Anson Williams is feeling better than ever at 77.
The actor, best known for playing Potsie Weber on the beloved sitcom “Happy Days,” shared a shirtless selfie Saturday while celebrating his health, creativity and continued career.
“My yearly reminder to every Boomer: NEVER let anyone diminish us because of our age,” Williams wrote in the Instagram caption.

“I’m 77. More creative, healthier, busier, more curious — and more alive than I was at 40,” he continued, crediting his partner, “good lovin’,” kindness, adventure and “a little discipline” for his outlook.
He added that there are “mountains still worth climbing,” and lastly gave “the absolute refusal to let anyone else decide my worth” as a reason for why he’s thriving.
Williams also encouraged his followers to continue pursuing their goals.
“We didn’t come this far to become invisible,” he wrote. “We came this far to become unstoppable. We’re not winding down. We’re still winning — and we haven’t even played our best hand yet.”
Williams’ message of vitality comes decades after he experienced the overwhelming side of fame while “Happy Days” was at the height of its popularity.
In a previous interview with Fox News Digital, Williams recalled being mobbed by thousands of fans during a concert at the Del Mar Racetrack in California.

“I ended up face-down. On the field. Literally, I couldn’t breathe,” he said. Williams added that his shirt was torn, and he was bleeding before his manager pulled him into a nearby trailer.
“I’m thinking, ‘I don’t know about this fame stuff,’” Williams recalled.

Williams appeared on all 11 seasons of “Happy Days,” which ran from 1974 to 1984. The series also starred Ron Howard, Henry Winkler and Don Most.
The longtime friends reunited publicly in 2025 for the first time in five decades during a panel at Steel City Con in Pittsburgh.
“It feels like 50 minutes,” Howard said during the reunion. “We’re having so much fun hanging, and this is sort of our great excuse to come together.”
After “Happy Days” ended, Williams shifted his focus behind the camera. He went on to direct episodes of “Beverly Hills, 90210,” “Melrose Place,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “Xena: Warrior Princess,” “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” and “Charmed.”

Williams has also remained busy in his personal life.
He married writer and real estate broker Sharon MaHarry in 2023 after the pair reconnected years after first meeting when she sold him a home.
During a previous interview with Fox News Digital, Williams described their relationship as “selfless love” and “an undefinable chemistry.”
The couple also collaborated on the off-Broadway production “Crazy Mama: A True Story of Love and Madness,” based on MaHarry’s memoir. Williams directed the play, which stars his former “Happy Days” co-star Linda Purl.

“Today is Day 1. We have a long runway ahead of us, and we have a tremendous amount of work to do.”
That was one of the lines that Skydance chief David Ellison told those assembled in the Steven J. Ross Theatre at the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank on Tuesday, the day he could finally call those working there his employees.
Ellison mentioned what a long, hard road it was to acquire the storied studio and also said there would be some pain ahead. But he kept his messaging on the idea of building something that could rival the biggest companies in the attention economy.
“When we set out to acquire Paramount, we did so with an even larger ambition,” he said, in remarks shared with The Hollywood Reporter. “We believed then — and we believe even more strongly today — that this industry needs another company with the scale, resources, technology and creative firepower to go toe-to-toe with the biggest players in the world.”
He continued, “Because the competitive landscape has fundamentally changed. We’re not just competing with traditional media companies anymore. We’re competing for people’s time and attention with some of the largest and most sophisticated technology companies in the world — companies with enormous scale, global reach and virtually unlimited resources. So we set out to build a company capable of meeting that moment.”
A sizzle reel highlighting the combined IP from both companies played before the speeches, which a source describes as “impressive,” underscoring the vast entertainment empire that has been created.
Ellison introduced his leadership team, from president Andy Gordon and CFO Dennis Cinelli to Skydance’s co-chairs and chief creative officers Casey Bloys and George Cheeks, to co-chairs of the Skydance motion picture group Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein, among others, while also giving a nod to Gerry Cardinale of RedBird.
Outside, workers were adding fresh paint to the iconic Warner Bros. water tower. The new addition? Text below the logo that said “a Skydance Corporation,” mirroring similar language a few miles away at the Paramount lot in Hollywood.
Offering a bit more detail on the plans was Ynon Kreiz, the executive who is largely seen as the man who will not only make sure that vision gets executed but is also the exec who will make the decisions on cost and jobs cutting. One source said that the former Mattel CEO came off as an “intense dude.”
Laying out the goals of the company, Kriez said the team would work to “establish Skydance as the premier Hollywood content engine … accelerate our integrated DTC platform … and optimize our highly profitable linear TV portfolio, reaching audiences globally across every entertainment vertical, anchored by CBS, the crown jewel of broadcast television.”
To do that, he continued, would require winning in storytelling and building the most technologically capable media company, among other goals.
“To win, we have to be innovative. Innovation can be anywhere. Not only in the great content that we make, or in our new tech stack that will be second to none,” Kreiz told the audience. “Innovation can happen in every part of the company, in any job, by any one, and we should all look to improve on what we have here today, find betters way to do things and challenge conventions. And we will have plenty of opportunities to develop new businesses, products, games and experiences to engage fans wherever they are and be where the consumer is going. Our industry rewards those who push forward, and we intend to lead the way.”
After their remarks, Ellison and Kreiz were interviewed by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, who asked about what comes next for the company, as well as for CNN. Ellison said that he has full confidence in CNN chief Mark Thompson and supports its editorial independence. He also said that he supports CNN’s efforts to get full access to cover the White House, which has restricted its access alongside MS NOW and Politico, sparking a lawsuit.
Ellison was also asked about Secretary Pete Hegseth’s comments from earlier this year, in which he blasted “more fake news from CNN.”
“No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in the press just can’t stop,” Hegseth said. “The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.”
Ellison said that he had seen the quote but didn’t know what Hegseth was talking about.
And yet, some left the town hall underwhelmed. The big question on everyone’s mind remains whether they will have jobs in the future, and while Ellison nodded in the direction of the changes to come, the scope could not be ascertained.
“Bringing together two companies of this size and complexity will require difficult decisions. There will be changes, and there will be impacts. I’m not going to pretend otherwise,” Ellison told the staff. “What I can promise you is that we will move through those decisions as quickly and thoughtfully as we can. We will communicate directly. We will tell you what we know when we know it. And we will not allow a prolonged integration process to distract us from the reason we brought these companies together in the first place: which is to build the next-generation media and entertainment company.”

