Unhappy Days for Homeless 'Happy Days' Actress Erin Moran

September 27, 2012 Hot Topics

Erin Moran, star of the hit 70s show "Happy Days," has reportedly fallen on hard times and is now homeless in Indiana. Moran and husband Steve Fleischman had been living with his mother in a trailer park since early summer, but have been kicked out.

The National Enquirer says trouble started when the couple lost their California home to foreclosure in June, forcing them to move in with Steve’s mom. Erin, who played Joanie on the long-running sitcom, was booted by her mother-in-law for reportedly partying too much.
 


“Erin was going out to bars and coming home at all hours of the night, sometimes with her rowdy bar friends, and Steve's mom just couldn't take it anymore,” a source told the Enquirer.
 
Now the 51-year-old is bouncing from one hotel to another and was recently photographed outside the Holiday Inn in Corydon, Indiana.
 
Moran starred in “Happy Days” from 1974 to 1984 and had a spinoff with Scott Baio called “Joanie Loves Chachi.” Aside from a few bit parts, Erin was out of the spotlight until she joined “Celebrity Fit Club” in 2008.
 
The Daily Mail reports that Erin and Steve are now living off the last of a $65,000 settlement for merchandising royalties they received from CBS in July.

Where are all the bleeding heart liberals? You spout your rhetoric about helping people like her, but do nothing for one of your own. Why don't you donate one day of your drug and alcohol money and get her into a home and treatment? Put your money where your mouth is.

She looks pretty rough like she has turned to alcohol or drugs. Thats a shame if true.

This sounds like someone who should go to Rehab and say yes, yes, yes. I enjoyed watching Happy Days during its time, and there was even a spinoff to the show, Joani Loves Chachi. I'm sure she could have done a lot more before getting into the trouble she's in now. The ways she was always acting so "superior" to her family, especially Marion and the cousin of the "Fonz" is most probably what has done her in for the current time.

Seems like she was drinking away her mortgage payment.

I know a lady that lost her job then she drank lots of alcohol with people she knew . She became homeless . I feel bad to see the Happy Days star star Joanne homeless . It breaks my heart to see people get themselves homeless . What a nightmare with many reasons how people become homeless like when jobs get off shored to other countries or technology replaces employees .

She could have been a big star starring in the Lifetime movies or A & E Flicks..a shame she chose to be a crack whore instead.

Maybe they need to get regular jobs just like everyone else, instead of trying to live off of her past fame.

That is so sad, Erin Morin was one of those actresses with a lot of promise, she was beautiful, a very talented actress and singer, she seemed very intelligent. I did see her in an interview a couple of months ago (Scott Baio tried to intervene and get her some some help)she was so bitter and angry, she has $65,000 left, let's hope she does something constructive with the rest of her money.
