In 2020, Anson Williams spontaneously texted his former real estate agent and asked if she wanted to meet him for lunch. Although he did not have moving, or selling his longtime home, on his mind, lunch went on for three hours. “We have not been apart from that day,” says the Happy Days alumturned-TV director.
Last May, Anson and Sharon MaHarry, both 73, wed in the backyard of the Ojai, Calif., home she had sold him 13 years earlier. “It’s such a joy when you find someone who sees inside you and loves you so much,” Anson gushes to Closer. “Sharon is just amazing.”
LAST CHANCE
The pair entered each other’s lives at exactly the right time. In 2019, Anson and Jackie Gerken, with whom he shares three daughters, filed for divorce for a second and final time after 30 years together. (The actor also has a child from his first marriage to actress Lorrie Mahaffey, who played his girlfriend on six episodes of Happy Days.)
