Happy Days’ “Joanie” Erin Moran Has Seen Better Days!

Erin Moran, the actress who was only 14 when she signed on to the hit show “Happy Days” to play the role of Joanie Cunningham, is now haggard and homeless.

Moran, 51, was photographed looking worse for wear outside of a Holiday Inn in Corydon, Indiana, after she was kicked out of the trailer house she shared with her husband Steve Fleischmann.

Erin had been kicked to the curb by her mother-in-law, who was sick and tired of the star’s “hard-partying” lifestyle.

It was reported in June that Erin and her husband had moved into a rundown trailer park after they lost their California home that went into foreclosure.

A family friend said of the situation, “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.”

Moran played the squeaky-clean Joanie in the sitcom “Happy Days”, which started in 1974 and ran for nearly ten years.

Erin Moran reprised her role in 1982 in her spinoff with Scott Baio, entitled “Joanie Loves Chachi” until its cancellation the following year.

Since that time, Moran’s career has been non-existent, but was featured on the reality show “Celebrity Fit Club” in 2008.

Moran and her husband are now reportedly living off her payout from a lawsuit filed by several “Happy Days” cast member in 2011.

The lawsuit claimed cast members had not received money from the merchandising revenues they were owed under their contracts.

In July 2012, Erin and her co-stars settled their lawsuit with CBS with each receiving a payment of $65,000 and a promise by CBS to continue honoring the terms of their contracts.
