Biography

Erin Moran est la benjamine d’une famille de six enfants.

Elle tourne dans son premier spot publicitaire à l'âge de six ans et participe régulièrement aux émissions télévisées Daktari (1968-69) et « the Don Rickles show » (1972).
Avant Happy Days elle effectue quelques apparitions dans divers projets à la tv, au théâtre ou au cinéma : My three sons, Family affair, How sweet it is (1968), Watermelon man (1970).

Après le succès fulgurant de Happy days, où elle joue un rôle de plus en plus important au fil des saisons, Erin Moran devient la coprotagoniste de la série TV Joanie loves Chachi , un spin-off de Happy days. Quand cette série a pris fin en 1983, elle revient dans Happy days pour la dernière saison.

Après un petit rôle dans le film Dear God de Garry Marshall en mars 1997, elle participe à une émission spéciale sur vh-1 Groovin' on the tube.

The film revolves around a business meeting at a restaurant between frustrated screenwriter Byron (Byron Thames), hack director Larry (Larry Thomas), and clueless producer James (James Vallo). Byron struggles in vain to stick to his original vision for a film, while Larry and James are intent on altering the script. Aside from their wishing to make money, they also want to create a film that will "make the audience walk out...in a good way!" Their shocking movie is tentatively titled "The Umpire Strikes Back", due to the "created" narrative revolving around a baseball ump (Reggie Bannister), who goes on a killing spree which includes a rip-off of the iconic black-and-white shower scene from Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, but with a bat replacing the infamous knife.

He also has an enemy in co-worker and supervisor Samson Link (David J. Stewart), who can't understand how Harry manages to live beyond his means.
