The 'Happy Days' Gang Gathers To Say Goodbye To Erin Moran
On Tuesday, May 2nd, several of the stars from Happy Days reunited at an informal memorial service for Erin Moran.
On Tuesday, May 2nd, several of the stars from Happy Days reunited at an informal memorial service for Erin Moran, the actress who played Joanie Cunningham for 10 years on the long-running 1950s sitcom. The gathering took place at Marion Ross' Woodland Hills, California home, which is appropriately known as the "Happy Days Farm."
Scott Baio, who played Chachi Arcola, posted a photo of the group, which included Marion Ross, Ron Howard, Don Most, Anson Williams and Cathy Silvers.
The actors shared stories and memories of Moran to honor her life. It was a fitting end to a life cut too short by cancer.
Marion Ross, who played matriarch Marion Cunningham, shared her grief in a press statement shortly after Erin's death:
"I’m just heartbroken about Erin. She was a wonderful smart young girl on ‘Happy Days’ ... so talented! My heart aches for this loss."
I imagine there are many hearts that are aching now. Erin Moran was a bright star whose light was extinguished too soon.

'Arrow': Prometheus Just Proved That His Evil Knows No Bounds — Is Oliver Facing The Worst Tragedy Yet?
Note: This post contains spoilers for Arrow Season 5. Adrian Chase, also known as Prometheus, has crossed many lines as the Season 5 villain of Arrow. As with Damien Darhk in Season 4, not much has been off-limits. And in Season 5, Episode 20, titled "Underneath," Prometheus followed in Darhk's footsteps and found Oliver's son, William. But this season's nemesis has proven that he doesn't have the family connection that Darhk did, which puts William in grave danger.

Spellbound (1945)
As part of my ongoing ambition to be a 1940s screenwriter, I have re-watched Hitchcock’s Spellbound. Of course, he is the master of suspense. During the 1940s and 1950s Hitchcock used his years of experience in the film industry to direct some of the most thrilling and frightening films of the era. They are full of heightened emotions, conflict and twisted plot-lines.

Life Lessons You Can Learn From Holiday Movies
Be Nice and Slooow Down “Every Hallmark movie boils down to kindness. So much of what they say is just, like, ‘Come from a place of empathy—and have a lot of grace for people.’ Not only in romantic relationships but also in friendships and family relationships. Sometimes while I watch, I also think to myself that maybe I’m moving too fast and maybe I’m not giving anybody a chance. I think we know these lessons but get caught up in life. These movies are a nice reminder!”
