Marion Ross’s life story truly embodies resilience and warmth. Famous for her role as Marion Cunningham on *Happy Days*, she portrayed the quintessential American mother—a character who was not only adored on screen but was close to her own caring nature. Ross’s journey from Watertown, Minnesota, to Hollywood success was shaped by her determination and passion, even as she faced challenges in her personal life.
Her marriage to Freeman “Effie” Meskimen presented difficult times. Despite outward appearances, their life was far from perfect, with Freeman’s struggles with alcohol adding strain. After their divorce, Marion had to balance single motherhood and her career, often renting out a room to make ends meet. Yet she persevered, ultimately finding fulfillment in both her role on *Happy Days* and in her life.
At 60, Marion found love again with actor Paul Michael. Their relationship blossomed into a deeply affectionate partnership that brought happiness into her later years. Though Paul passed away in 2011, Marion’s joy for life never dimmed. She retired from acting a few years ago, choosing instead to focus on spending time with family, especially her son, Jim, who often shares touching moments with her on social media.
Now nearing 96, Marion Ross remains an enduring inspiration, celebrated for both her career and her personal strength. Her journey speaks to the power of resilience, love, and living with joy, making her a beloved figure for fans old and new.

“I was in England when I got the message that the prince wanted to talk to me. I was like, ‘What?’… and then I said, ‘Okay,’” Costner told People Magazine.

Afterwards, as reported by Caras, they talked for about thirty minutes. Costner didn’t share everything from their private conversation but said his meeting with Prince William was “nice.”
Years before, there were rumors that Costner and Princess Diana were considering a sequel to the popular movie The Bodyguard from 1992.
“It was something that was moving forward quietly because that’s how I work,” Costner said. He mentioned that Sarah Ferguson introduced him to Princess Diana.
“It was so sweet. Sarah was the one that set this up. Sarah was very cool… when she could have been going, ‘Well, I’m a princess too. What about me?’ She didn’t do that at all. Diana and I began to talk.”
