLR, it has been a few years since I have gone to Dragoncon.
Looks like there’s a meth to her madness.
Also, it is said that Scott Baio is the antichrist.
I am reminded of another star, Baby Peggy, a much bigger one at one time - paid $1.5 million in 1923 lost everything (or more precisely it was stolen)... One thing about TV stars of the 1940s-1970s: people never thought about such things as cable TV, VHS, DVDs, toys, posters etc - so much money they never received...
Corydon, IN.... wow....a true way-station. A word of advice, do not eat at the Cracker Barrel there. CB is usually a safe travel pitstop, but that one, no... just no.
She still gets 65k per year in merchandising licensing. How can you be homeless on 65k per year?
We live only 15 minutes away from that CB...we’ve eaten there a quite a bit.
Reality show?
Whoa!
I dont think Chachi loves her anymore...
Funny you should mention Scott Baio.
He just put this out on Twitter today...
“Could someone please tell me where I can get a FREE “Obama phone”?”
LOL

Apparently the lesson didn't take.
These days, they’re fairly well protected from agents and producers, most of the “ripping off” is coming from “stage parents”.
She needs a job. Isn’t there a reality show or a bad horror movie she could act in? A guest slot on Sons of Anarchy? there is cable? Maybe do a video?
What a waste. I feel bad for her and hope she reforms and recovers.
It happened to Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester-t.v.’s “Addams Family”)as well, his parents used up a whole lot of his money! A law called “Coogan’s Law” was enacted in his behalf and of other child actors/entertainers. It was to put their money into a trust and given to them later when they were old enough to use it themselves. It was designed to keep those around them from stealing it for other purposes, and keep them from being exploited with it!