Soap opera star Robert Kelker-Kelly has died, according to a Missouri medical examiner’s office. He was 62.
A spokesperson for the Missouri Office of the Regional Medical Examiner, which serves Franklin, Jefferson, and St. Charles counties, confirmed in a statement to NBC News that Kelker-Kelly died on Saturday.
The medical examiner’s office did not list the cause of death, and said that its “normal timeline for death certification is approximately 12 weeks,” according to the spokesperson. The office did not have any additional information to share at this time, the spokesperson said.
Kelker-Kelly was best known for playing Bo Brady on “Days of Our Lives” from 1992 to 1995 and Stavros Cassadine on “General Hospital” from 2001 to 2014.
“Days of Our Lives” addressed his death in an Instagram post on Monday.
“Rest in peace,” the post reads.
Kelker-Kelly got his start in daytime television when he joined the cast of “Another World” as Sam Fowler in 1987.
He then joined “Days of Our Lives” in 1992, where he starred alongside some of the soap opera’s most notable stars, including former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member Lisa Rinna.
Rinna and Kelker-Kelly played each other’s love interests on the show. The actor and reality star described having a tumultuous relationship with Kelker-Kelly behind the scenes in her recently published memoir, “You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It: A Candid New York Times Bestselling Memoir of Hollywood, Aging, and Owning It All.”
“We hated each other,” Rinna wrote, adding that Kelker-Kelly “made my life a living hell on the set of ‘Days.’”
Rinna and Kelker-Kelly won a Soap Opera Digest Award in 1995 for the hottest soap couple. The year prior, Kelker-Kelly won one of the awards for outstanding lead actor.

David Ellison wasted no time in adding the Skydance name to the iconic Warner Bros. water tower in Burbank.
On Tuesday morning, shortly after Paramount officially closed its $111 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery to form Skydance, the famous landmark on the Warner Bros. studio lot was updated with a new line: “A Skydance Corporation.”
There’s precedent for the move: After Ellison closed Skydance Media’s takeover of Paramount Global in August 2025, the water tower on the Paramount Pictures Studios lot in Hollywood was updated to add “A Skydance Corporation” as well. That indicates, by the way, that Ellison’s plan all along was to rename a merged Paramount-WBD as Skydance, the name of the film production firm he founded in 2006.
Here’s a photo of workers adding the Skydance name to the WB water tower:
The merger — which had been opposed by many actors, filmmakers and other industry professionals — brings together the two major studios; TV networks including CBS, CNN, Comedy Central, MTV and TNT; and streaming services Paramount+ and HBO Max. The new Skydance will have annual revenue of nearly $70 billion, according to the company, but it also will have to manage paying down some $80 billion in net debt.
The Ellison family, with the backing of Larry Ellison, David’s multibillionaire father, holds the largest equity stake in Skydance. The Ellisons and investment firm RedBird Capital Partners together are the sole holders of Paramount Class A common stock, which gives them 100% control of the combined company’s voting shares.
David Ellison, who is the new Skydance’s chairman and CEO, and co-CEO Ynon Kreiz (formerly chief exec of Mattel) sent a lengthy memo to employees at the combined company Tuesday morning. They outlined their goals for Skydance, while acknowledging that there will be job cuts coming as a result of integrating the operations of Paramount and Warner Bros.
“Integrating two companies will bring change, including difficult decisions that affect our workforce,” the execs wrote in the memo, a copy of which was obtained by Variety. “We are committed to handling this process thoughtfully and respectfully.”
In a town hall Tuesday with employees of the former Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery, which was livestreamed around the globe, both Ellison and Kreiz also delivered remarks from L.A.
“Let’s be honest – it wasn’t easy to get here,” Ellison told staffers of the new Skydance, according to a source. “At times it was downright ugly. And at nearly every turn, someone told us it couldn’t be done. And here we are.” He continued: “I’m not telling you this to relive it. I’m telling you because every setback, every hard night, every moment when it would have been easier to walk away, was worth it. I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat. Why? Because of what we now get to build together.”
The town hall included a Q&A session with the two execs, moderated by CNN anchor Anderson Cooper.
