‘Happy Days' cast members reunited this weekend
Fans of the beloved series 'Happy Days,' which aired from 1974 to 1984, got a treat this weekend when some of the cast members came together at Steel City Con outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, Anson Williams and Don Most joined a panel discussion about the series. The convention shared video from the event on their social media.
'We are very happy to be here in Pittsburgh,' said Winkler who played Arthur 'The Fonz' Fonzarelli on the show.
He later said that it had been 'the first time that we have appeared this way in 50 years.'
Howard, who grew up on screen and went on to become a Oscar-winning director, starred as Richie Cunningham on the sitcom.
'It feels like it's been 50 minutes, because we're having so much fun hanging and this was sort of our great excuse to come together, so thank you,' he said at the event. 'And by the way, it's just been amazing.'
The classic series was so popular that it spurned several spinoffs, including 'Laverne & Shirley' and 'Mork & Mindy.'

Ariana DeBose says mom Gina Michelle DeBose has died of complications from ovarian cancer at 57
Ariana DeBose's mother Gina Michelle DeBose died Sunday morning "due to complications with stage 3 ovarian cancer," the actress and singer said this week. The "West Side Story" and "Love Hurts" star took to Instagram on Tuesday, posting a carousel of photos and a touching tribute to her "gorgeous, hilarious, outspoken, warrior queen Mother." "I couldn't be more proud of her and how she fought this insidious disease over the past 3 years. She was 57 years young," DeBose wrote in the caption. "She was my favorite person, my biggest fan and toughest critic. My best friend. She was my date to every important moment in my professional and personal life - and I wouldn't have it any other way," the post continued. "It had always been the two of us for as long as I can remember." DeBose said her mom "fought like hell to give me a good life, a good education and every opportunity in the world. I wouldn't be where I am without her." The Academy Award winner recalled a moment from her 2022 Oscars acceptance speech -- delivered after winning the award for best supporting actress for her role as Anita in "West Side Story" -- writing, "I meant it when I said my Oscar 'is just as much hers as it is mine.'" DeBose also highlighted her mom's purpose in life, to educate young people. "She passed just shy of delivering 30 years of service as a public school teacher," she wrote. "She was beloved and incredibly respected by her colleagues and students alike. The greatest advocate for the underdog, a believer in arts education and the smartest person I know - with a willingness to speak her mind regardless of the consequences." She added that her "greatest and most proud achievement will always be to have made her proud." In one of the carousel photos, DeBose left a detailed note outlining where people could donate in her mother's memory. "Details for a celebration of her life will be made available in the coming weeks," the note read. "At this time, I ask that my family's privacy be respected." A representative for DeBose did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment. What to know about ovarian cancer Ovarian cancer is the second-most common gynecologic cancer in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. According to the agency, the disease "causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system." While most women who are diagnosed with ovarian cancer are not at high risk, according to the CDC, there are many factors that could potentially increase a woman's risk for ovarian cancer, including a family history of the disease; a genetic mutation such as BRCA1 or BRCA2, "or one associated with Lynch syndrome"; a history of breast, uterine or colon cancer; or a diagnosis of endometriosis, described by the CDC as a condition where tissue from the lining of the uterus grows elsewhere in the body. Those who are middle-aged or older, people with an Eastern European or Ashkenazi Jewish background, or those who have never given birth or who have had issues getting pregnant may also be at increased risk for ovarian cancer. Symptoms can include abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, bloating, a change in bowel habits, or "feeling full too quickly, or difficulty eating." Knowing risk factors is imperative as the Pap test does not screen for ovarian cancer, and the CDC says "there is no reliable way to screen for ovarian cancer in women who do not have any symptoms."

Spike Lee says he won't shop around his scrapped ESPN Colin Kaepernick doc: 'That thing fell apart a year ago'
The news that Spike Lee 's ESPN documentary about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick is being scrapped may have only broken yesterday, but to Lee, it's old hat. "That thing fell apart a year ago," Lee, 68, told Business Insider in an interview on Tuesday while promoting his latest movie, "Highest 2 Lowest." "No one had ever asked me about it. I was on a red carpet and a guy asked me the question, I wasn't going to lie." On Friday, Reuters asked the Oscar-winning director about the docuseries, to which Lee responded, "It's not coming out. That's all I can say." ESPN confirmed the news in a statement, which it also provided to Business Insider for this story. "ESPN, Colin Kaepernick and Spike Lee have collectively decided to no longer proceed with this project as a result of certain creative differences," the statement read. "Despite not reaching finality, we appreciate all the hard work and collaboration that went into this film." Lee also told Business Insider that he has no plans to try to sell the project to another network or streaming service. "No, it's unfortunate, but I mean, I've moved on," Lee said. "That was a year ago." Business Insider reached out to Kaepernick for comment but didn't get an immediate response. The docuseries was first announced in 2020, and Lee became attached to the project in 2022. It was touted as delivering an extensive look at the former QB through never-before-seen archival footage and new interviews. Kaepernick, 37, who played for the San Francisco 49ers from 2011 to 2016, was at the center of a media firestorm when he began kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racism. In 2017, he opted out of his contract with the 49ers and was never signed by another team, essentially ending his NFL career. In 2019, he privately settled his grievance against the NFL for collusion among the team owners.
