Happy Days Star Erin Moran Photographed Living Out of a Motel
Remember Erin Moran who played Joanie Cunningham? She was the little girl on Happy Days. She played Ron Howard’s little sister and she later had a spin off called Joanie Loves Chachi costarring her television boyfriend Scott Baio. Ahhh…early success. If you are like me, you are probably wondering what Joanie Cunningham’s net worth is today? You would be surprised.
Fast forward to 2012 –
Ron Howard is a Hollywood powerhouse, his net worth is closing in on $100 Million and he has several projects in the works with A-list celebrities.
Erin Moran’s life went in a slightly different direction. The wrong direction. She was caught by paparazzi outside of a Holiday Inn in Corydon, Indiana looking “Ratchet”.
Radaronline reports that Erin and her husband have been evicted from their trailer. The trailer is owned by her Mother in law who was sick and tired of Moran’s partying.
The story originated from the National Enquirer. A source close to the issues reported to them,
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,
I’m always tentative when quoting stories from the Enquirer until I saw these photos.
To be fair, as much money as Ron Howard has…he could easily be photographed and called homeless. With all his money, he is not one to dress up. In fact many of these celebrities choose to dress down on the weekend’s. In Moran’s case, I don’t think its a choice.
Moran’s last decent gig was on Celebrity Fit Club back in 2008 and she recently received a check for $65,000 for a law suit that the Happy Days cast won against CBS who owns the show. CBS was found guilty of not paying monies to the cast for the sale of merchandising. I’m sure that $65,000 went fast.
CelebrityNetWorth reports that Erin Moran only earned $600 – $900 per episode for Happy Days. If that is true then that is peanuts and we really can’t blame her for not having much. They also report Erin Moran’s net worth at just $10,000. Wow! Don’t forget, net worth is everything: cars, houses, jewelry, art collections etc.
You can’t help but feel sorry for Moran, like many child stars, she has fallen hard. Like I always say, Once you’re over the hill, you begin to pick up speed and she is proof.
