Roz Kelly's Career
It could be argued that Roz Kelly had the potential to become a successful actress. She had an eye for photography, and her artistic inclinations could have helped her in the industry. However, following her character being dropped from the show, her other unfavorable traits would soon surface.
It seems that she had a temperament problem she could hardly contain. After her neighbor’s car alarm went off and woke her up one morning, she became infuriated and shot at their home with a shotgun. Two years after the incident, she reportedly hit a man with a cane and was sentenced to 120 days in jail.

Chachi was an aspiring musician, but it was his relationship with Joanie that would make him famous. At the time of his involvement in Happy Days, Scott Baio would receive up to 5,000 letters from his fans each week.
Happy Days in the 1920s or 1930s
The Happy Days sitcom has become one of the most syndicated shows in TV history. But not many know that it ought to have been written based on a different era. Its creator, Garry Marshall was approached by network executives to produce and direct a show based on the 1920s or the 1930s.
Marshall was keen on doing the show, except that he didn’t know anything substantial about the designated era, nor about the flappers. He counter-offered to write a pilot about the 1950s instead since he grew up in those years and felt he had much to share based on his experiences. While Marshall’s pilot wasn’t a hit right away (more on that soon), its creation still marks the moment when Happy Days was born.
Anson Williams On Happy Days
American actor, Anson Williams, was only 22 years old when he auditioned for Happy Days. He was still unknown at the time, and little did he know that his role as Potsie would earn him a nomination for a Golden Globe in the category of Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film.
Like his character, Williams was just trying to make it in the industry. It was an opportunity he almost missed, by the way, after his car broke down while on his way to the audition. Somehow, through sheer determination, he still made it there, barely in time, to capture that coveted role.
