Bio

Marion Cunningham is the wife of Howard Cunningham and the mother of Richie, Joanie, and (briefly) Chuck Cunningham. She is a housewife and does what housewife stereotypes normally do. She often calls Richie by his given name "Richard," and his friends by their real names, such as "Warren" (Potsie) and "Arthur" (Fonzie). The only character Marion does not call by his real name is Chachi. She is the only character in the show to address Fonzie by his real name "Arthur," which she always does affectionately.
