Watertown, Carver County, Minnesota, USA:
Marion Ross (* 25. Oktober 1928) ist eine US-amerikanische Schauspielerin, die vor allem für ihre Rolle als Marion Cunningham in der ABC-Fernsehserie „Happy Days“ (1974–1984) bekannt ist. Geboren wurde sie als Marian Ross in Watertown im Carver County im Süden Minnesotas als Tochter von Ellen (geb. Hamilton) und Gordon Ross. Sie lebte zunächst in Waconia, zog dann nach Willmar und schließlich nach Albert Lea, Minnesota. Im Alter von 13 Jahren änderte sie die Schreibweise ihres Namens von „Marian“ in „Marion“, da sie fand, dass dies auf einem Leuchtschild besser aussehen würde. Nach der zehnten Klasse zog sie nach Minneapolis, Minnesota, wo sie als Au-pair arbeitete, Schauspiel am MacPhail Center for the Arts studierte und die Southwest High School besuchte. Ein Jahr später zog ihre Familie nach San Diego, Kalifornien. Dort machte sie ihren Highschool-Abschluss an der Point Loma High School. Anschließend schrieb sie sich an der San Diego State University ein, wo sie zur herausragendsten Schauspielerin der Universität gekürt wurde. Nach ihrem Abschluss 1950 trat sie in einem Sommertheater in La Jolla, Kalifornien, auf. Der Regisseur war von ihrem Talent beeindruckt und empfahl ihr, sich um Rollen im Filmgeschäft zu bewerben.
