A Summertime Happy Days Reunion, Plus Betty Scoop!
Henry Winkler and Ron Howard by Michael Tran/FilmMagic
A bevy of balloons and children arrived for the premiere of
A Plumm Summer, held Sunday at the Mann Bruin Theatre in Westwood, Calif. In homage to one of the film's icons - a true-life marionette named Froggy Doo who appeared alongside "Happy Herb McAllister" on Montana television for 22 years starting in the '60s - the carpet rolled out for celebs was green. Beyond the real Froggy Doo, other icons hit the carpet, including Henry Winkler, who plays "Happy Herb," and Ron Howard, there to support his
Happy Days pal as well as his brother Clint, who has a cameo in the film. Also making an appearance were actors from the movie including Billy Baldwin (
Dirty Sexy Money) and Brenda Strong (
Desperate Housewives).
Delivering news about another ABC fave was Jasmine Jessica Anthony, who will soon be seen on
Ugly Betty as Gio's younger sister, Antonella. "I don't like Betty," Anthony says of her character. "I'm kind of rude to her and say in one of my scenes, 'You're a little old to wear braces.'"
Anthony's truth teller isn't the only one to be reckoned with in the new batch of
Betty. Wilhemina will be up to her old tricks as well, "coming back to 'Mode' and trying to take everybody's job," the young actress tells us. -
