You know I was thinking about this but do you think Mrs. C. was an original tv cougar. I mean some of her lines about "getting frisky" with Mr. C, I mean you didnt really see that before. I dont remember Mrs. Cleaver or Mrs. Anderson ever saying something like that. Also, what about the time she was the belly dancer when she thought she was losing Mr. C. I mean you didnt see too many mothers act like belly dancers back then. I always thought she looked pretty damn good for an older woman. To me, not bad to look at.

In the later episodes when she wore her hair down she looked darn good. To me she looked younger. Marion Ross, to me, is a very good looking actress. I did like her portrayal of Marion Cunningham where she was slightly daffy and made her funny. She was definitely opposite of June Cleaver and Margaret Anderson. She was more in the vein of Laura Petrie.

She was a very pretty woman. I heard that her and Henry Winkler used to flirt on the set of happy days. They may have even dated. I remember seeing her in Operation Petticoat with Cary Grant and Tony Curtis. She was a nurse in that movie and she was so fine in 1959.
