Happy Days Star Anson Williams, 77, Shocks Fans in Shirtless Selfie
The former "Happy Days" star said age is no limit and credited discipline and his wife, Sharon MaHarry, for his outlook.
On Saturday, actor Anson Williams shared a shirtless selfie on Instagram while celebrating his health and vitality at 77.
Best known as Warren "Potsie" Weber on "Happy Days," Williams played the role for 11 seasons before shifting his focus to directing television shows including "Melrose Place" and "Sabrina the Teenage Witch."
The actor married writer and real estate broker Sharon MaHarry in 2023, telling People magazine he would trade his "stardom, notoriety, all that bologna" for her.
Williams urged fellow Boomers to refuse letting anyone "diminish us because of our age," crediting his outlook to discipline, adventure, and "the absolute refusal to let anyone else decide my worth."
Beyond entertainment, Williams remains civically active, having run for mayor of Ojai, California, in 2022 after recalling being mobbed by fans during "Happy Days" peak popularity.
