Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Marion Ross on working with Cary Grant in Operation: Petticoat, Raymond Burr and Barbara Hale on Perry Mason, Jean Stapleton and Larry Storch in Arsenic and Old Lace, and Joel Grey on Brooklyn Bridge; dancing the tango with The Fonz on Happy Days; and how the simple act of fixing a broken tile on her kitchen floor changed the course of her life. Marion’s book, MY DAYS: HAPPY AND OTHERWISE, is the inspiring story of how a young girl from Albert Lea, Minnesota dreamed that she would become an actress and overcame many life challenges to make that dream come true
