My Take

For me, Erin Moran will always be frozen in the warm glow of Happy Days, the Joanie Cunningham everyone's living room knew by heart. A Burbank kid who grew up on camera, she carried a slice of an entire television era on her shoulders, and earning her own spin-off was no small feat. What I find most moving, though, is the quiet stretch that followed the fame. Child stardom is famously cruel to the people who survive it, and her passing in 2017 at just 56 hit harder because of that. I hold a real fondness and respect for a performer who gave so many people such uncomplicated joy.
