Check out the car collection that is linked to from the article. A bit of a petrolhead was our Arnold.

He also played Carr The Floor-Walker in Cool Hand Luke, where every misdemeanour would result in spending 'a night in the box'. Famously parodied in The Simpsons.

Erin Moran

Joanie from Happy Days and Joanie Loves Chacci found dead in her trailer at a park in Indiana.

It didn't work out well for her after the cancellation of her series and losing a court case about licensing rights with the producers of the two shows. Became an addict and went up from being one of the biggest stars of the 70s to ending up pretty much shouting at the bins round the back of a 7/11.

Mad magazine once ran a skit on "Happy Days" called "Crappy Days". May not have been too inaccurate for this lady's later life.

All a bit sad.

Any excuse for the millenials (hipsters or whatever description is currently in fashion) to have a go at someone if they have that photo on their profile - https://twitter.com/ScottBaio
