Anson Williams, best known for his portrayal of Warren “Potsie” Weber in the popular American sitcom “Happy Days,” recently made headlines for a topic unrelated to his previous work.
Warren “Potsie” Weber, played by Anson Williams, is best known for appearing in the American sitcom ‘Happy Days’. Throughout the show’s 11 seasons, Potsie, a somewhat innocent but good-hearted singer, charmed audiences. From 1974 to 1984, this character was portrayed by Anson Williams.
Williams’ well-known performance was instrumental in developing his career and led to Golden Globe nominations for Best Series, Miniseries or TV Movie, and Best Supporting Actor. Williams was also a Golden Globe winner for Best Supporting Actor. However, the actor recently appeared in the news on a topic unrelated to his previous work.
At the age of 73, Williams exchanged vows with Sharon MaHarry on Saturday, May 6, 2023. Williams is now a happily married man. At that time, the actor’s life had a big turning point due to the amazing wedding ceremony that took place in his garden.
Williams struggled terribly with her health and had a troubled love life.
The TV icon looked dapper in a black suit, light blue shirt, and patterned gray tie. He added a gray tie with a design to it. He also added a boutonniere to the lapel of his jacket and a pair of black glasses to complete his ensemble.
Williams’ bride, on the other hand, looked stunning in a floor-length lace dress with long sleeves and a boat neck. The skirt of the garment was similarly full. She had a beautiful floral arrangement in her arms and her shoulder-length blonde hair was loose, some of it tied back over her face.
As they committed their lives to each other in front of their loved ones, the newlyweds could be seen beaming with joy. Williams and MaHarry were married in a beautiful home in the seaside city of Los Angeles. Williams has tried unsuccessfully to run for mayor of Ojai in the past.
The groom’s beautiful, spacious, green yard, which was decorated with large flower pots and flower pots, served as the venue for the wedding. The event was attended by relatives and close friends of the couple. The addition of twinkling lights hung from the branches of nearby trees made the celebration even more memorable.
MaHarry’s closest family and friends watched in disbelief as her daughter walked her down the aisle to marry the man she had long known to be her true love. A beautiful song played in the background as the bride and groom pledged to live their lives together.
According to Williams’ Facebook page, MaHarry and Williams got engaged on April 3. He kept a cheerful smile throughout, which perfectly captured the essence of his excitement. Don Most, Williams’ on-screen partner in the series, played Ralph Malfoy on “Happy Days.” Williams’ best man was Most.
Through the time they spent working together on the program, the two men formed a fantastic bond. Most is a close friend of Williams’ and Williams often refers to him as his “brother”. The loving bond the two previously shared remained.
Many of Williams’ fans recognized Most in the pictures he uploaded of his happy day on social media and congratulated him and the newlyweds.
“Congratulations!!! You are a beautiful bride and I admire the best man you have chosen. One user said: “He’s still got it.” “Anson, you two look great.” When was the last time I saw you smile like that? It’s been a while time. God bless you both, another user of the site commented.
While all this was going on, the joyous groom couldn’t contain his joy as he admired his beautiful bride and uploaded their photo on Facebook with the caption ‘A magical moment in time’.
The lady who became Williams’ better half is said to have entered his life during the winter and once Williams knew she was the one he was meant to be with. He survived a terrifying health crisis and his 30-year marriage ended, yet he still firmly believes that “It’s never too late to get it right!”
MaHarry is a seasoned real estate agent who has built a successful business for himself. In addition, he also tried writing and advertising. She attended Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia, where she earned an English degree.

Previously, she held the positions of senior vice president and creative director of the advertising agency Young and Rubicam in New York. She also wrote the book “Crazy Mama: A Memoir of Love and Madness.” Lindsay, a journalist who lives in Los Angeles, is the only daughter he has.
Williams married MaHarry in the sleepy town of Ojai, California, where he moved in 2011 to enjoy a quieter, more peaceful life. The former ‘Melrose Place star explained why he decided to uproot his family from Los Angeles at the time, saying he wanted to raise his children in a safe area.

He was only in Ojai occasionally, on weekends, but he fell in love with the people and the spirit of the place. Over time, Williams and his family began visiting the area more often and eventually moved there permanently.
Williams reportedly found solace and peace in Ojai and also fell in love with the city’s kind people and its safe environment. He said, “I owe a lot of my health, my sanity, and my ability to move forward to Ojai.”
Williams was previously married twice – once in 1978 to Lorrie Mahaffey and again in 1986 to another woman. His second marriage was to Jackie Gerkens, and although they were together for nearly three decades and had five children, the couple struggled to find happiness. At first, they decided to break up, but soon after changed their minds and decided to try again.
The couple first started divorce proceedings in September 2019, but just a month later, Williams reportedly went to court to ask for the case to be dismissed. However, nine months later, things started to seem off and by 2020, the couple decided to split up.
Williams struggled terribly with her health and had a troubled love life. In the days before Christmas in 2016, he received the news that he had stage 2 colon cancer.

Shortly after that, he underwent two procedures and spent three weeks in the hospital.
Not only did he successfully overcome the disease that threatened his life, but thanks to the event he also gained a new perspective on life.
Williams claims that after realizing his purpose in life, he had a newfound love and respect for his family, especially his children, and grandchildren. He noted, “I always knew I loved them and I always knew they were important, but now it’s on a whole new level.”
