Height Difference Leads to Controversy in Happy Days Dating Show

Advertisment

The star of the TV show “Happy Days” was Angie Martinez, who played the character named Beth. She had been a cheerleader for many years and now found herself single after her marriage to Richard. Age and a reputation for being a bit tall bothered her to choose a date with a young man named Dan. When the two finally did meet, Angie made the decision to use her height advantage to help them work through their relationship and get married.

Age and Nationality: AngieMartin is Hispanic and therefore, the producers of “Happy Days” felt that it was important to show the couple as a couple who were of the same nationality. In reality, Dan was white, and Beth was Asian. The producers therefore had to play up the nationalities of the couple in order to make them seem more alike and therefore closer. Although this didn’t really have any bearing on the outcome of the marriage, it certainly didn’t help the situation.

Age and Nationality: Although AngieMartin was a little shorter than the man she was dating, there wasn’t a visible height difference. This age and nationality difference didn’t have any impact on the overall happiness of the couple’s relationship. Dan was happy in his marriage and Angie was happy to be with him. The height difference may have influenced her decision to pick Dan over Richard, but it really had no effect on the overall quality of their relationship.
